Quattro

Last week, I read an interesting article on how men are so exasperated when women in their lives can’t decide where to eat. It’s the total opposite with me. I decide where to eat 99% of the time. I usually book our weekend restaurant reservations on Mondays. I was pretty sure that I booked for BCN this weekend but for some reason, I just didn’t. This threw me off completely, so, for once, I let D decide where to eat.

He chose Quattro because he said that we have been loyal patrons to this restaurant for the last 8 years for a reason— it is always consistent in it’s quality and service. I have good memories of this place. I remember how we always have our Easter Brunch here because Beans loves the egg-hunt and there’s always an Easter bunny handing out treats.

This is B with the Easter Bunny. He’s about 8 years old in this pic. I can’t wait for him to find out I posted this.

This is also our go-to restaurant during New Year’s day when I’m too lazy to cook.

This was 5 years ago. Getting an early buzz courtesy of the amazing bellini is always a good way to start a year.

D’s criteria in choosing a restaurant is based solely on the wine list.

This is the real reason why we are here. He wanted to get this bottle. Luckily, it was really good.
I had Jalapeño Mule.
The server recommended that we start with Padini – they contracted this cheese maker from Italy. It is very similar to Parmesiano-Reggiano without the saltiness
I loved, loved, loved this wild caught octopus. Perfectly cooked and paired with olives and grilled potatoes
D had 30 day dry aged filet
This tiramisu was made table-side and it totally stole the show. The lady fingers are freshly made and soaked in espresso with marsala.

Yesterday, we had a really bad experience in a once-loved restaurant. It has all been settled now. Manager has apologized and all. But for once, it’s nice to dine and have everything the way it should be. That is Quattro. From the time they lead you to your table, to the way they pour the wine, everything is done correctly. D made a great choice.
