Barcelona Restaurant-Wine Bar

Fantastic food, highly recommend and I will definitely return. It was a little hectic at lunch, but worth it with some patience! Calamari and the blackened tilapia ???? Parking: Parking around back

During our short stay in Albany we decided to visit the Barcelona Restaurant. From the very first step in to our leave everything was great. The hostess and our waitress were very sweet, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was big in portions and delicious. The atmosphere itself was really amazing too. It is a bit on pricey side, but the whole experience worth it. If I were in the area, would definitely come back.

Everything was perfect out on the rooftop deck! It was a brisk, end of the first nice Saturday of spring, evening and there were two servers for about six people outside, so my needs were well taken care of... And the chill kept my excellent martini, just the way I like it! The menu was tempting all the way around, as was the wine list. I settled for the filet, that was served with a deliciously thick pan sauce and a bottle of wonderful Spanish Rioja. The wine came to the table, right along with a few crusty warm rolls wrapped up in a basket. So good with the oil and herbs and a nice salad of mixed greens. Wow! Then the filet was served and the meal was nearly perfect. My filet was a touch overcooked (the high end of medium, instead of medium rare), but the time it took to make this pan sauce paid off and the meal was perfect. So perfect, I decided to order the coconut flan for desert! It is a Spanish restaurant after all. It did not disappoint. With dollops of whipped cream and
