In recent years, Spanish cuisine has graduated steadily upward from cult to trend to, at the moment, rage. The next step is breakthrough, but I wonder if Barcelona will be the instrument of that final conquest of the mainstream. Its tapas, though largely excellent, are a little expensive, and some of its main dishes could use a bit of off-center West Coast imagination. At dinnertime, the restaurant's atmosphere is redolent of Spain's moody charm, but while regional authenticity might draw crowds eager for a taste of the new and unfamiliar, the real test is whether it will hold them over time.
Barcelona, at 7 Spring St., serves lunch weekdays from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m, dinner Monday through Thursday from 5:30 until 10 p.m., and dinner Friday and Saturday from 5:30 until 11 p.m. Tapas are available at the bar during afternoon hours as well. Call 989-1976.
