Barcelona Wine Bar and Restaurant

I haven't been to Barcelona in about a year I want to say so my friends and I were beyond confused trying to find it. Bartaco had taken over the space in front. Barcelona's entrance is a little side path way next to bartaco completely hidden from the street. Strange way to remodel? CT currently is in a crazy heat wave. My girlfriends and I decided to grab a cold drink around 8PM with it being 90 degrees outside at this time. MY GOD was it HOTTTT inside! It was so hot we would of rather just sat outside! I felt horrible for the servers that had to run around in long sleeves. We didn't stay longer than an hour to just finish a drink and get out of there.

We asked why the air was on low or just wasn't on at all and the server stated this is how it is every summer and this was the worse one of them all. :/  with the heat wave. Seriously ever single summer it feels like  H E double hockey sticks in that place?? Jeez. With the remodeling they have continuously kept up with you would think a light bulb would come up and have someone re-do the air vents or something. Ughh.. Will not be back anytime this summer  unless I just got out of the gym and wish to sit in the sauna to help my muscles relax. Ill see you again in the winter Barcelona.

Really this place is 4.5 stars. The service is so good and their knowledge of wine is VAST to say the least. They know how to pair everything perfectly for your meal. The food is amazing and small plates leave me full of glee as always. Their mussels el diablo is some of the best around. I also love their cheese selection. This is always a delightful treat for my husband and I. We always dream of going back for more..and then we do! :)

Went to Barcelona on a Saturday night with 3 of my friends. I would recommend making reservations, it was packed.
We shared a whole bunch of plates, which is the way to go. Everything was absolutely delicious! We figured odds were at least one plate wouldn't be great...but boy were we wrong. There wasn't one thing we didn't like! I can't remember everything we had, but the highlights were:

-Beets with walnuts and gorgonzola
-Seafood ceviche
-Pork belly and eggs ("bacon" and eggs)
-Steak with black truffle sauce (yummm wish I could put this sauce on everything!)
-Foie gras
-Chorizo w/ figs

The service was excellent as well. Definitely going back.
