Barcelona Wine Bar, 1085 Howell Mill Road

“This place has a fantastic concept. Shared plates, a plethora of wines to order, a romantic/ intimate ambiance and friendly staff. My cousin and I came to yap and catch up so we ordered the Dates, Brussels, Cauliflower, Patas Bravas, Empanadas, and hummus to share and ended up downing two bottles of wine, the Petit Manseng Viognier and the Monte Quieto Alegre. Im sure we were here over 2 hours. All items highly recommended. I definitely think I found my newest wine bar in the city to dine! I love that there was no rush to get us out and we truly could just order at our own pace. Thank you for a great evening! 10 out of 10 recommend.”

“First impression visit. Brown building with red sign. Valet Parking. I believe valet is $5. I ordered the shrimp and kale salad with a glass of wine. It cost $29.95. Pros The vibes are given at this establishment. Nice set up, dim lights, and light music. The food is tapas style. It was delicious. The shrimp was hot and fresh and the salad was refreshing. The service was perfect. Manager was on the floor, talking to tables, and helping wherever they could. A1 service. Cons This is a tapas so the portion sizes are small. They do have large plates available though. Would I Recommend: Absolutely. This is a great spot to take a date or for a girls night out.”

“This place was really great! Valet parking which was only $5. The Assistant General Manager Allyse greeted us at the door and escorted us to the table which was no wait at all. She was very nice and communicated everything. At the table we had Isiah as our server. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. We opted for the small plates which turned out to be plenty of food. We had Salmon, steak, Spanich, potato tortilla, Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes which were hands down 100% delicious. Any issues we had were handled immediately and without issue. I recommend this restaurant for a date night or a simple friend’s outing. Fred the general manager was also very nice and came to each table to greet us. We absolutely loved this place. It was very inexpensive for everything we paid a little over $100. Which was great. We also ordered the Red Sangria pitcher which was plenty enough for two people and taste very good.We will be back again!!!!!!!!!!”

“I dined here on Sunday and when I tell you, this place is giving I loved everything about it from the staff to the food and the drinks. The manager O sat Us she is the sweetest ever Keenan was our server. He was on point to the T. Alexis walked by. I asked her did she have A1 sauce she said no however the kitchen prepared me a homemade one that was better than the original. There was so many cute antique items there I can’t wait to go back. I wanna try brunch very soon.”

“So disappointed. Amazing food! Lovely restaurant and vibe. But service failed us multiple times in different ways on the evening of 6/3. I wish we could have had the great experience others in the reviews are reporting. I also hope the owner reads the long email I sent. I blame the manager who handled his servers and the guests very poorly. And also shame to the server who tried to gaslight us by saying they had ran out of oranges for the sangria as we stared at 2 baskets of them on the bar counter and we ended up asking another server to bring the fruit for my friends bday sangria. It wasn’t about the fruit it’s about not being a customer service professional, and I was a server/bartender for over 10yrs. These were not the only 2 issues that night but again, I hope the owner reads my email and follows up with myself and the staff. Thanks to our server with the long locs for at least listening to our concerns, apologizing (as some things, not all 😒, were out of his control), and his attempts at rectifying the night. The manager again did not and needs to be talked to.”
