Barceluna Cafe - Alameda

The food is great, but I was treated horribly by one of the managers. I went to the restaurant for a to-go order on a Friday at 7pm, but my request was refused. The host said they wouldn't do it. I then talked to the manager, but when I politely tried to reason with him, he pushed me out of the restaurant and yelled me to go. Their excuse was that one time a client complained his delivery wasn't good, and after that, the kitchen staff would refuse takeout orders. I will never eat there again!

Its was really good but the martinis were a little too watery with chewy olives. The burger is fantastic, as is the cauliflower. The service was top notch.

Cute location with indoor and outdoor seating. While it's long and narrow, it's pretty spacious. Be prepared to have your proof of vaccination ready when you check in with the host/ess. Highlights The cornbread tastes like home. The honey butter takes it up a notch. The roasted cauliflower is perfectly cooked and topped with garlic. You'll gum or mints after eating this. the grits are just mm mm mmm. Thick, creamy and cheesy. Get them and don't question it. The brownie with peanut butter whipped cream is just WOW. It's warm, chocolatey, and decadent without being too dense. I would eat this every day if I could. Our server Annie was very knowledgeable of the menu, helpful, and friendly. We plan to go back very soon.

First time here. Sat at the bar. Food was amazing. Drinks were nice. Will be back! Found this place randomly on Yelp. The place seems cute for a date night or solo dining.

Quick Summary Great ambience for a date, a casual night out with friends, or just a weeknight dinner. Nice upstairs waiting area where you can get drinks while you wait to be seated. Good service and good food! Truffle Fries: Crispy, fluffy fries and really good truffle flavor too! It's a bit pricey, but worth a try. Chicken and Grits: Honestly, I wasn't expecting to like this so much, but I REALLY enjoyed this. Super tender chicken served with an amazing gravy, Parmesan ? grits and some veggies on the side. I didn't find it too heavy, which was clear from my plate which was absolutely scraped clean. I'd come back for this dish alone, although I don't remember it always being available.
