New York Restaurant Week has been extended until the end of February for many participating restaurants. One of these restaurants is Barbounia, located on 20th and Park Ave South. My lady colleagues and I dined there for lunch today and what an experience it was.
Off the extended Restaurant Week lunch menu I ordered the Greek Salad as an appetizer, Salmon for my main course and rose-infused flan for dessert.

Dessert - rose-infused custard. Nice presentation. Smelled rosy, tasted rosy (literally). I sampled a small bite and I was very disappointed. A 20 minute wait for an over-infused custard. It didn't even taste like custard, or even have the consistency of it. #fail
Decor - cute. I thought I was in a Mediterranean restaurant but there was too many themes going on. Almost felt like I was shopping in ABC Home (which is around the corner).
Service was another issue. There were probably 5 other tables in service, and ours was a table of 4. I don't know why it took the waiter so long to take our order and deliver each course.
Anyway, I don't think I'd dine here again and I don't recommend it. Note: I also sampled other dishes from my gal pals. Save the money and go elsewhere.

The Greek Salad was fine. The moment it was served to me I blurted out, “That’s a big hunk of cheese!” and coincidentally my colleague sitting next to said the same thing when her salad arrived. The salad wasn’t bad, just a typical Greek Salad which a moms and pops shop could make way better.
My main course was complex. Looked ordinary to me when it was served so I didn’t bother to take a picute. I regretted it later. To best describe the taste think of grilled salmon with a perfect char and Indian food. The salmon rested on saag (pureed spinach). On top of the salmon was a tomato based dish served at Indian restaurants. Masala? Oh, can’t forget about the roasted fennel – about half a bulb. I decided just to eat the salmon alone. May I also mention that the salmon was served skin side up. So much for the lovely char I described earlier.

I'm a Native New Yorker who now lives in Connecticut. I love food – cooking, eating, taking photos of food, attending cooking demos – all things food, and don’t forget about drinking wine. It could be anywhere – in my hometown, to abroad, anything food and drink goes here.
