    O. M.G. Llamas is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. It’s an experience, for sure. We started with a drink. I had a ginger mule, hubs had a beer. Then we were seated and the Experience began. We had the HONGOS BACHICHE to begin. It was so good! I have never had something so different and unique! The sauce, to die for! Then we ordered the ZETAS Y PASTA & the VEGGIE SALTADO for entrees. Again so incredibly fresh and delicious! Lastly, for dessert, the Sacred Valley. This dish was presented to us by the Owner, Chef Marcel Vizcarra. He explained the dish and its origins. Hands down, the best Mousse, EVER! With just a few tables, the atmosphere is intimate. Perfect for date night, or a small group outing. Also, the staff is so knowledgeable, professional & friendly. We will definitely be dining with Llamas again.

    We are regulars at Cordova and love it. Christmas Eve was extremely busy and we found it difficult to find a place to sit in the lounge while waiting for our dinner reservation at 6:30. The kitchen was slow and we didn't finish dinner until 9:30. We'll definitely go back but this experience was out of the ordinary. We have dined here on Christmas Eve for the last 6 years so it's become somewhat of a tradition for us. Never had this much of a delay in the past.

    My husband & I had the eggplant parmesan & it was delicious. The portion was so large we brought some of it home. It was a limited menu but this was exactly what we were looking for. We made our reservation late & had to be seated in the bar. We had a cozy table & excellent service. We have been coming to this restaurant for years.
