Design - , ,
PHILOSOPHY My experiences in living in different cultures, languages, cooking practices, and exposure to art, have influenced me in everything I do today. I get excited to design a new restaurant space, and create an atmosphere where people can come together, and, on either a conscious or subconscious level, experience a cultural and hopefully an emotional shift. The design, the music, the food, the wait staff; the atmosphere, and every nuance, contributes to the way I want my guests to feel when they leave. This philosophy was what my partner, Andy Pforzheimer, and I envisioned back in 1994. It was at that time that we met a brilliant architect who was developing a building in historic South Norwalk, Connecticut; which was the perfect location for the tapas restaurant I had dreamed of since my early days in Spain. Andy was an accomplished chef, and developed our menu, while I shaped and designed the physical space and ambience. Two years later, the first Barcelona Restaurant and Wine Bar opened its doors. Today the excitement and energy that defines all Barcelona restaurants are an amalgamation of my, and Andy's individual and collective visions. Our dream of creating a warm, welcoming gathering place, with great wines and small plates, that offer a multitude of different flavors, and can be eaten as easily at the bar as at a table, was realized.
