Fantastic Service and very tasty appetizers and drinks for birthday happy hour at the bar. We had fried artichokes, meatballs, potato dish and amazing white sangria!

What an amazing place! It was our second time and this time it was a family reunion! They really know how to show up and show out! Adam was exceptional with ensuring we had everything we needed on the table including the wine! The wine is a MUST buy! It's called Belinda and that means beautiful it is served chilled but is a dry red so it's so fitting for summer. This restaurant aims to please and they NEVER miss!

Great dining experience, spectacular service!! Everything we ate was great!!! Starting with the Paella, loaded with calamari, mussels, clams and shrimp, it was cooked to perfection, especially the rice, it was so flavorful and had that touch of "spelling". socarrat, the crunchy rice at the bottom of the pan. We tried the albondigas meatballs, the croquettes with potatoes and jamon ham on top of an aioli to die for. We also had shrimp ajilo (garlic shrimp) my wife's favorite, and Chimichurri flank steak, tender cuts of meat with their chimichurri sauce. My favorite the beef empanadas we ordered these multiple times! We also tried the patatas bravas awesome, and they had that delicious aioli also! We finished with the lomo iberico ham, very tasty. For dessert we order the arroz con leche rice pudding, corn panacotta, and the burnt basque cheesecake, tasty but not the best. Overall a great dining experience, took off a star for two reasons, the desserts weren't so special, and their A/C wasn't working and hasn't been working for a while! Would definitely return, but the A/C better be working!

We met at Barcelona Wine Bar for lunch in Reston Town Center. I love that it so close to the parking garage and overlooks the park area. We were seated outside immediately upon arriving. We had peach mimosas and a variety of tapas. Highly recommend the chorizo and fig, and the potato tortilla. My friend was gluten free so we didn't order, but normally I also get jamon and manchego croquettes and the patatas bravas. Speaking of, the restaurant handled my friend's gluten allergy extremely well. They marked a menu with the items she could eat, sides that could be subbed for vegetables, and potential cross contamination.

If you are looking for some delicious tapas then this is your spot! The ambiance is very moody and seductive. They have great wines and are always packed. I've been here twice and enjoyed a variety of tapas including the gambas al ajillo, truffle sheep's cheese, potato tortilla, patatas bravas, chicken thigh, and flank steak. Our favorite is definitely the truffle sheep's cheese. It's very creamy and to die for. We've also tried the paella salvaje which was good and filling. Great date night spot. Would highly recommend! Overall this is a 10/10 for me! Love the variety of options in tapas that they offer.

We got carryout for the first time in a long time. It was ready on time, packed very nicely and included and ENTIRE loaf of bread. Not complaining, it'll last a while! The swordfish was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. Also, the mushrooms were just divine. Really enjoyed the freshness of the watermelon salad with it being warm this weekend. The asparagus was incredibly fresh and delicious. I could go on. Barcelona does tapas right. It's very lively for dining in, but definitely consider it for carry out when you feel like enjoying a delicious meal at home.

Got the opportunity to try Barcelona's cocktails a bit more in-depth post dinner with a friend! The Espresso Martini and Gin drinks were lovely - not too strong, but very flavorful and allowed us to taste the liquor evenly alongside various spices. The espresso was creamy and had great notes of cinnamon in each sip. I loved the Lemon Drop Martini! Super smooth, not too sour, and appreciated the sugar rim. All drinks came out to around $12 each - not bad at all. Finally, the Chocolate Cake was a delicious ganache in a solid, lava-cake like chocolate base. As a lover of rich chocolate desserts, this one was an instant favorite of mine :) The service was incredibly speedy despite it being such a busy night! The servers were kind as always and made us feel comfortable from the time we got there. Worth a visit!

Seriously good food, great service, and cool atmosphere. We came here as a group from work for dinner and ended up getting the chef tasting menu due to the size we had. There were so many tapas, many of which would have never been ordered if we all ordered 2-3 individually. The highlights for me were the labineh, pork belly, bone marrow, and marinated beef. The beet salad and burrata were also very good and a well needed break from protein. We had the meat paella and it was amazing, the crisp on the pan was perfect and the flavors were perfect. The service staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and is pretty large overall. Definitely come here with an appetite and don't be afraid to try something new, everything is delicious!

Likely an industry and locals standard for exceptional service in providing hospitality for wine, cocktail, and tapas enthusiasts. Excellent by every metric. While I consider it my job to discern and proffer quibbles, I possess none for this establishment asides from it often being too loud; and not having a nightclub partition. Perfect venue for such.
