    Forbidden Cove is such an awesome place! The drinks were fantastic, as was the service! We brought in a fairly large group and they were able to accommodate us efficiently and attentively. The decor and entrance is so fun! Definitely returning!

    Flama Llama was great. The interior is cute, with an nice enclosed patio and great decor. The garlic noodles had a smoky/grilled flavor, and it came with big chunks of grilled veggies that weren't listed on the menu. Definitely a plus. The wonton soup had a good, rich broth. Elote was on the corn-forward side (not overly cheesy). Would definitely order it again. Yucca fries come with two great sauces. I really liked the green cilantro one (which also came with the garlic noodles). The liquor license is wine/sake only, but their sake-based cocktails are fantastic. Service was great.

    I made a large reservation for 17 people, which ended up being bumped up to 20 on the actual day. I was worried about making such a large reservation and confirmed it on phone with the restaurant that it was ok. They accommodated us perfectly and the food and service was great! Absolutely no issues. Very grateful to the staff that served us.
