When will I learn my lesson. I keep going to these food events even after I swear I'll never go to another one. No one to blame but myself. It's almost like I keep holding hope that "this one will be better".
This was a last minute decision to go as I had a friend in town and we both decided that it was worth a try. So we grab the VIP tiks, show up at 8p in hopes of having a good time. This is my first time going to this actual event, but I went to another Barcelona event last year at Yellowtail and was sorely disappointed.
The first stop we make we are served a cold meatball and one cold fingerling potato. Not a good sign. This is supposed to showcase your venues food and you choose this?
To cut this short, only a few items stood out, the halibut from Mastro's (and of course their butter cake) and the slider and Nutella Cocoa Puff shakes from BLT Burger. Oh and there was a truffles ricotta from a place opening up in October called Hearthstone. The alcohol served usually got tossed in the trash (the wines were equal to box wine from a grocery store). I wasn't looking for a headache.
This event was most definitely not worth the $100 ticket. Save yourself the time and go have a nice dinner somewhere else.
