Galentines With My Girl

 Yeah, we know that Galentines is a made up word. However, language starts with made up words and all words start somewhere before they become official.  Galentines day is one such word. I wanted to celebrate Valentine's day with a girlfriend so Galentines it is!

A Facebook ad caught my eye. Restaurant Colonia in Barrio Escalante was running a Valentine's weekend promo. A choice of one of three select meals from the special menu plus two glasses of wine for a mere $20! It was a steal. I told my friend about the special and we booked our reservation. 

Pleasantly surprised was I when our meal arrived and the plates were huge. The glasses of sangria were full to the brim and the staff made us feel so welcome. I couldn't believe how amazing the promo truly was, especially since the food was absolutely delicious. It actually wasn't some 'scam' to just drum up business. It really was a special promotion without strings attached.

This chicken milanese dish was divine. There was so much flavor bursting from this plate. And like I said, the portion size was huge. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

My friend said her $22 salmon dish was incredible.  Colonia has a customer in me.
