Was there last night. Jen at the Bar was a sweetheart..... The food was really great. We had the Greens salad (small portion I thought), the Gnocci, the Garganelli pasta, and the Hangar Steak Frites with Chimichurri Sauce. Nidia, the Owner and Kevin, the Chef came over and talked to us for a while... Really nice people. We will definitely be back - frequently..... My only suggestion is the pricing doesnt seem to make sense to me..... I think its great that all the entrees are $12 to $20 to attract cost conscious diner's but the appetizer prices, which are all from $10 - $15 are too high if thats the case and will scare people away. I would think they would want to sell lots of appetizers to build the check, and cost conscious people may not want to spend $12 or $14 for an appetizer. Price the appetizers from $7 to $10. If you dont care about attracting cost conscious people, then keep the appetizer prices high and raise the entree prices (not what I am recommending in this economy) I LOVE Barcel!!!!
