Hadn't been to Barcelona in probably six months. I was getting emails and facebook messages about all of the "great changes" and the "new Barcelona" and thought I would give it ONE MORE TRY. Well, big waste of time. They spent a lot of money making more VIP areas so they can entertain Hugh's friends for free and over charge the rest of us poor schmoes on bottle service. Kathy was her smiling self and Johnny the perfect host but it didn't make up for lousey service, arrogant management, bullies for security guards, terrible cocktail/bar service and a totally btichy hostess who was more concerned with talking on her cell phone than seating the four of us. Dinner was OK - not great, and over-priced. The management still walks around looking good in a suit but doesn't interact with employees or customers. At 9:15 on a Saturday night the place was mostly empty. The band was on break for almost our entire dinner. We all agreed we will never ever go back. It is the same bad time I had come to expect from that place. Save your money.
Pros: Kathy, Johnny and food
Cons: everything else
