    The waiter said that the food is made to order, however that wasn’t our experience. Every dish we ordered was room temp like it had been sitting. I had to keep sending my drinks back due to the bartenders not knowing how to properly make drinks. Every drink except one was extremely sour. Like the bartenders just squeezed fresh lemon juice over the drink without mixture. Maybe it’s the cuisine of this restaurant but the oil was a bit too much for my liking especially for the prove that was paid.

    You call it energetic but the truth is it was unnecessarily loud. Heres a tip. When you have a full area filled with people talking there is no need for music. When you turn the music up then the people have to speak even louder. We are there to visit with our friends and family. If I want to listen to music I will go to a concert. The waitress is great, she used to wait on us at Theismans, the food is okay, but so far all of your restaurants are way to loud. Maybo with the exception of the majestic.

    We always have a great experience when we visit Barca Wine. Our server, Jojo, is absolutely wonderful—we’ve known her for four years, and she continues to impress us every time. She’s attentive, kind, and caring, and always takes the time to recommend the newest items on the menu. Thank you, Jojo! 🤗🤗
