Ventured out with Elizabeth, Mike, Katherine, Jamie and Greg
1st Stop - Barcelona
Overall - 9
Ambiance - 7
Lively, crowded, a bit too dark
Food Quality: 8
Garlic bread served w/spicy tomato sauce and goat cheese was very good, although garlic bread tasted as if it was just covered w/garlic.
Potato cakes were very good.
Tenderloin and beef skewers were delicious and cooked just right. Only disappointment was the special, the crab empanadas. All of the other tapas that we ordered were very well received by the table.
Service: 10
Fast, friendly service. No hiccups. Never needed to ask for our server. She was all over it!
Value - 10
$81 before tip for 6 people
2nd Stop - Rathskeller
Overall: 4
Ambiance: 3, crowded restaurant, tight seating, restrooms were in the ballroom where they were having a wedding reception. The building was old and outdated.
Food Quality: 5
We only ordered desserts here. Chocolate torte covered w/raspberry sauce was the favorite at the table. Hot pretzel drizzled w/chocolate sauce was not very good. Elizabeth ordered raspberry sorbet - I can't imagine that you can mess that up.
Service: 3
Service was adequate once a server came to the table, but they were very unfriendly.
3rd Stop - Bazbeaux
Ambiance: 5
Patio, clean restrooms, what you'd expect of pizzeria
Food Quality: 6
1/2 pepperoni pizza and 1/2 quatro cheese pizza. Pepperoni pizza was pretty good; they spared no expense on the cheese. I didn't try the quatro cheese pizza, but others said it was more like a quiche and wasn't as good as the pizza. The food was average at best. Garlic bread lacked garlic - it's better described as buttered toast served with cold marinara sauce.
Service: 8
No issues. We were low maintenance, so it's hard to rate.
