Amazing as usual. You want top end Spanish cuisine, this is it!Scallops Vieras has to be one of the top dishes in Columbus. I like that it's been on the menu for 25 years. 5* food and menu selection, service, environment, wine list. Any city would be proud to have a restaurant of this quality, and we have it here in Columbus.

The wine events are key but the seafood paella is supreme. I was introduced to Barcelona during their happy hour when I was commuting back and forth between Cleveland. With the long bar and attentive staff, it seemed like a cool place to continue to explore. I appreciate the dedication to being an authentic menu and yes I know it is not my loved Cafe Ba Ba Reba in Chicago but the Paella is in the grouping with them. I think Barcelona tries to straddle the fence with authentic items and interpretations that are brought on by the chefs. There is also a pretty loyal following of wine selections that are showcased in the wine events they have quarterly. My second introduction to them was the bargain priced wine events and the clientele from them. It was a way to combine my love and missing being in a wine club with the lax atmosphere of the venue. If they could do one in the warmer months while their patio is open- that would be awesome! From the photos attached you can see we have ventured there quite a few times and I will say the Paella can feed at least 3-4 people and is reasonably priced. The wine is as well. The appetizers/tapas are fit to be shared though we have noticed, probably due to inflation, that the octopus dish has changed significantly and is now 'shaved' as opposed to gettin grilled tentacles as before. I wouldn't suggest it for the price due to that change. Other than you are looking at $12-20/dish and the dessert around the same pricing as well. Good for a night out but also try their calendar events options!

We decided to check out Barcelona on a Friday during the weekend of the Arnold. We ordered a few tapas to share and had some drinks. We had the calamares fritos , coles de bruselas and the patatas bravas. , The waiter recommended the filete de hierro which we got as well. I have to say I loved all of the tapas aside from the filete de hierro, it was quite tough. For drinks my girlfriend had the key lime martini and I had the carajillo. We both loved our drinks. Overall we had a great experience, I wish I remembered our waiters name but he was amazing. We will definitely be back during warmer weather to check out the lovely patio!

All-around excellence.I used to live in German Village, apparently before Barcelona moved in. And then when it showed up I kept hearing about it but it was far off my usual routes. Lately I've been hanging out down there more, and the other day while driving by I saw that they have lunch hours (before they didn't, or I assumed they didn't.) So I stopped in today, right when they opened. Much bigger inside than I expected. And much nicer. I knew it was a bit upscale, but it is just gorgeous inside. I felt a little underdressed in my t-shirt, one of my nicer ones but still. There was hardly anyone there, though, and the staff didn't make me feel that way, so it was fine. There are many seating options inside, and a beautiful patio. Soft relaxing Spanish music playing (and apparently they often have live music.)And the menu. Oh, my. So many things looked good. I didn't have a lot of time and wasn't starving, so I went with gazpacho and the bocata sandwich. The waiter pointed out that I could make a cup of gazpacho one of the sides with the sandwich, so I did that. Worked great, though the soup was so good I could have easily eaten more (and left overstuffed.) The gazpacho was thick and luscious, and looked and tasted like it was made with ingredients fresh from your backyard. The bocata... Well, picture a sub. Okay, now give it excellent bread, savory Spanish meats, great cheese, fresh tasty greens. Oh, and a slightly-spicy pepper pinned on top. Great parts, great balance, great sandwich. I had Pellegrino with it, appropriate and refreshing on a hot day. They offered dessert but I didn't have room or time. I will definitely be back for that, paella, calamari, and more.

What a beautiful find! Great Tapas and Paellas. Our server Lucas was super-intuitive, pleasant and helpful. Excellent all around!

Previously came here on a Saturday evening for my 4th anniversary dinner. Such a beautiful chic restaurant with a lot of culture and love. It's vibrant, fun, and elegant with the perfect dim lighting for a romantic feel. The service was outstanding as the servers were very attentive to make sure we were enjoying both our time there and the food. She did an amazing job at explaining the dishes and recommended items that we would enjoy. The food was a bit pricy, but it was still filling at the end of the visit. The food was absolutely amazing when it came to taste! My rack of lamb from the paella de Cordero was cooked to perfection, which is often hard to do with lamb! Thus it won bonus points from me. The seafood paella's freshness and quality made it taste heavenly. We both left extremely satisfied and delighted with the entire experience. It was definitely worth the slight splurge. I must come back soon... and if you love seafood or Spanish tapas, then Barcelona is a must try for you!

Bartenders are amazing as usual and the tapas are spot on. Tonight we sampled some cocktails and they were spot on fantastic. Come see Raven and Justin for an awesome happy hour or dinner at the bar.

I sat at the bar for a quick bite that turned into a meal! Started with red sangria and mussels. The red da grit was nice and refreshing and the mussels were hearty and delicious! Moved on to a tempranillo, shaved brussel sprouts (with goat cheese), and flank steak. All was delicious - the steak came with a smoked tomato romesco that was very nice! Bartender was great with wine recommendations and letting me taste wines before I bought. Finished with a dessert wine flight and a cheese plate. Understand - they don't have a cheese plate, so they served cheese and accompaniments from the charcuterie board without the meats. It was massive. First time I've had to take cheese home! I'll drop in again!...

A nice place, u can just park near the park on the street. Good food, just wished it could be quicker
