Reviews for Barcelona Wine Bar in Brookline, MA
Absolutely incredible experience here. Waitress was one of the best I?ve ever had and her suggestions were fantastic. Everything... we tried was delicious. Since it was our first time at the restaurant they gave us a free dessert. Also very affordable for thequality of food, service, and atmosphere they provide. Read more
Budget-friendly tapas place with great vibes and friendly service. My friend and I came here for a weekend brunch to try some... of their famous tapas. We came in with a reservation around their opening time, and got a great table inside. Since their menuchanges quite often, we weren?t sure what to order, but our server made some recommendations. Her service throughout the mealwas superb, and we ended up getting several tapas and a half mariscos to share. This wasn?t one of the upscale tapas placeswhere dishes are elegantly presented with complex flavor profiles. Instead, they brought classic tapas options with a slighttwist. While they had some unconventional tapas such as the truffled bikini and the potato tortilla, a lot of their menu weretapas classics. Truffled bikini was a clear standout, but we also enjoyed dipping the bread in the spicy olive oil from thegambas. On the other hand, the paella was slightly underwhelming. It was topped with a small amount of seafood, and itsseasoning wasn?t quite flattering. Nevertheless, our experience at the Barcelona Wine Bar was excellent. There weren?t anythingmind-blowing, but we left very satisfied. Read more
Our server was so sweet and funny, and she made the experience even that much better. Our drinks and food, including the... dessert, were so delicious! My friends and I didn't feel rushed at all, and all of our menu questions were answered by ourserver. It was a lovely experience and I will definitely like to come back again. Read more
Very nice experience! They have a great selection of wines, and a nice variety of charcutery and cheeses. I wouldn't recommend... the jamón serrano (it's just average quality, like the one you will find in most US restaurants), but the idiazabal and valdeoncheeses were great, and the bread is really good! I want to try their fuet and salsichon de vic next time, those should begood!! As for the tapas, the shishito peppers as a substitution of the traditional padrón peppers worked great, and thepatatas bravas are pretty authentic. But my favorite was by far the chorizo with sweet and sour figs, totally must try! Thegambas al ajillo were ok too. Overall a nice experience, we'll come back! Read more
This was one of my favorite meals while visiting Boston. My favorite tapas were the croquettas and the ricotta. In my opinion I... didn?t get any truffle in the truffle bikini, but it was still really good. The meatballs and patatas bravas were average, butI?m not a huge fan of either usually so I may not be the best judge. The paella though? we got a half order of the vegetable,and it was SO good, I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Honestly the whole reason I?m giving 5 stars. Flavorful, crispybottom, I?m still dreaming about it. I also got the rose sangria, and it was super light, fresh, and not too sweet, which I waspleasantly surprised by. Overall we got 6 tapas and the 1/2 paella split between 4 of us, and it was the perfect amount in myopinion. Would definitely come back. Read more
I went for my 21st birthday and had an amazing time. They gave free dessert and sang, and all the dishes were phenomenal.... Everything was well seasoned and thoroughly salted. Our favorites were the croquettes, the patatas bravas and the olive oilcake! Read more

Great food, good ambience and excellent service from your new server, Amy H! Amy was very polite, smiley, helpful and extremely... attentive. When she heard that my daughter has nuts allergy, she took the initiative to check with the kitchen and put a checkmark next to all the menu the items we should avoid and items that we could order without having to worry about crosscontamination. We were all wowed by her attentiveness! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back soon. Read more
