Paella

paella is a rice dish that originated in its modern form in the mid 19th century in valencia on the east coast of spain. paella was originally a laborer's meal cooked over an open fire in the fields and eaten directly from the pan using wooden utensils. the main ingredients for paella are rice and sofrito (a stew of garlic, onion, and tomatoes cooked in olive oil). the name "paella" comes from the old french word for pan, paelle, which is a derivative of the latin word patella. what distinguishes paella from other rice dishes with meat, fish, and vegetables is the saffron that grows amply in spain. during the cooking process the paella will form a char on the bottom of the pan known as socarrat

I made a grou reservation for 10 people for a bachelorette party and the service was terrible. The restaurant was no where near full so I would not have excepted the service to be as slow as it was. Our waiter was not attentive and forgot to bring drinks multiple times. A friend had called the restaurant prior to send a bottle of a wine as a gift and our waiter never took note of the name to tell us who it came from.

As always Barsa does not disappoint. Consistently some of the best, non-pretentious Tapas in Charleston. This place is always fun, always great food, always consistently wonderful.

They have a new chef. Beware don’t eat the pickles, so salty they can make you cry. Service was great and the cocktails were fine. From there it went down hill. Plus please Dim the lights. They were like searchlights!

We had a great night, because we went on date night on a weekday we were able to take advantage of the Happy Hour prices for our drinks and the paella! We also got a cheese board and two other tapas. It was all fantastic and we were very full by the end, but not too full for desert!
