Happy Birthday to  Jocelyn Lo, co-creator of Gimmenomnom!

Her birthday was this past Wednesday, but we decided to take her out last Tuesday. After extensive research on where to take her, I settled for Mediterranean, and found an awesome place called Phara’s.

This place is very intimate and relaxed. I’m not going to do an extensive review, it’s not my style. However, I will say that the dishes are a little pricey (~$16-21), however, the food is WELL worth it. Everything tastes amazing. Hell, I’ll just let you look for yourselves.

Overall, service was excellent! Thanks Orion! Food was awesome. After dinner, we headed to the back where there was live music playing, and a lounge for us to sit in. The place is BYOB and they charge you a little bit to open the bottle. We smoked hookah and had a good time. Hookah is $15 or $20 depending on the flavor you get.

Epic night. I’d recommend this place to everyone I know.
