This is my second time participating in restaurant week, l heard so much about how magficient view of this restaurant and the food review wasn't too bad, so I decided to have a go. The dinner set consisted of six courses that cost $328 which I thought it was a bargain, considering just order one single food item from the A La Carte menu would be more expensive.

The dinner set consisted of six courses that cost $328 which I thought it was a bargain, considering just order one single food item from the A La Carte menu would be more expensive.
"VIC" Large Iberico Ham Croquette topped with Iberico Ham The presentation was okay, they used two pieces of "VIC" Iberico Ham topped with each Iberico Ham Croquette. Iberico Ham Croquette was a mixture of fresh cream and little Iberico Ham, the texture was crispy from the outside but the temperature of the Croquette was served mildly warm when it came, therefore, it spoilt the original taste of the Croquette.
Galician style Octopus & Mashed potato The Octopus cooked in Galician style which meant Spanish but lacked of chewiness and al dente. It was pity that wasn't cooked very well, othewise it would be a perfect match with mashed potato.
Sauteed Iberico Chorizo with white wineIberico Chorizo was a spicy spanish sausage that commonly found in spanish cooking. It would be a good contrast with white wine due to its own flavour of spicy and salty, but it was way too salty and spicy that my friend and I gave me finishing it.
Slow Cooked Crispy Suckling pig with Caramelized Apple & HoneyFirstly, the suckling pig wasn't moist or tender either via slow cooked method, but was rather salty and dry instead. Secondly, the caramelized apple & Honey sauce which came with the suckling pig was absolutely tasteless. Overall. it was one of worst dishes that I have ever had.
Tapagria style mixed seafood & Meat Paella The paella was not al dente and overcooked, the choice of seafood was too limited (only one piece of prawn was given), it wasn't very fresh and lack of seasioning.
Catalan Cream Finally, to finish off the meal with the dessert named Catalan Cream. It was a spanish dessert which is also name as creme brulee in french. It was not rich or creamy at all and lack of egg flavour. One of the worst dessert that I have ever had .
Conclusion, in regards to food quality, none of the six courses have reached to my satisfactory level and it was the worst dining experience that I had so far. However, if you are just looking a place for a drink with a view, I guess this can be the place.
