This is one of our "go to" places, and we went last night. We have never had a bad meal here, and have tried many things on the menu. There is a Spanish theme (paella is on the menu), however there is a wide variety of choices including vegan and vegetarian. It is small, and maybe a bit cramped, but... More

The food here is top notch. I've been here twice in the past two weeks. Try the Talapia Perez (a signature dish created by the owners). You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. There's a second floor patio in the summertime too! Dinner, drinks, appetizers, and desert will definitely be in the vacinity of $140.00

I found this restaurant while passing thru Albany. The full service bar was stocked with great tasting wines. The seafood paella was thoroughly enjoyed by my wife. I ordered red snapper with tomatoes & olives on saffron rice. The only negatives were the wine prices are all at least $7 and our waiter forgot us for about 10 minutes when... More

Swordfish Putanesca was excellent. Service friendly, attentive and prompt. The wine list, though not extensive is solid and moderately priced. This is a definite "Return To."

Our dinner at Barcelona's was excellent, atmosphere was warm, service was perfect. Great time. Would highly recommend this for any occasion. Park on the street if it is an option, lot is very small. Handled our extra person with no problem.

This is the way tapas is supposed to be. There's a wide range of choices for every palate, the staff is excellent, and the wine is 50% off on Sundays. I love restaurants where they relly appreciate your business, and this place is always welcoming.

Overall, I enjoy this restaurante very much. My family and I are regulars and I have to say this is my favorite restaurant in the capital region. Food is always great and prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. Only complaint is that I wish it were bigger.
