Barcelona Wine Bar

Came here on NYE without reservation and was lucky enough to get a table despite the long waiting list. Some of the dishes were sold out (it's NYE). I ordered the chicken and paella. The chicken was the best chicken dish I've ever had and the paella was good. Service was excellent eventho it was full house. I also got a cheesecake and tasted ok.

Eating here is an experience. The employees- incredible! Everyone is so familiar with the menu and our waitress literally brought us one of her favorites on the house because she knew we’d love it. Speaking of which, the food was amazing and authentic. As someone whose spent months in Barcelona, I’m very impressed. The manager was very attentive and bubbly, she went to each table several times to chat and make sure everyone was happy. To top it all off, great atmosphere to eat in. I’d give this place 10 stars if I could!

I ordered a wine flight. When it arrived, all three glasses were dirtied with smudges on them, a bit of what looked like a red onion skin fleck, and some other opaque flake of dried food. Honestly astounding, considering we were there on a random Tuesday evening. Waitress was inattentive and had disappeared, so I walked up to the bar myself to fix the situation. The bartender was so absent-minded; I was standing there with all three glasses and he didn't even look at me once. Eventually, the manager noticed the situation, apologized, and took the flight off of our bill. But man, what an absolute nightmare. As for the food: underwhelming. We tried five plates. Charred snap peas weren't charred and had no flavor. The carrots were all different sizes, so they cooked unevenly. The artichokes were good. The potatoes were also good. My partner enjoyed their tiny steak, but probably would have enjoyed it more if we weren't so disgusted by the wine glasses.
