Barcino

Last week, Tim and I had a pretty amazing date at Barcino in City Golf Plaza. I went to their branch in Burgos Circle a few months ago with some girl friends and really enjoyed my experience there, so I thought it would be a good place to spend a quiet post-Valentines date with my SO as well. Thanks to website, we didn't have to go all the way to BGC. Prior to this, I thought all their branches were in the south - I mean, I've been to City Golf a couple of times already, but I don't recall ever seeing the restaurant there. Turns out, it is tucked away on the second floor, giving it a more exclusive and romantic feel.

Disclaimer: This 1-star review is a score on their service as we weren't actually able to eat at this restaurant (they never served us!)We were 6 in a group with 3 gold members so we decided to have dinner in Barcino. Since the tables are full inside the resto, we were sitted on the chairs outside. When we mentioned that we would like to claim our gold benefits, they asked a different server to explain the rules. The female server was firm that it was a 2+1 deal, for 1 member to avail of a promo, you should order 3 meals to get the last meal free. So for our group of 6, we need to order 9 (I messaged website and this is indeed a wrong interpretation). I asked the server if I could see the rules. She went back in and didn't come out again for about 15 minutes so we left the resto in dismay. I would have entered the resto and made a complaint but I was not in the mood to make a scene.

My S.O. and I find anything with squid ink hard to resist! There are only 2 Spanish restos we go to for the best Paella Negra in town, and until now, we haven’t really decided which one is better! One of them is Barcino. Their version of Paella Negra is cooked al dente with each savory grain coated in rich squid ink. Drizzled generously with aioli, this dish was simply mwah!
