This was a huge disappointment! We had New Years Eve dinner here. It was absolutely ridiculous! The ravioli appetizer was one ravioli in broth with some tator tots! The oyster appetizer was very taste, but it was one!! Dinner was so marginal. Very few meat option. A $15 bottle of wine for $64. A total bill of $300. And we didn't leave full. Never will we return!

I'm trying to figure out why this place has 4 out of 5 stars. Yes, this place has complimentary valet and pretty good cocktails but it was probably the worst hibachi restaurant I've been to in Atlanta so far. To start off with, the dining room was hot. I do understand that there's many grills and chefs cooking around us, but it was uncomfortably hot and stuffy. The chef had 2 huge hickies on his neck which are not professional at an upscale restaurant. If I were the manager there, he would've been sent home the minute he walked in the door. The food didn't help the situation. I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Hibachi with Scallops on the side. The soup tasted like plain broth. The salad dressing was supposed to be a ginger dressing but it tasted more like a bitter pepper dressing. The chef didn't talk to anyone at the table the entire time. Usually at hibachi restaurants, the chef is very interactive with the customers and making jokes, etc. It's one thing if he doesn't speak to anyone because he's concentrating on making the food amazing but it didn't taste good. The meat was overcooked and no seasoning was added besides salt and pepper and teriyaki sauce for the chicken only. I didn't even want to eat my scallops! They tasted bitter and the veggies were hard! The only reason I feel this place deserves 2 stars is because they handled the situation well after speaking with the manager about our experience. I sincerely appreciated the kind words of the manager and his understanding of what was going on at the table. I understand this restaurant is a chain but I wasn't expecting this low standard of cooking at all. I was extremely disappointed.

This place is crazy busy and really loud!!!, more like a club than a restaurant. Not good if you want conversation and a quiet dinner... always lively with people and music, definitely a place to be seen!. Guacamole table side a must have. The molten lava pots are different and definitely worth a try. The food was good if you can get past the noise level.

I went to Barcelona on a Saturday morning with two friends. I'd heard good things about Barcelona. So between that and the open spots on the patio, it seemed like the perfect place. And we weren't disappointed. We mostly ordered from the brunch menu (starting with a bloody mary for me and mimosas for my friends), but also got a few Spanish tapas classics (including a tortilla and some pan con tomate). Some of the best brunch tapas: mushrooms with herbed goat cheese, whipped sheep's milk cheese with pistachios and pimenton, and the eggplant caponata with basil, parsley, and chili. They also let us order the scrambled eggs with manchego off the kids menu (only $4!). All of the food barely fit on the table, but somehow we managed to finish it all, which is really the best review.

Wow love these hole in the wall places. The owner cooks, cleans (kinda), and takes your order. For under $5.00 you can have lunch and some great food. This is what I would do when I retire and have a great time doing it. Great Pizza. Class act, find this place when you travel.

Do yourself the biggest favor and stop in here. Small hole in the wall strip center and honestly the best peruvian chicken Ive tasted since I was at Pio Pio New York. Had half chicken, yucca, tostones, empanadas - wow enough left over for lunch. Super tasty food - friendly, prompt service. It was packed when I picked up my to go order. I will go back and check out more menu items. Not a tourist trap place at all :)
