    One of my favorite karaoke spots. Bartender and KJ are awesome. The crowd gets a bit much for me on Friday nights.

    Classy restaurant with really lovely outdoor seating…read more We came on a Thursday evening and there was no wait. Less than half the restaurant was full. The weather was good, so we sat in the back patio and it was so nice. I ordered the Dungeness crab fettuccine and it was really well made, but a little too salty for me (although I'm very sensitive to salt so it's probably not too salty for the average diner). My husband ordered the short ribs. He enjoyed his dish but wished there were some vegetables in it. My favorite part was the complimentary bread. So warm and delicious. We came for my husband's birthday, so they actually prepared a small piece of chocolate mousse cake with candle for him after our meal, which was a nice surprise! It was very good--not too sweet. Service was also excellent. Gratuity is already included into your bill, and they're kind enough to remind you of it when giving you the check.

Ordered salmon on the side which was cooked and salted well. *Fettuccini Carbonara(9/10)- Served with pancetta, English green peas, and mushrooms in a white cream sauce. Pasta was fresh with perfect amount of sauce ratio. A lot great of texture and the meat added some saltiness to the dish. It does have too much mushroom for my preference *Sausage & Honey Flatbread(8.7/10)- Tomato sauce, homemade Italian sausage, serrano peppers, mascarpone. *Fortaleza Repo Winter Blend Margarita (8.8/10)- drink was delicious. Tequila was definitely spot on and is high quality. However it's mostly ice and definitely not worth $55 Ambience: restaurant is very elegant and clean. A bar on the back. Great for special occasions. Offers both indoor and outdoor options. Service: Great service. Servers were attentive, gives recommendations, and communicates with you at a personal level. Price: Expensive. Be aware that there's a 20% gratuity already Parking: plenty of parking in the front

    I tried calling to share feedback, but they did not answer which I feel is important to note…read more We don't mind paying for a quality experience--especially for special occasions--which is why we chose Broma to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, we left regretting that decision. From the start, the experience felt unwelcoming when we were seated with our 3-year-old daughter. There was no single overtly disrespectful moment, but the overall tone and repeated small interactions made us feel like we were being judged for having a child with us. At one point, when our daughter accidentally dropped her fork while playing, the reaction we received came across as frustration, which added to that feeling. We understand not every restaurant is designed for young children, but Broma presents itself as a place for friends and family. Instead, we felt like we had to constantly manage and overcorrect normal toddler behavior, which created stress and took away from what should have been a special occasion. Because of that, we didn't feel comfortable raising concerns during the meal when the server checked in--we were more focused on getting through the experience without drawing additional attention. We were also offered an off-menu item without any mention of price. The menu we were given did not list the smash burger, so when I ordered a double, I had no context for the cost. The final price was a surprise, and we would have made a different decision with that information upfront. The food itself did not match the price point. The "smash burger" was not prepared in the style typically expected, and overall the meal felt underwhelming for the cost. Lastly, the billing was confusing. The paper receipt listed "gratuity," while the digital receipt labeled the same charge as a "service charge," making it unclear whether an additional tip was expected. That lack of clarity does not align with the level of transparency expected at this price point. We don't mind paying for a great experience, especially for meaningful occasions, but this visit did not meet that standard and ultimately left us regretting our choice to celebrate here.

The food, however, was not especially impressive. I would not rush back for the food alone. The seafood pasta was too acidic/sour and somewhat underwhelming, so it did not quite land for me and led to the stomach discomfort that lasted into the next day. The quality and presentation do not match the price tag. Also, "broma" means "joke/prank" in Spanish, so naturally I found myself wondering whether the two Black Iberian pigs on the wall were part of the joke. :) I would come back for the vibe, the bar area, and maybe to give the food another try.

    Nice cocktail bar inside Shashi hotel. I stayed here for a business trip and decided to redeem the…read more$20 coupon I got for a cocktail. Cocktails here are $19-22 so you'll likely pay $8-10 out of pocket anyway so the coupon is fairly useless. It's just how they charge a premium for nice hotels. I got the Smarter Than Your Average Pear which was pretty delicious - a bit sweet yet strong. It's pisco based and I haven't had a pisco cocktail that is not a pisco sour, so this was a nice change of things. They also tack on a 20% service charge which I'm never a fan of unless they provide outstanding service, which they didn't. They refilled water a few times but not consistent enough to justify this service charge, which is why I took a star off

We visited late on a Friday night, and the service was still very attentive. Our waiter was kind and patient. The food was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. We ordered the Oxtail with Clams and the Hamachi Crudo. The oxtail soup was a bit salty and oily for my taste, but the bread topping was aromatic and delightfully crispy. The Hamachi Crudo was fresh and came with a unique bubble sauce that added a fun and flavorful touch.

    We decided to try this restaurant tonight. I read the reviews and looked at the photos. Nice place,…read moreservers were attentive and not pushy. They were not to crowded tonight but it was the day after the Labor Day weekend. Once seated, they brought us chips and salsa (green good flavor not too spicy and a red sauce that had some kick according to my wife- I didn't think it was too hot).I had a 2 item combo and went with 2 Tamales (one beef and the other chicken) served with rice and beans. Both tamales had good flavor and I enjoyed the Rice & Beans that came with my dish. My wife had the California Burrito with Steak. She liked her burrito. Nice size serving. We would go back there again. They have plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors and seem to stay pretty busy. Give them a try if in the area.

Right off the bat, I was so mesmerized by the colorful display they have from left to right inside their restaurant. What we ordered: Shrimp ceviche Enchiladas suizas Carne Asada Plate Pollo Asado Tacos FOOD: 8/10 Their food was flavorful, with hearty portions, and best of all, served piping hot! Chevy's could never! LOL. The shrimp ceviche was fresh; however, we wished it had more of the citrusy juice and was a bit dry. The cubed mangoes were a nice fresh addition to the ceviche. SERVICE: 10/10 The nicest staff to stumble upon. We were helped by 3 different people, and each of them was so kind and attentive. AMBIANCE: 10/10 Their ambiance is everything, whether it is inside or outside. Outside, there is a lot of nice seating to enjoy the weather. I can only imagine how it looks at night with the twinkle lights on. Inside was so beautiful and eye-catching. There was color everywhere, and I truly loved their rainbow-pattern theme, papel-picados and mariposas displayed all throughout the restaurant. The mixed colors and patterns of chairs per table were beautiful. Their bar area looked so cute and fun to be at. They definitely had so many different types of tequila brands displayed, which makes sense, but I thought it was nice. Parking was fine, thankfully, but it was very small. I wonder how it would be at night or when it gets packed. Overall, this is a great place to stop by!
