My second time coming here. I went during lunch/brunch on a Sunday. Atmosphere was loud but not too loud, they sat me at a booth in the bar, I guees because I was by myself. I got several dishes. I got one that I don't remember what it was called but was part of the brunch with a sunny side up egg on top. It was delicious. You can see my picture. I also got the red pepper hummus, which was ok, a little too salty for me. I also got the jamon croquettes very delicious and I loved the fresh bread and olive oil with herbs. Overall very good. I will come back with more people next time so I can try more items!! read more

Came for a late happy hour / early dinner and the place was packed! We had to wait around until a spot opened up at the bar and squeezed in. It was worth the wait though. The vibe here is happening from the people to the music to the ambiance. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to munch on and everything was tasty. My favorite was the truffle sheep's cheese. I was hesitant when I read sheep's cheese, but it was surprisingly delicious! Would recommend ordering a bunch of different tapas and sharing everything. read more

Delicious tapas and great vibes! Visited many time for birthdays and catch ups. Service was average for the most part but the food/vibes are something I'd go back to again with friends. read more

This is the perfect place to go if you are meeting up with a group and want to try many items. This isn't a place to bring a picky eater. I went here with coworkers and it was fun sampling foods I wouldn't try by myself. The servers were attentive and nice l, making us feel as if we were hanging out at one of our houses. read more

5/5! Decided to visit RTC for lunch and try a restaurant I've never had before. Barcelona had very good reviews, so I decided to stop by and give it a shot! I can say, this is one of the best restaurants in the town center! The restaurant is known for their Tapas, but they do have larger dishes as well. The Food: With this place being known for their tapas, I went with a few to try out for my first time. I went with the Albondigas, Lobster Risotto, Patatas Bravas, Jamon & Manchego Croquettas and the Paella Mariscos (Half). All of the tapas were delicious in their own way, from the flavor and how well they were cooked. My favorite was the Lobster Risotto and the Paella Mariscos! The Service: The service was great! The staff were attentive and kind when greeting my party. And, orders were out to us within a timely manner. The Atmosphere: The atmosphere was very nice! Nicely decorated inside giving you a nice modern and authentic feel. Plenty of seating with tables and the bar area looked nice as well. Overall, a 5/5! If you love a good tapas place, this is the spot to go. And if you've never had tapas before, you can't go wrong with starting here! read more

Just visited this restaurant with a friend and absolutely loved it. I've been to the DC branch of this restaurant many years ago. We were here for and early lunch and found the service and ambiance to be amazing. Here is what we ordered: - Patatas Bravas: this was delicious. My absolute favorite thing at the restaurant. Perfectly seasoned and flavored. - Cauliflower: another amazing thing on the menu. - Spinach and chickpeas cazuela: I wasn't a fan of this dish. It just didn't taste very good. It was just cooked spinach with chickpeas mixed in. - Pancakes: this was so good. Loved it. Overall, a great vibe to chill and have a good time with friends. And the food was delicious. read more

Barcelona Wine Bar - Devoured arroz con leche - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Poor service food was overcooked will not return. Staff was very disorganized Had reservations and table was incorrect for the group size

A very up scale restaurant. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. The staff waited on us immediately. The server was at our table within 3 minutes of us being seat. He went out the menu and gave us the wait time for each area of the menu. We received hot bread and olive oil, which was delicious. The Potato Tortilla was full of flavor, you can distinguish the taste between the potatoes and the onions. We ordered the Parillada Barcelona which comes with Strip Steak, Chicken, Pork Loin, and Gaucho Sausage. This feed four people. The Gaucho Sausage tasted like bratwurst from Germany. Only one thing we sent back was the Chicken, we felt like it needed to be cooked longer. read more

As always, Barcelona did an amazing job with our corporate event in Reston! Cannot say enough about the presentation and quality of the food, friendliness of the staff, and wonderful location! Just a terrific evening! read more

Been to this location a bunch of times since moving to the DMV. It's pretty out of the way to travel to Reston- truth be told, the DC one is far closer for me. But being able to park easily is a winner. Last time I was here was over the past weekend- we ordered about 6 dishes and had 2-3 glasses of wine each. The atmosphere is what draws me to this place- the large but very cozy bar with knowledgeable and friendly bartenders, with a rustic finishing touch here and there- makes for a great casual date night. The food is also great- a bit pricey for what it is but still worth it when considering the totality of experiences. The eggplant caponata is my favorite- goes so well with their house bread! All the other dishes I've tried have been lovely but I wouldn't get the boring green beans again. read more

Lily at Barcelona Wine Bar in Reston was amazing! I have several allergies and cross contamination is a big concern for me, but she was super attentive, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable the whole time. She double-checked everything and was so kind about it. Honestly made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Also the food was fantastic! read more

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. read more

Came here for an early dinner with friends and the placed was packed. I highly recommend a reservation as this place is very busy. We started with a few drinks before the full party arrived. The bartender was nice and quick with the drink. Since this was the first time trying this place, we started slow and ordered a few tapas to gauge how much food each plate was. We started off with patatas bravas, sautéed spinach and chickpeas, chicken croquettes, and spiced beef empenadas, and brussel sprouts. Everything was good besides the potatoes. We also ordered the paella salvaje which takes about 45 minutes after you order it to arrive so that was the first thing we put in. After the first round of tapas, we ordered a few more plates. Lobster croquettes, flank steak, and short rib. We finished with the cheesecake and flan. The cheesecake was really good. Flan was meh. I'd say the star of the show was the paella. It had tons of flavor and I would have eaten more if I had anymore room in my belly. As the clock hit 7:00pm, the lights got dim and music started blasting. We realized the place had tons of folks waiting for a table and this was peak hours. We felt a bit rushed towards the end as they had tables to fill. We ordered a lot of food and drinks and were still finishing our drinks and dessert. They started to clear our table and thats when we knew we should leave. read more

I love going to Barcelona with a group of friends so we can try a variety of tapas. Located in Reston Town Center, this restaurant is pretty popular and gets quite crowded at peak hours. Despite that, the service has always been great for me and the tapas come out quickly. They have a wide range of tapas, but I also like to order the paella (my favorite is the mariscos/seafood one) to share. The paella portions are huge - we had leftovers for the next day. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Every time I come to Barcelona, I have a great time. Our server, Angie, was fantastic. She made recommendations, was knowledgeable of the menu, and dealt with multiple large parties while managing to check in on us consistently. A lot of the plates here are saltier, I would recommend the labneh for a light break between everything else. The sangria pitchers are a steal (the rose is my favorite). Very few things on the menu are a miss and I would highly recommend coming here! read more

Likely an industry and locals standard for exceptional service in providing hospitality for wine, cocktail, and tapas enthusiasts. Excellent by every metric. While I consider it my job to discern and proffer quibbles, I possess none for this establishment asides from it often being too loud; and not having a nightclub partition. Perfect venue for such. read more

Barcelona Wine Bar - A very beautiful drink which I cannot remember the specifics of - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Reston, Virginia

This place was absolutely delicious! I love tapas style restaurants so I can try as many things as possible! The serving size for each dish was perfect for sharing for 3-4 people. Our server was very nice and even took care of us when I accidentally spilled wine on our charcuterie board. He replaced the board for us right away and helps us clean the table up a bit! Our favorite plates of the night were the crispy Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and pulpo arancini For the charcuterie we all really enjoyed the jamon Serrano, aged Mahon, and Delice de Bourgogne. The deluxe de Bourgogne is similar to an extra creamy Brie and it was amazing. Overall great vibe, great food, and nice service! read more

Barcelona is one of my absolute favorite places in the DMV. Coming from CT and going to barcelona locations for the last 16 years it is definitely my favorite place to come for not just for the incredible delicious food but the fun, sexy and beautiful ambiance. Go for a romantic date night and sit by the bar or for a fun girls night or couples night out. Make it extra special and ask for the chefs table and be served by chef Christine who is incredible! Wanna be served ask for Sebastian! Food recommendations: #1 chorizo & Fig #2 Croquettes #3 potato bravas and anything else will be amazing! The seasonal specials are always a great choice as well. Not to forget! The red sangria is one of the best ones you will ever have! I promise read more

We ended up stumbling upon Barcelona reston one night while we were stuck in the area because of a cancelled flight. It was a great location to grab a quick bite and the food was delicious and the service was extremely friendly and helpful. Barcelona reston has a decent amount of seats both inside and outside and we were able to walk in on a Monday night and get seated inside with no problem even though it was pretty busy. We ended up splitting 4 tapas and the kitchen even sent out one complimentary tapa to our table. We also ordered a round of mock tails and they were well balanced and crafted with a lot of flavor. read more

I have heard wonderful things about Barcelona Wine Bar and finally had the chance to try it. When we arrived we were welcomed by friendly staff and seated right away without reservations. The ambiance was moody/hip and really impressed me while also setting the stage for the delicious food and drinks we were about to have! For drinks, we started off with the bourbon spice rack and summer street sling. It was clear that they care about quality drinks and have quite talented/knowledgeable bartenders. Both cocktails were delicious with the bourbon spice rack being our favorite. We then moved onto some bubbly and dove into numerous small plates. All of the food was phenomenal. The pork belly literally melted in our mouths and the flank steak had a great citrus flavor. The pollo pintxo was super tender from the yogurt marinade and the dill aioli was tasty. The mussels were yummy and unique. I feel like most places focus on garlic with their mussels but Barcelona did an incredible job by adding a next level of flavor with sofrito. Our other favorites were the patatas bravas (garlic aioli so good you may want to drink it) and brussel sprouts. We wanted to enjoy the glazed sweet potato but all agreed they were entirely too sweet. I think the only con that really stood out to me was the eagerness of wait staff to take our plates when they were often times not finished. With such small portions and prices as they are, I think this could be improved upon. read more

I love this place. The food is magnificent, and the service consistently goes above and beyond. Everyone is friendly, and I've never had a bad experience. The music and ambiance are always very pleasant. I've been coming here for a couple of years now--for business meetings, dates, and even when I want to be alone and enjoy myself. However, I've noticed that every single time I come here, even if the host or server clearly speaks Spanish, they won't respond in Spanish when greeted in Spanish. I find this ironic, considering this is a Spanish/Catalan restaurant. I'm not sure if it's due to a lack of cultural intelligence, classism, or linguistic discrimination, but I do find it very curious. read more

I enjoy the food here! They have many small plates to choose from. You gotta try the patatas bravas - crispy potatoes, umami garlic aioli sauce, and a pretty good portion size (I think it could adequately feed 3-4 people). I think the seafood paella is worth trying if you haven't tried it before! The paellas take longer to come out than the tapas which are relatively quick. Complimentary bread and olive oil are also given with the meal. I think it might depend which area you're seated in but the vibes of the right side of the restaurant are low lighting, crowded, and loud (even on a week night). The servers were all very nice and helpful. If you're looking for a more elevated meal than your typical, try coming here! read more

Top Spanish food in Northern Virginia. Best seafood paella. One of the best tapas in Serrano ham with Manchego cheese with crusty bread from Spain. Top sangria. I tend to like the red sangria. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came for Sunday brunch with a group. Surprisingly, at noon, we were only 2 tables in the restaurant. The restaurant began to fill around 1, so if you don't want a crowd, go early. The tapas were all delicious per usual. Our server Cole was so friendly, attentive, and suggested we try the olive oil cake - which turned out to be amazing (and it's warm!) The DC Barcelona locations really have a lot to learn from Reston. All-around experience is always good here and consistent. Don't forget, parking is free on weekends and after 5 at Reston town center! read more

Great selection of Spanish wine. Nice food menu. Ambience was modern, upbeat and fun.

Love the tapas here! We went for Mother's Day dinner and had great service from our server. The bread basket was never empty! The sheep's cheese was a must try on the menu, although I think it's different than what we had in the past before. The albondigas and broccolini are also going to be a must get the next time we come here! We got the non-seafood paella and it was very good! Always excited to come here and try new tapas and love the ambiance of the place. I have not tried out any of the wines yet but the white and red sangria are delicious. read more

Delicious food and sangria. I love going here for the vibe. The tapas aren't my favorite. Have an open mind when looking at the menu if you're not used to mixing flavors or trying new things. If you do anything before coming here you should MAKE A RESERVATION. Theres still a wait time with having a reservation so I can't imagine what it's like without one. read more

Barcelona Wine Bar - Paella - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Great dining experience, spectacular service!! Everything we ate was great!!! Starting with the Paella, loaded with calamari, mussels, clams and shrimp, it was cooked to perfection, especially the rice, it was so flavorful and had that touch of "spelling". socarrat, the crunchy rice at the bottom of the pan. We tried the albondigas meatballs, the croquettes with potatoes and jamon ham on top of an aioli to die for. We also had shrimp ajilo (garlic shrimp) my wife's favorite, and Chimichurri flank steak, tender cuts of meat with their chimichurri sauce. My favorite the beef empanadas we ordered these multiple times! We also tried the patatas bravas awesome, and they had that delicious aioli also! We finished with the lomo iberico ham, very tasty. For dessert we order the arroz con leche rice pudding, corn panacotta, and the burnt basque cheesecake, tasty but not the best. Overall a great dining experience, took off a star for two reasons, the desserts weren't so special, and their A/C wasn't working and hasn't been working for a while! Would definitely return, but the A/C better be working! read more

This was such a fun, Spanish restaurant and bar! I highly recommend checking out Barcelona Reston if in the Reston Town Center for delicious eats and a lively vibe. We came here on a Friday night and the place was packed, which was no surprise after our experience here. They do take reservations, which is nice, and I highly recommend doing so if coming here on a weekend. We were in the bar area, which was super fun, as they played old school hip hop and everyone was dancing in their chair and singing along. Love these kind of places, where everyone seems to be having fun! For the five of us, we all shared a bunch of tapas and tried the cocktails. Everything was outstanding! We ordered the grilled hangar steak, albondigas, roasted cauliflower, truffled bikini grilled, whipped sheep's cheese, bacon-wrapped dates, jamon and manchego croquetas and the spiced beef empanadas. NOMSSSS! I loved everything we ordered, as all items had a lot of flavor. We had to repeat some of the tapas because it was so delicious. Of all the tapas, I would say the whipped sheep's cheese was my favorite. I loved how light the cheese was, but it had a truffle honey that was drizzled on it, which was perfection. Eat this as a tapa or dessert. You can't go wrong. So glad to have discovered Barcelona! I had a blast here, given the lively atmosphere and crowd and delicious eats and cocktails. Service was speedy and friendly, despite how busy it was. No complaints. Anytime I'm back in the area, I have to pay Barcelona another visit. read more

WOW THE FLAVORS OF THE TAPAS! Fantastic food and excellent wine selection! We tried three different non-domestic whites and all were tasty. First, they bring you a high quality evoo with yummy rustic bread to dip. We ordered the truffle honey goat cheese and it was AMAZING. Our close second fave was the chimichurri steak, tender and delicious. The duck medallions were cooked perfectly rare. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance is interesting, inviting and cozy. Our fave spot so far! read more

Went during brunch, the steak and eggs are very tasty; I am not much for eating eggs while dining out but the egg was delicious, cooked seasoned perfectly. Enjoyed the Guns and Roses sangria, the jam on the charcuterie was very tasty as well. The olive oil pancakes and lamb chops were tasty too, just wished there was one more chop to plate.

Seriously good food, great service, and cool atmosphere. We came here as a group from work for dinner and ended up getting the chef tasting menu due to the size we had. There were so many tapas, many of which would have never been ordered if we all ordered 2-3 individually. The highlights for me were the labineh, pork belly, bone marrow, and marinated beef. The beet salad and burrata were also very good and a well needed break from protein. We had the meat paella and it was amazing, the crisp on the pan was perfect and the flavors were perfect. The service staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and is pretty large overall. Definitely come here with an appetite and don't be afraid to try something new, everything is delicious! read more

Dinner here is not great. While the food was delicious, the service was so bad that they forgot half of our order and was not apologetic about it. Our server asked if we were ready for dessert, and when we mentioned that we were still waiting on the rest of our dishes, they brought it all out at once and it was cold. It was probably just sitting somewhere in the kitchen, left unattended. Overall, the service was slow, unattentive, and I didn't enjoy the lack of care in their service. I wouldn't come back for dinner, which is a bummer because I prefer their dinner menu. The food is not worth the wait/neglect from the staff. read more
