We are a couple in our 50s. We met friends last night at Barca and we were served RAW hamburger in their kebabs. When I complained to one of the servers, she was very doubtful and put-off. I told her I wanted a manager, who came over and offered to take charges off our bill. The gesture was appreciated, but today my husband and I are ill with stomach upset and nausea. I'm posting here as a public health warning: if you order meat in this establishment, check it before you bite into it.

Nice waterfront bar restaurant. The food was good. Nice variety of tapas to choose from. Did not like the Sangria, I could tell they were pre made and was very watery. But the location and view were nice.
