I stopped in here for dinner while in the area. I sat at the bar and luckily it was during the 4-6pm happy hour. The staff was great and personable. I had a couple glasses of wine and the Caesar salad was fantastic! Big portion and the good white anchovies (not the dehydrated gray ones from a can). Fantastic. I also had the happy hour potatoes and mussels. Both were fantastic and the sauces were on point. I will definitely return.

Food is not bad but also not the top level Spanish restaurant we tried. Especially the steak we ordered is a bit over cooked Service and atmosphere is wonderful. If you are not super picky about food this is a good place to go.

Our reservation was at 7pm and there was a bit of a wait still when we came. Street parking is impossible! You would need to valet for $10. We started with a bottle of white for $73 that was suggested by the server Ethan, it was light & nice. Our tapas were as ff: 1. Carpaccio de pulpo - thin slices of octupus with just 3 crostinis! This was enjoyable, wish it had had more crostini though. 2. Arrachera - very tasty chimichurri sauce, however the skirt steak was not tender. 3. Manchego - this was good, the sundried tomato complemented the cheese. Now for the Paella there was quite a bit of a wait. We had the Barcelona I had high hopes based on reviews, now this was mediocre! Nothing spectacular here, the taste was mid. We were disappointed. We capped with a slice of Lemon cake, it was ok didn't really get to finish, it was dry slightly crumbly and we paired with additional flight of 3 reds and 3 whites. Is it worth coming back? Not in my opinion, I'll search for other tapas place.

The food is just so overpriced.I have never had so bad paella before.It tasted so bad, I think someone just burned it? the drinks also had more ice than the actual drinks. Just one good thing about this place is the service. The waitress did her job very well.

It is our 1st time come here, we like it and we will come back again.The menu has small plates and big plates.We had 9 plates, including bread at beginning. Super full ?8 small plates & 1 big plates (pork shank)- beet salad: 7/10 . Too sour for me. But still good.- pumpkin soup: 10/10 . Amazing.- grilled 0 . Nah...cold dish. It doesn't taste like octopus.- calamari: 7.5/10. It good and fine.- fried potatoes: 8/10z- mussels: 8/10. I wish they can bake our bread more a little bit.- pork shank: 7.5/10 . Sweet pork shank. But the cabbage, it doesn't match with it.- chocolates: 10/10

Our server Brendan was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the food and wine. Food was fantastic. Ambiance was great. Hosts were super pleasant. The manager took time to check on us. Highly recommend paella Barcelona. Could easily fed 8-10 with tapas. I can not wait to go
