    We had our Annual Family Christmas Dinner at LA Colonial after a show downtown. The food was amazing - great menu, great wine/cocktail menu and the service was very good. The restaurant is very beautiful- it was a busy evening and I'm hoping to go back at a less busy time to really enjoy the ambiance. Our family loved the experience!

    Lovely ambience to dine in with fresh foods which define the experience are only in competition with the genuine air of hospitality in the attentive service. Trust the staff to guide your selections if unfamiliar with the Persian offerings. And while I’m not a man of favorites… two appetizers are a must. Grilled Shrimp: garlic, black pepper, saffron, jalapeno feta cream sauce. Extraordinary. Kibbeh Nayyeh (Lamb Tartare). Unknown to my experience prior to Rumi’s. Stunning dish enjoyed with raw onion and juice of lime… Wauw.

    The ambiance and music at Azumi are a lot of fun for a date night, girls’ night out, or a group of friends. We started with the Hanayome and Two Moons cocktails. Their espresso martinis are also top notch. For appetizers we stuck with the classics; crispy rice with spicy tuna and yellowtail & Serrano. We tried the Spicy Yellowtail, Tuna Tataki and San Rolls - the Spicy Yellowtail was our favorite! I believe the onion Serrano salsa is what made it pop. We also tried the tuna tasting (nigiri) and the Miso Cod. Everything was spaced out which gave us time to enjoy and catch up. They treated us to delicious peanut butter brownies with Vietnamese coffee gelato for dessert since we were celebrating three birthdays! Very sweet and a nice touch to end the meal.

    Outstanding server, Ben. Very knowledgeable, calm, attentive but not overbearing. Food was great. Pulpo was spectacular. Panacotta was too. Good price on wines. I am ready to return. Was there for late lunch which I would recommend.

    I had the most wonderful birthday dinner at Musaafer! The interior and decor were absolutely stunning, creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was incredible—each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable too, with the staff making us feel so special and well taken care of. I'm so happy with the entire experience and couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate!
