    YE Gurl Says: A Lucky Find During Barcelona's Independent Restaurant Week Place:Barcelona (Independent Restaurant Week Find) Date: March 2026 Sometimes the best meals are the ones you didn't plan. A casual drop-in while exploring Barcelona turned into a full experience thanks to Independent Restaurant Weeks--and not just a few days... weeks. Now that's how you support your local restaurant scene. We happened upon a spot participating in the $45 prix-fixe menu, and without hesitation, we were in. Since we lean pescatarian/vegetarian, we navigated the menu accordingly--and honestly, the options held their own. First Course Options Included: * Gazpacho (chilled tomato, cucumber, olive oil) * Ensalada César with aged manchego and guajillo crouton * Sopa de Ajo (garlic soup with jamón, egg, saffron) Second Course Highlights: * Paella de Barcelona (classic mix with seafood and meats) * Paella Roja (beetroot sofrito, beans, cauliflower, fenugreek yogurt) * Salmon with leeks, olive tapenade, asparagus, mushrooms, crème fraîche * Chuleta (pork chop with a full composed plate) Dessert Options: * Tres Leches de Fresa (strawberry three milks cake) * Johnson's seasonal sorbet or ice cream * Plato de Quesos with figs, lavender honey, and rosemary crostini We opted for the pescatarian and veggie-friendly selections, and the standout for me was the Paella Roja--a creative, earthy twist that didn't feel like a compromise. Balanced, flavorful, and thoughtful. The structure of the meal was clean, no substitutions (respect), and paced in a way that let you actually enjoy each course without feeling rushed. YE Gurl says: Stumbling into Restaurant Week while traveling is a win every time--but Barcelona doing it for multiple weeks? Even better. It's a reminder that some of the best culinary experiences happen when you stay open, go local, and let the city surprise you.

    Had such a fun time at Barcelona w/ my friends. Ambiance on the patio was amazing, service is great, and the food was very creative! Loved the flavors, and tapas are a great way to try a lot of different things. Overall such a great experience & cannot wait to come back, another great GV spot!

    I honestly don't understand the hype surrounding Barcelona. While the space is beautiful, the food was mediocre at best. We started with the bread, which was served cold with cold marinara--hardly the warm, soft start you'd expect. We moved on to the shrimp, papas bravas, and cauliflower au gratin, and none of it hit the mark. The shrimp was fine but didn't justify the price or the small portion. Both the potatoes and the cauliflower were incredibly bland; I had to drench the potatoes in salt, and the cauliflower sauce felt like a plain cream sauce lacking any real spice or depth. Maybe it was just an off night, but for the price point and reputation, I expected much more flavor.

    If you're looking for great food, drinks and the perfect summer patio, you need to check out Barcelona! Their newly remodeled patio has all the vibes and you'll want to hang out there all night with a glass of sangria or wine! The service is excellent & professional, & the entire ambience of the place truly makes you feel like you're in Spain All of the tapas are great for sharing; the steak & shrimp were both so delicious! The Paella is a must! All of the different variations look and sound phenomenal, and the carne paella was incredible - go give them a try!

    Barcelona's interior is beautiful and so is its patio. For a lunch date, we sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful environment. The lunch menu has sandwiches w/sides that aren't available on the dinner menu, and we got two winners. The Sub de Costilla was excellent, and the Bocata was pretty good, too. We wanted to try the patatas bravas, so it was a pleasant sight to see them as a selectable side for our "Emparedados" (as the sandwiches were labeled on the menu). They had an interesting take on a Tres Leches cake, too. The cake wasn't as drenched as some other versions, but the core flavor was there. Finally, our server was great. The entire experience was great.

    I sat at the bar at Barcelona, and the bartenders were the best part of the experience. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I also had the best dirty martini I've ever had there. We ordered several tapas, including the Jamon y Queso, Empanadas, Coliflor Gratinado (which the bartender recommended), Camarones al Ajillo, and the Costillas. The cheese plate was good but I hate bread that breaks your teeth. The empanadas were very bready, crispy buttery delicious bread. But not much depth. The sauce was very good. The cheesy cauliflower was the standout and the only dish we finished completely. The shrimp was fresh but simple. The braised short rib was rich and flavorful, but heavy and I didn't find myself reaching back for more. Overall, the food was good but didn't stand out enough to bring me back for the same meal. The bar experience and service were excellent, and I've heard the patio is especially nice, which I'd consider trying in the future.

    Made a reservation to come by for dinner one evening. The drinks were good. I had window seat. Not that strong and not too sweet. Perfect! We shared the verde paella, filete de hierro plane, and the roasted vegetables. Portion sizes seem kinda small ish. Food seemed high quality but I wasn't impressed. Decent. Not the most flavorful. The paella was unique though. It was vegetarian and the beans added a nice texture to it. Staff was nice. He explained the menu and what was popular. My friend comes here all the time and told us to get the empanadas for next time. Really nice setting. It was a bit cold, otherwise it would've been nice to be out in the patio. Seems like a great place for wine. We mostly had cocktails but wine would pair really well with the dishes. We found parking almost a block down. Easy to find parallel spots around here.

    The most wonderful experience for our anniversary. Ethan was awesome. Super professional and friendly and thank you for the champagne! It has been years since we've been here and we were reminded after this visit we need to come back more often.

    My first time here and what an amazing place! They have happy hour at the bar only. And since it was a Friday rest assured there were no seats to be found. Hint: come early The service was good. No complaints at all. They are certainly doing something right since they have been here for a long long time. I am putting Barcelona on my places to return list. Outstanding food and decor.

    Amazing as usual. You want top end Spanish cuisine, this is it! Scallops Vieras has to be one of the top dishes in Columbus. I like that it's been on the menu for 25 years. 5* food and menu selection, service, environment, wine list. Any city would be proud to have a restaurant of this quality, and we have it here in Columbus.

    The patio is my favorite feature! The food was outstanding. Highly recommend checking it out before the weather changes! Reservations are a must! #Patio #Food #Reservations #Weather

    Red wine Sangria
    Ness S.

    Very good overall. Great service, lovely ambiance, and tasty food. The only reason to drop a star is that while the food was very tasty, every dish was very heavy -- starting with their bread, which was delicious but greasy to the touch. The short rib was fall of the bone delicious, but again the sauce was extremely creamy. The Barcelona paella was excellent and also the exception but it could have been helped with a touch more salt. Nonetheless, excellent meal and we look forward to returning.

    Our server was Ghadeer and she was very sweet, she helped us decide on what to eat and everything was delicious ! I recommend sitting on the patio great vibes :)

Graystone Cellars is a banquet venue in the Brewery District located in a limestone vault. (pretty cool, huh?!) They carry some local wines & their food menu looks delicious! Plenty of options from a la carte apps to dinner and apps to dinner, drinks, & apps, etc. For drinks, there are multiple options from sodas to wine/beer to wine/beer/spirits, to better spirits, you name it! Brian was responsive and the information packet he sent me had everything I would want to know (the food and drink options, venue pictures, cost, etc.). I asked if gratuity was included, and he confirmed it was added into all of the pricing. So, it was a really great option! I haven't reviewed places I haven't experienced, but we looked at quite a few venues, and I was really impressed by the quality of food and drinks, how beautiful the space was, and the price. It was the best venue option, in my opinion. So, I wanted to share! The only reason we didn't book Graystone is because one of my colleagues got too nervous about the little lead time we had & wanted something with live bar music for the younger folk, so he booked a grungy bar. The younger team wanted to karaoke (he didn't), and he knew that no one could karaoke if there was already live music & a venue available to the public, so here we are. Ha! Fingers crossed for next year.

    What a wonderful place for our rehearsal dinner. The food was phenomenal. Very gracious employees…read more Definitely recommend!

I am not sure if the venue supplied the decor or not, but the entirety of the venue, even down to structure of the actual building, is just really pretty. It's simple and has a rustic yet modern and clean farmhouse feel. Lots of greenery everywhere. The party lights strung all throughout the ceiling definitely added a very quaint and warm feel. I was surprised it only took the cocktail hour after the ceremony for the staff (of whom was very inconspicuous... I don't even remember barely noticing staff) to turn the room where the wedding took place, into the reception! With tables, linens, big grand center pieces... I mean... the works! HOW did they do that in 1 hour?! Anyways... everything was right in it's place. The ambiance to the venue was to die for and the entire evening seemed to flow so seamlessly. A+++ for the Vue!

Everything about this venue just made me love it like the rustic and artsy room. Perfect space to entertain guests.
