I have been wanting to go to Bar Celona for while but it took a while to convince my husband to go. We finally went to Bar Celona for the first time last night and I have to say that I am so glad I did. First off, the decor and ambiance is lively, festive and yet modern. Since tapas are for sharing, there were a lot of big groups but there were also an equal number of couples there also, so a nice place for a date. Our waiter was fairly prompt with our order. I had a red sangria to drink and it was so delicious! The tapas we had were lamb empanadas, crab croquettes, albondigas (to die for!) and a tapas sampler, which came with two empanadas, grilled shrimp, a torta and mushrooms. I can't say anything bad about any of the tapas we had - they were all good! Plus, the olive tapanade they give you to start off with was the best tapanade I've ever had anywhere. To finish it off, we both had dessert. I had the flan, which was so dense and caramelly - really superb! My husband had the chocolate and banana crepe, which he liked a lot. Overall, I had a really nice time there. The only complaint might be that my husband didn't get particularly full by the food that we had, although we spent close to $100 there.
