Barcelona
Spanish Cuisine
This place is really good. We liked the atmosphere. It wasn't too loud or to quite and its located in German Village, in Columbus, Ohio.
Fresh Sour Dough Bread w/ Olive Oil and Tomato Puree
Amuse-bouche
(Single Bite horsd'oeurvre)
Buttery Seared Scallop with piquillo peppers
Tapas Menu
(Small Plates)
Top: Asparagus wrapped in Serrano with a lemon thyme aioli.
Left: Potato Chips w/ Fried chorizo and blue cheese dip
Right: Manchego Cheese, Marcona almonds, quince paste and olive oil crackers.
(They were all good but the last one was the best)
Tapas Entrees
(Small Plates)
Left: Shrimp w/ chorizo and basque peppers
Top Left: Grilled Scallop, blackberry coulis, grilled tomato and candied bacon
Top Right: Brasied short ribs, grilled baquette, piquillo peppers, caramelized onions and garlic aioli.
Right: Steamed mussels w/ tomatoes, capers and shallots
On this course the braised short rib was the best. The scallop was so buttery it just melted in your mouth. The shrimp was a tad over cooked but the flavors was great. Again the mussels had a great flavor however where a bit sandy. (I dont like crunchy mussels)
Entrees
Kevin's Entree
Garlic Mashed Potatoes- The best I ever had.
Filet Mignon- Tender, Juicy, Seasoned Nicely.
Grilled Asparagus- Perfectly cook, seasoned well.
Chimichurri (on top of steak) could have been a bit smoother, I thought it was chopped a bit course, but had all the right flavors.
Jamie's Entree
Seared Sea Scallops- Buttery goodness, whoever works the fish station at Barcelona knows how.
Topped with a dates, baby lima beams, bacon and some other amazing stuff. The sauce was one of the best things we ate all day. I have no idea what all was in it. Jamie talked about licking the plate clean but decided against it.
Dessert
Tres Leche Cake
with a Raspberry Sauce and a crunchy granola topping. Yum.
By this time we were both so full that we decided to split a dessert it was well worth it.
Over all I would go back to Barcelona. The service was one of the best I have ever had. The food was good and it is located in a beautiful part of Columbus. What more can you ask for.
