Reviews for Barsa Tapas Lounge & Bar in Charleston, SC
I had a date night here last night, and the food and service were amazing. The chicken and chorizo medium-size paella take a... little bit for them to make (noted on the menu) but it is 1000% worth it. It tastes incredible, and it easily feeds four people.It's a great value for the price and I can't recommend it enough. Read more
Have been here several times but its been awhile so decided to go back. Was disappointed seemed like the place hasnt been kept... up since last year. Was a little dirty and dingy and the food was not as good as it once was. The dates had a slightly burnttaste to them. The pan con tomate had no cheese as ordered and really no flavor. The fish was cooked perfectly. Croquettes andstuffed peppers were ok. Like i said little disappointed because nothing had any real wow to it. The shrimp in the paella wasvery rubbery other then that nothing much else. Read more
I can't say enough about my first time to Barsa!! From tapas to paella to flan, everything was fantastic. Jake was an excellent... server to make the experience even better. Read more
My test of a good Spanish tapas place is how good their octopus is - and here, it was perfectly tender and flavorful. Pretty... impressed. The couple things I got for myself were really pretty good. Really enjoyed being outside in their patio area, it'sremarkably chill and low key. Service when I went was a little understaffed and mixed up on getting the right orders to theright tables, is really the only knock I have on it. If I was a local I'd probably give it a 5 as a go-to spot. For justvisiting, I don't know if I'd give it that as a "You gotta go out of your way to check this place out." But it's really prettygood and worth stopping in if you're in the area. I'd go back. Read more
The back patio is so peaceful, you would never guess it is so close to king street. The food was great! Every dish was... phenomenal, we got about 5. Prices are really reasonable, about $12 a share plate. You need to get the lamb meatballs - the redsauce is lick the plate worthy, hands down. Allison was our waitress and she was amazing, so much hospitality. Will be returningsoon! Read more
What a fantastic place! We ordered the olives tapas and the dates tapas and it was divine! For the main entree we had the... chicken and chorizo paella which was cooked to absolute perfection, tender chicken and crispy bottom! Grace was our server andshe was amazing. She suggested two alternative beers to the Estrella and both were amazing. We ordered three desserts: the flan,the torte, and the apple crisp. All three did not disappoint! Read more
Food and staff were amazing, had a wonderful evening. Our server Isaac was so helpful and we had stuffed peppers and veggie... paella. Best dinner on our whole weekend trip to Charleston. The paella took almost a whole hour to cook which was a littlesuspenseful, but it was very good so I suppose it was worth it. It was kind of dark in the dining room though, some of theguests who were sitting in the center had their phone flashlights on to look at the menus. We were sitting by the window andunder the lamps so it was brighter for us. All in all however, it was a good visit and we will probably be back. Read more
So glad we came here! Absolutely amazing food! We shared the roasted olives, the stuffed cheese peppers and the seafood paella... and we're impressed. I'm Puerto Rican so we've had some excellent paella but this one was an entirely different taste. The riceand all the flavors were delicious, there are 3 different portion sizes so we got the small to share and good thing because themedium pan looked huge. Our server was awesome and on it. The atmosphere is low key and very nice with that special touch ofSpain. Read more
