This was my first visit to your restaurant with my husband. It came highly recommended by my brother. I had the scallop special with chorizo sausage in an asparagus purée served over linguine. This meal was by far the best scallop dinner I have ever had. The scallops and sausage were so tender, the spinach and asparagus purée had an unbelievable… flavor. My husband chose the eggplant parmigiana which he also said was the best he ever had. We also had the calamari as an appetizer. Warm bread, delicious salad was included with dinner. Our waiter was excellent too. Five stars

We were very disappointed. I ordered the Veal Daniel and my wife had the Red Snapper. The veal tasted prrocessed and the sauce added little to overall dish. My wife commented that the snapper tasted prefrozen and she did not finish the meal. The other couple also were not impressed with their entree and In the end we all agreed that the desert was the best part of our dinner. We will not be going back any time soon.

Myself & my girlfriend are upstate NY for a little getaway and just happened to decide to make a reservation here at Barcelona. Pleasantly surprised would be a complete understatement. Barcelona is amazing,… from the wonderful decor and traditional Spaniard vibe to the excellent service was good enough before we even ordered. We shared the chorizo sausage for appetizer which was perfect! My girlfriend ordered the Gambas Al Ajillo, a shrimp dish cooked in olive oil, garlic over saffron rice which she raved about and I had the Chicken ala vodka which is quite possibly the best I've ever

The food, dessert and the waitress were great. Our appetizer was fried calamari and I got the salmon, rice and a side salad and the boyfriend got the red snapper and mussels with rice and a side salad. The fish was tasty, the rice had room for improvement. The waitress was very nice. But the hostess left us with a very bitter taste. When I originally called for reservations she simply just said hello? No introduction and I had to ask to make sure I was calling the right place. One of the few two person tables were right in front of the emergency exit. Which is a huge fire hazard. When we asked

The sangria was delicious. The salmon special- really good! I was surprised a family was seated at the table next to ours(during covid)- even though there were many empty tables throughout the restaurant. It was probably 6 ft away..but I was just a bit panaroid TBH. The tres leches cake is amazing! A nice place for date night

Fantastic food and plenty of it! Great views over the city. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. Great place for a special occasion, get dressed up! We loved all the food, I particular loved my soufflé which they offer to break in for you, but I did it myself - that’s the best part! The bar on the other side also great! Reasonably priced for the quality of food and the great view. Recommended.
