" Had a wonderful time at BARCA! The staff was friendly and very helpful. I particularly loved their hummus and pita as an appetizer. The entrée options were diverse and satisfying. The service was good considering how busy they were! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! The tapas here truly capture the vibrant flavors of Spain. Each dish had its own unique twist, but the highlight for me was the patatas bravas topped with a spicy aioli. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible views and amazing food! I highly recommend the calamari and the butternut squash dip. The atmosphere was great for our casual dinner date. We did find the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected, but we ordered multiple plates to share, which worked out perfectly. Would definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Charming place with a wonderful ambiance. The cocktails were quite unique! However, I felt the tapas selection could use a little more variety. The service was decent but it took a while to get our order right. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were a large group celebrating a special occasion. The staff did a fantastic job accommodating us. The food was delightful, especially the gambas al ajillo and the cheeses they recommended. We will be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect setting for a special date night! While the atmosphere was romantic, the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. Most dishes were bland and unexciting. The tapas style dining was fun but we left feeling less satisfied than we had hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the place looked great and had a really nice vibe, I was disappointed in the quality of the food. The hummus was good but didn’t stand out. The shrimp was overcooked and the service was a little slow, which detracted from the experience. " (*Curated Review*)
