    My experience at grassa gramma was top tier and rivaled competition in the area. This restaurant has an excellent atmosphere complemented with an impeccable dining experience. The scenery of the interior definitely makes the restaurant stand out from others in a very unique way. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a romantic evening or for someone looking for an immersive and unique experience

    One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The setting was quiet and intimate, and the tables were spread nicely apart. My server Mark was great, not only nice, but also knowledgeable about the menu. It was the first time I’ve ever had my entree served French style, heated table side before plating, ensuring the meal was hot and delicious. When it came to dessert, Mark brought out a tray of dessert and explained each option. It was 10/10 and our meal was less than $150, very fair for a special night out. I left stuffed, happy, and ready to be a repeat customer.

    I recently dined at Guacamole and overall, it was a great experience. The food was excellent, with bold flavors and fresh ingredients. I highly recommend trying the nachos—they were perfectly layered with toppings and full of flavor. The cocktails were also a standout, well-balanced and creative. Service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient. However, the food came out a little too quickly, which made us feel somewhat rushed. Additionally, the noise level was higher than expected, making conversation a bit challenging at times. Despite these minor issues, I would still highly recommend trying. If you’re looking to try something new. The quality of the food and drinks, along with great service, make it well worth a visit.

    Paseo was a wonderful Valentine’s Day experience. From the live jazz to the exquisite dinner options, we had a memorable evening. Its being attached to the Myriad Hotel and Swim Club added to the feeling that you were on vacation, which I appreciated. We had octopus as a starter, which tasted extraordinary, and short rib and salmon for entrees. Both were plated in visually pleasing manners and tasted even better. For dessert, the cardamom and saffron flan was the perfect choice. The taste was perfectly rich and its complementary ingredients made it a flan that won’t ever be topped in my opinion. Their cocktail and wine selection is amazing, with my favorite being the espresso martini. All in all, a magnificent destination for a great many occasions.
