Barcelona Restaurant And Bar Columbus

Went here for an anniversary dinner with my fiancée. I put this detail in the reservation and they did have a menu saying happy anniversary, and the man who seated us wished us a happy anniversary as well, which was good. The atmosphere is great, one thing I liked was the music volume was not too loud. The service was fantastic and we were well taken care of by our waitress. We ordered red wine flight, a plate of mussels and fried potatoes to start, and all of that came out pretty quickly. I was very happy with the size of the mussel "plate" (it came in a metal container) and the potatoes too. Both tasted great, best mussels I've had for sure. We also ordered the Lamb Paella. It was easily enough to feed two people with some left over, especially after having eaten two plates. Unfortunately, the Lamb was far more rare than expected and was very fatty to the point that the vast majority of it was just not edible. This was pretty disappointing especially because of the price. However, the rest of the Paella was very good and flavorful. To end on a good note though, we did have the pumpkin cheesecake and it was incredible, probably one of the best cheesecakes I've had from a restaurant. Oreo crust was super good and the pumpkin flavor was perfectly balanced. I think Barcelona is absolutely worth going to for a nice dinner, I doubt the Lamb mistake is the norm and their food was great otherwise, as was everything else. I'd probably go for the Paella Barcelona (the seafood Paella) if I returned or was recommending to others, since they clearly do seafood well here.

AMAZING. Caroline was a wonderful server. So helpful with drinks and menu, attentive and sweet. The food was phenomenal. Fresh, healthy. Wonderful. The drinks were flavorful and strong. Clean and beautiful restaurant. So glad we stopped in for a great dinner.
