Truly had the most amazing dinner experience here over this past weekend. My friends and I decided to have dinner at Philippes for my husband’s birthday and it was the best. We were seated promptly after checking in for our reservation. Our server, Doreen introduced himself and went over the menus with us. He recommended the tasting experience and that is exactly what we went with. We did the crown tasting experience and we were left with so much food. This has to be one of the best tasting menus we have tried. The peking duck, the dumpling, the prawns….everything was filled with flavor and cooked to perfection. The dessert presentation was also well plated and delicious. I definitely recommend the tasting menu and because it was Chinese Lunar New Year, we were also able to experience the amazing dragon show. Shoutout to Doreen and Santiago for always keeping our table clean and checking in on us. Will definitely be back soon!

Pig Heaven is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants! After craving peking duck, I decided to try this place out based on the reviews and I was not disappointed at all! Walking in, I was greeted right away and seated seconds after. Our waiter Gordon, then introduced himself and provided us with a menu. For cocktails we ordered a pomegranate martini and a lychee martini. Both martinis were made perfectly! We started off with the ribs for appetizers and the shrimp dumplings. The ribs are must try, juicy and delicious, cooked to perfection. For entrees we ordered the half peking duck and a chicken fried rice. The peking duck was amazing and Gordon even asked to wrap the duck for us into rolls, which I really appreciated. The portion sizes were generous and we had lots of food to take home. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. Shoutout to Gordon for the amazing service!

My friends and I had dinner at Baraki on Friday night and after reading the wonderful reviews, we were very excited to try this new spot out. The restaurant itself is small but beautiful. After we sat down, the host greeted us and provided us with menus. We were very disappointed to see the limited options of cocktails. However, we all still decided to try out their signature cocktails. We ordered the scuseme while i kiss the sky, not your typical sangria & the clear negroni. The drinks came out in very small glasses and did not taste great, definitely not worth the price. The only drink that was good was the sangria. For appetizers, we ordered the bar pizza, saganaki cigars and focaccia burrata. The appetizers were more of frozen dishes that were heated up. For entrees we ordered the pita tacos, gyro bao bun and gnocci vodka. The gnocci vodka was amazing, the best dish of the night. Stay away from the gyro bao bun, the bao bun was stiff and dry, the lamb was cold. The tacos were also cold. As much as we wanted to love this place, we were really disappointed. The service was great but that was the only highlight of this dinner.

I recently dined at Ventanas, and it was a fantastic experience, especially for a date night. The restaurant’s ambiance is truly beautiful and sets the mood perfectly.

We started with a variety of appetizers, including the salmon rice cakes, yellowtail, salmon & tuna tartare, bacon and the shrimp ceviche. Each dish was delicious, but my personal favorite had to be the salmon rice cakes.

For the main course, we savored the lobster with corn, the porterhouse special, and the short ribs. The lobster and short ribs were nothing short of amazing, bursting with flavor. The porterhouse was good, though not quite on the same level as the other dishes.

Overall, Ventanas made for a memorable dining experience, and I would highly recommend it for a special night out. The food quality and ambiance make it a top choice for a romantic dinner.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Sand Castle in July 2022 & I cant stop talking about how amazing this venue is. We had our initial meeting with Loula who was so kind and patient with us. We had a lot of requests and Loula ensured that all of our requests were going to be taken care of. Also, she was not pushy at all and made us feel very comfortable. After signing with Sand Castle, we were in contact on a monthly basis with Loula and Mohamed to discuss menu options, drink options, entertainment, lighting & more. Within the last 3 months before our reception we worked closely with Mohamed and I cant thank him enough for making our dream reception come to life. He ensured every detail was perfect. On the day of our reception, Mohamed and the rest of the Sand Castle staff checked in on us frequently and also kept the drinks and food flowing. We are so happy we chose Sand Castle! The service, the decor, the scenery, the food, the drinks.....everything was absolutely PERFECT!
