Well this review is two months overdue. I entered Barbounia, real randomly walking around Union Square looking for a place to have dinner. I was instantly impressed with the decor, and ambiance. Most impressive was the quality of service. We were seated immediately, and a waiter came up to us right away asking if we wanted a drink to start with.
To start with, we had a sampler of the three spreads w/ pita and calamari. Both were great dishes to start our meal, but I was honestly excited for the mail course. I went for whole grilled Branzino. This is actually the usual when I visit Sabry's. The fish was well made with a great amount of flavor. I am surprised at Middle eastern restaurants, with their ability to infuse such flavor into fish! HOW IS IT DONE?!
Keep in mind, this place is slightly on the pricey side though. I was not expecting such an expensive meal, but oh well can't put a price on a great meal right!
