Barcelona Restaurant-Wine Bar

G H

During our short stay in Albany we decided to visit the Barcelona Restaurant. From the very first step in to our leave everything was great. The hostess and our waitress were very sweet, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was big in portions and delicious. The atmosphere itself was really amazing too. It is a bit on pricey side, but the whole experience worth it. If I were in the area, would definitely come back.

Everything was perfect out on the rooftop deck! It was a brisk, end of the first nice Saturday of spring, evening and there were two servers for about six people outside, so my needs were well taken care of... And the chill kept my excellent martini, just the way I like it! The menu was tempting all the way around, as was the wine list. I settled for the filet, that was served with a deliciously thick pan sauce and a bottle of wonderful Spanish Rioja. The wine came to the table, right along with a few crusty warm rolls wrapped up in a basket. So good with the oil and herbs and a nice salad of mixed greens. Wow! Then the filet was served and the meal was nearly perfect. My filet was a touch overcooked (the high end of medium, instead of medium rare), but the time it took to make this pan sauce paid off and the meal was perfect. So perfect, I decided to order the coconut flan for desert! It is a Spanish restaurant after all. It did not disappoint. With dollops of whipped cream and a wonderful sauce, I'm in heaven. The bottle was nicely packaged for the trip home and the evening was a perfect welcoming of summer warmth and fun. Thanks for a wonderful evening Barcelona! * <-- here's your 5th star! If you are wondering what to do for this star, get the second floor, outdoor deck, stabilized, so that something terrible doesn't happen. That entire structure was weather weary and creaking 'n moving like no tomorrow! The railings, I don't believe, would take the impact of a man stumbling... I'm sure this project was already on your list. Thank you again, the fresh air out there on the deck, is perfect.

I ordered the clams appetizer and had the salmon veracruz for dinner! I enjoyed everything especially the toast points with the clams.

This place has just become my favorite restaurant in Albany. I’m Ukrainian so seeing the spinach white bean topping on my salmon reminded me of my childhood. Very traditional European style! The serve/bartender was the sweetest woman ever and she made the best sangria martinis!! I will be back soon!!!!
