We started off with some cocktails…read morethat were delicious, but I must note that our server forgot about our drinks...well, I think she did. She said the bar was really busy - but they arrived shortly after we asked about them. The second round was much faster - and they sent complimentary shots to the table. So, you decide. Food: Starters: - Tomato bread, YUM! - Chicken croquet (my favorite) - Scallops (we all decided we could have done without) - Tacos (very juicy). I wish I took a picture of the menu, I don't recall what each dish was, but these are my best guesses. Main course: - Octopus (cooked perfectly!) - Steak (a little raw for my taste, but the potatoes and sauce it came with were great!) - Chicken something in a potato pasta or something like that (skip, too bland) Dessert: We had to get the sorbet in the shape of the succulent. I was very refreshing and better than i expected. The servers made up for the forgotten drinks and were very kind and even gave us recommendations of places to go out that evening. I would definitely go back!

We sat upstairs with a large party and had plenty of space. Our recommender said the food was phenomenal, but I personally found it to be just pretty good. I ordered the Thai vegetarian curry which was very good but salty. A decent amount of vegetables but much more rice than actual curry. My one friend who ordered a dish (which the name of unfortunately escapes me) with prawns, beans, and chorizo also shared this sentiment. Other dishes that received good reviews from the table included a cheese platter, the cactus dessert (mojito mousse and lemon sorbet), the fish of the day (which was cod), and the mushroom risotto. We also ordered a bottle of Cava Montjuic, which tasted similar to many other sparkling white wines. One problem to note was that we were not alerted that the fish of the day had clams atop it, which posed a problem for the recipient of the dish who has a shellfish allergy. The staff was polite and understanding, though she did just have to order and pay for another dish. Overall, nice atmosphere and good food, but not as great as expected.

Every single dish my friend and I ordered was incredible from the crispy patatas bravas and rich tortilla de patata to the perfectly cooked octopus and melt in your mouth Iberian pork cheek. I also started the night with a mango mojito that was dangerously good. The service was attentive and friendly from the moment we walked in, and the restaurant itself has such a warm rustic atmosphere with low calming lighting that makes you want to sit there all night ordering "just one more plate." One thing I will say: Please make a reservation or you will be left outside looking goofy! This place stays packed and you will probably not get a table without one. All in all, RAÓ hands down provided one of my favorite dining experiences in Barcelona.

After thirteen hours of touring, I needed a good meal. When I'm traveling, I always save the biggest meal for dinner. I read the reviews of Dune and saw some great photos of various meals. I was in the mood for tapas and salad and some vino. I stepped inside and was greeted warmly. I was offered bar seating or table. I chose a table and my waiter was cheerful and handed me the menu in English. I saw this tapa reviewed on Yelp: Bomba de salmon: a croquette shaped like a ball stuffed with salmon and cheese. I didn't see it on the menu so I decided to still eat like a Catalan and ordered the Paella special with sangria and mozzarella/ tomato salad drizzled with oil and oregano. After he took my order, my waiter served me iced water and amuse bouche: Spanish olives with red peppers. The olives were delicious. My salad was dynamite: every morsel had a great combo of cherry tomatoes with cubed bites of mozzarella and oregano. My paella came out in a cazuel dish: I asked him to replace mussels with more shrimp. The shrimps were sitting on a hot bed of yellow rice. I had to peel the skin into a bowl. The shrimps were meaty however the rice portion tasted a wee bit fishy. I've had many versions of paella and never had a fishy taste. Maybe the mussels are cooked with rice and that's why there was a fishy taste? Not sure... the portion was very filling. ?The Red sangria that accompanied the meal was sweet and delicious. I then decided to try the flan de la casa but they were out. My waiter recommended this glass of tiramisu ice cream with caramel drizzle. Out of this world! He then asked me if I wanted a flavored liquor in the house. I chose the coffee flavored: tasted like sambucca. The menu has a nice variety of dishes like crispy chicken with sweet potato sticks, steak and salads. There are mixed plates and combos to choose from. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The diners near me were eating potato braves with croquettes in a spicy sauce. I made small talk with my waiter who is also a chef and vowed to come back. A great meal!

We came to Barcelona excited to eat tapas, drink sangrias and cava, and have all the octopus we could stand, since that's one of the things they are known for here. We passed up Soma and came to Seasons because they had great reviews and offered octopus, and tomato bread on the menu. Although pricey ($22 for a tapas portion of octopus), we waited with anticipation as they brought our food to our table. The tomato bread was the worst we've had at any restaurant we've eaten at so far and the octopus, well it was so tough they brought a sharper steak knife to our table to cut it after we had eaten a portion of it. Not sure if they did this after seeing our struggle to cut it with the standard knife they bring with the meal. After an unexpected jaw workout of the toughest octopus possibly possible, we gave up after eating just half of it. I hate leaving bad reviews but didn't want any other unsuspecting travelers to stumble on this place with great expectations only to be disappointed after spending way more on food and drinks than the other local restaurants charge in the area.

Talk about delicious! This was my first meal during my trip to Barcelona and it did not disappoint…read more Wine and tapas, Bae! Because you know you gotta get some of that when you're in Spain. I'm here to tell you that the tapas were tapa-ing hardcore. They were simply scrumptious! Saw this place during my walk down Rambla de Catalunya. It's perfectly tucked right in the heart of the busy street, and they have a lovely patio area that's right in the thick of it all. Unfortunately, the patio was full and busy, so I opted for a table inside. Definitely wasn't a bad choice. Their interior is so cute and cozy! The Spanish bodega vibes were swarming all over the place. I just loved it. I've learned that the service element in Spain is generally very different from the US. In saying this; don't expect to be wowed by the service here. But the tapas are truly scrumptious! I enjoyed the followed tapas: Grilled prawns - Geeeezuuus! These were mouthwatering! I grew up eating prawns without the heads and skins on, but now I understand why they keep them on here. The prawn heads preserve all of the juiciness and flavors. These were cooked and seasoned perfectly and I could not get enough. Fried potatoes - Amazing! I've had these at Spanish restaurants in the US, but there really IS a difference in the way that they're prepared here. The crispiness is just delightful, but it's the sauces that really did it for me. Not sure what kind of sauces were used (one red and one white) but they added a beautiful taste to these already yummy potatoes. Meat croquettes - Scrumptious! These croquettes have a mix of minced meats inside that are so tender and flavorful. And the breading is absolutely perfect. They paired perfectly with my wine too. Speaking of wine; the Spanish red wine that I had was dynamite! Can't comment on the specific varietal but it was so smooth and silky. I meeeaan... dinner was delicious!!! They set the bar pretty high for the restaurants that followed. Although the service wasn't the best, the wine and tapas most certainly impressed. I'd come back for more of those tasty tapas any day.

The raspberry mojito was great - I would definitely recommend it! The octopus and truffle ravioli were tasty as well. The octopus was probably my favorite as the ravioli was honestly a bit heavy with the cheese/sauce. We did not enjoy the pork cheek and mussels as much. Some of the mussels did not seem fresh - we had been looking forward to this one since it seemed highly reviewed by prior visitors but had mixed feelings about it after.
