Barcelona Wine Bar

How have I never been to Barcelona before??? I had dinner there last night and it was one of the best meals I have had, period. First of all, the service was absolutely fantastic. Some of the best service I've had in the city. We let our server know we're vegetarians, and she marked up a menu for us letting us know what we could eat, which I really appreciated. I also appreciated the large selection of veggie options. I ordered sangria, which was excellent, and then the beets, hummus, Brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, and mushroom croquettes, as well as a goat cheese soaked in red wine. Everything, down to the free bread and olive oil, was life changing. I had an absolutely incredible dining experience and I already can't wait to return.

I prefer this location to the other one because it's quieter and service tends to be quicker. I like bringing out of town guests here because there are so many different types of food for everyone. The staff is very good at recommending how much food to order without it being too much. The wine flights are good, outdoor seating is nice. I love their paella and they have lots of vegetarian options.

Went for a glass of wine and some tapas and some charcuterie. The portions for the charcuterie were excellent. I usually feel robbed paying $$ for a speck of cheese. The selection was excellent and sizable. The jamon was generous as well. The octopus/pulpo was flavorful and tender. Would only suggest warm pulpo on a cold bean side was off-putting. Service was good but not great at the bar. Worth the visit.

Good food (except for the ribs, which were dry), but marred by the indifference to how late they are seating you for a reservation. Saying "it's a busy Friday night" and acting annoyed when you ask for a prediction on the wait time is no way to make your customers feel welcome. If you're not even going to bother trying to honor reservations on busy nights /times, the change some policies (don't accept reservations at those times, or limit table time).

The Barcelona is a really delicious tapas bar / restaurant. The room is air-conditioned with a very trendy and nice decoration. There are also tables outside. The tapas are as good as in Spain, the waiters are very nice and the sangria is really delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant that I love!

Had the absolute best experience at Barcelona Cathedral Heights thanks to manager Catie. Her service was incredible and she was not only flexible and tended to my party quickly, but when I left my wallet at the restaurant was super accommodating and understanding. The food was delicious and servers were fun! Would recommend to anyone and is definitely a top 3 restaurant in DC.
