The ambience is great, the servers are very nice. The dishes are usually very good. I did have one off-tasting fish recently. The one thing I wish would change is for them to stop charging for broccolini but serving just basic broccoli, sliced to look thinner.

Great tapas with plenty of outdoor and bar seating. The meatballs were very tender and full of flavor. Also, the abundant sauce is great for dipping your bread. The seafood paella was amazing. Perfectly cooked shrimp and squid. Clams and mussels were very tasty. The steak and egg was OK. Definitely get the potatoes. Super yummy! The servers will walk you thru the menu, if needed.

Came here for lunch. Had Mimosa Peach sangrias, chanteuse cheese board, watermelon salad, mussels and Serrano Benedict. The food was excellent and tasty. Our waiter was Elijah was very good and attentive but no too hovering. The atmosphere was comfortable and laid back. Overall a great lunch

Located in Reston Town Center, I stumbled across this restaurant when my wine pickup was interrupted due to Coopers Hawk being closed. But this mishap turned into a wonderful outing that left my belly full and happy. The decor was stellar, the service was on point and the food hit all cylinders from freshness to authenticity. Even though everything was very tasty, my favorites were the Patatas Brava, eggplant caponata and the Olive Oil cake. I couldn't believe how moist and light the cake was. And even though I was stuffed I was so glad I saved room for this sweet treat. Order the Aperitivo Board. It gives you a little bit of everything and is a great starter to your

We made a reservation on Sunday for a party of 5 at 6pm which was quite easy to do online, and there was a lot of availability. We haven't had such luck in the past, so I do recommend making a reservation in advance. First thing's first, order paella as soon as you get seated, it took us about 40 minutes to get ours. Order it extra crispy if you want the rice nice and caramelized - some people think it's "burnt" that way, so make it clear what you expect! Our server was great - after he sat us down, he immediately asked if we wanted bread and olive oil, which is delicious especially when warm! Here's what we got: - Truffle sheep cheese - This was nice, but we preferred the default bread more as it was softer - Flank steak (chimicurri) - Just a nice steak - Patatas Bravas - Always good - Jamon and Manchego Croquetas - These were okay, ham flavor didn't come through - Paella Salvaje - Love this dish, didn't come out as crispy as I remembered it, so we'll have to order extra crispy next time - Olive oil cake - Our server's recommendation, was quite tasty! It's sweet, and the little bit of sea salt on top was a good touch. Just an observation, this place seems to be a popular date spot - we enjoyed guessing which couples were on their first date :P

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!

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.

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!
