    Amazing dining experience! Our server Felicia was fantastic. Very kind, patient, and helpful with ordering. Breakfast was outstanding. The ambiance was very cozy on a winter morning with music soft enough to have good conversation.

    Had our monthly girls dinner at Barcelona for December and it was wonderful. There were 10 of us and they put us at a round table, which is always preferred and our server Paul was wonderful. We split tapas and bottles of wine and the energy in the restaurant was so welcoming. The main courses were phenomenal, the steak was incredible. Everyone left full and happy and Paul ended the night dazzling us with a magic trick. We want to come back in the summer to sit on the patio!

    Overall, we felt like welcomed and appreciated patrons, and we will most certainly be back. Food was great, most had hanger steak. Drinks were excellent. The table size was perfect for our group. Its location at the door made for a noisier, colder and less private dinner, and the use of stools for two of our party was less comfortable for them. Our server, Jenna was great, and she made up for the inconvenience with her enjoyable personality, complimentary bruschetta, and flexibility on appetizer portions.
