Bcn Taste & Tradition

The ambiance and service immediately set a high standard, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere. The presentation of the food is visually stunning, each dish artfully arranged on the plate, capturing attention with its aesthetic appeal. However, when it comes to taste, the experience takes an unexpected turn. Despite the use of high-quality ingredients and excellent cuts of meat, the flavors don't quite live up to the visual promise. They're decent, but not remarkable. The textures and colors are impressive, but the taste doesn't follow through, leaving a bit of disappointment. The highlight, though, is the drink selection. The cocktails and wines are exceptional, elevating the overall dining experience. They complement the meal as best they can, adding a layer of satisfaction that the food alone doesn't quite achieve. This aspect nudges my rating of the food to a fair 4 out of 5, with the drinks enhancing the overall experience.

This is the best lamb & wine experience that I've ever had! The lamb was simmered perfectly, and this process gave it the perfect balance of flavor & moisture. The cuttlefish & rice were cooked incredibly well; the process gave them a good consistency in context and juicy flavor. The bomba rice was delicious. The desserts were well-balanced in sweetness, consistency, and taste. The gen & tonic combinations were especially effervescent & delicately crafted to give them a clean, berry-sweet taste.

Service was great. Pedro was the best part of out experience at BCN. The off menu 36 month jamon and tomato bread was one of the best plate of the night, the cochinillo and the fideua were lacking something. Off menu calamari was good. The papatas bravas are amazing order 3 orders at least. Flan was average.

Had a fantastic experience! Top service, and five star experience. Even though it is named after Barcelona, the vibe is more like Madrid. Charming converted home, that displays some of the owner’s private art collection. I left very impressed with the service staff, no only do they know the menu left and right, but they were very eloquent on the wine list and the art pieces in the room.

Edit: another day at BCN and we absolutely love it. Minimalistic interior design, calm, cozy atmosphere. Staff was friendly and patiently answered all of our questions. Lamp chop was a special addition, not on the menu. Though they said the it’s being added to the menu, amazing news because it’s a must try and you’ll never forget it. Pumpkin soup was too thick in my opinion and shell pasta appetizer was good but nothing special to say about it.

Great experience! Came here on a week night, and was pleased with most all things from start to finish. Knowledgeable waiters and very friendly service. Appetizers and desserts were the best parts of our meal. We especially enjoyed the grilled calamari in the avocado purée, and the cheese tray. Some of our mains were slightly over cooked (the lobster, and the steak particularly), but other than that, delicious. We sat outside on the patio which was a very pleasant atmosphere until the mosquitoes arrived, however when requested for bug spray, the staff returned in a few minutes with unused bottles of bug spray-they must’ve gone to the gas station to get it, which was exceptional service on their part. As we departed, one of our party members was very assertively and repeatedly asked to tip the valet, which the restaurant advertised via text to be complimentary. While it surely is good practice, it should remain voluntary to tip the valet, and that unfriendly experience unfortunately left a mark on our visit.
