"It was a Tuesday evening and apart from one other couple, we were the only diners. I was very disappointed with the food this time. We hadn't visited Barcelona for quite a few years and on this occasion I was taking a friend out for a birthday meal. The management is still the same and the owner is very nice, friendly and the service was good. But the food I would say was below par. The calamaris were rubbery and the batter soggy. The prawns in garlic were OK but nothing special and just the same size as you can buy in a local supermarket. The mixed salad was soggy and we left half of it. The presentation just didn't have that je ne sais quoi. We had a nice bottle of wine, but for over £60 (for two) with no desert or coffee I wasn't impressed. There was a fresh flower on each of the tables, but a little extra ambience like a candle on the table would also make a difference to the dining experience. I got the impression that the sparkle has gone now. I think they need to up their game and get a new chef!"

It was a good job we were catching up with close friends as we has so much time to talk waiting for our food. What did arrive was delicious but so slow

The restaurant was excellent - the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. The service was efficient and the food was delicious. Overall, it was a great value for the price. I would give it a 5-star rating.

We made a reservation for dinner last Sunday at 21:00 and end up going there and it’s closed! Very very disappointing as they didn’t even inform us that the resto was closed that day at that time. They should sort that out!

The restaurant was pleasant enough, but unfortunately, there were only two other diners present during the entire time we were there, so it lacked atmosphere. The Barcelona Rioja Reserve wine was very good, but the food was only average.

The restaurant was very quiet people-wise so ambience was subdued but the staff were pleasant and the choice of tapas was excellent. Served well and authentic. Altogether good food but the Cava is overpriced at £8.25 a glass whereas the house Rioja was tasty and well priced !

The manager at this restaurant has a bad attitude and added an extra tip for himself after I used a voucher code. Reviews on Google indicate that this is not an isolated incident. He seemed unhappy and barely acknowledged us. It's no wonder my partner and I were the only customers there on a Sunday night at 7:30pm.

Went for New years eve and what a disappointment. I had prebooked the set nye menu, which included a glass of cava on entry, that didn't happen, the man got confused and gave us the a la carte menu and struggled to understand our requests. Myself and partner waited about 30minutes just to get a drink and that was only after having to ask, after the waiter deserted us. The restaurant was not busy so there was no excuse for the complete lack of service. Everything we wanted from drinks, food to the bill had to be asked for by us, no service appalling. We were couped up onto a tiny table with our plates of tapas resulting in spilling drinks and using the window sill to put things because of the...

Having driven past a few times, my wife and I decided to give Barcelona a try. We made a booking because we were going on a Saturday evening, but it didn 't seem that we needed to it wasn 't that busy. The waiting staff had some difficulty in understanding English and while we both appreciate the authenticity of 'native ' staff, they must be able to understand what is being requested of them. A gin and Tonic should not be a trial to order! The decor and ambience of the restaurant was a little bland and cafe ish, with a preponderance of hard surfaces which did little to soften the chatter of the less subtle conversationalists. We ordered a few tapas dishes, which all turned up at about the sa...
