There is a reason they have been in business for so long and he place is always busy. I guess they are doing something right.teppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016278020388652957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-12250267496953955752013-02-08T21:27:39.740-05:002013-02-08T21:27:39.740-05:00This should happen again.This should happen again.Ehttp://youshouldonlyknow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-55706643097210230742012-01-29T14:46:32.456-05:002012-01-29T14:46:32.456-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.teppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016278020388652957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-75416450535794069142012-01-29T14:46:08.023-05:002012-01-29T14:46:08.023-05:00Ive been there many times, just so happened that w...Ive been there many times, just so happened that was the first time I was there for a large party, they did a suburb job with a large amount of people as they do when I go with just a few friends.

Whenever I notice their continued existence I always wonder why. I came across this review, and hoped it would answer my question.

If it's up your alley, order the pitcher of sangria: it's potent, delicious, and a steal.<br /><br />I've put my name on a 2-hour-long list at Cabana...walked down to Bonfire for a drink (about all it's good for - I've had hideous luck there)...and then got back in time for my name to be called. Soooo worth it, though I can see where anyone trekking in from the other boroughs wouldn't want that sort of hassle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237921600705834870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-40486071030524408472009-08-24T13:01:47.297-04:002009-08-24T13:01:47.297-04:00Cabana is always on the list of places to go, but ...Cabana is always on the list of places to go, but the line is either too long, or my friends aren't in the mood or latin when they make the long haul here to Queensland. As for MoCA, I've been there once. Not bad food, but I think they're the most expensive restaurant in FH (defunct pajama steakhouse notwihstanding), so my doing a real review of them is always backburnered. But I definitely want to go soon.Jon Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728136630493588196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8709919592958418784.post-45661203298521154602009-08-24T12:31:04.767-04:002009-08-24T12:31:04.767-04:00Craptastic!

I also thought about taking a friend to MoCA the other day (I haven't been yet) and checked to see if you had reviewed it. Have you tried it yet?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237921600705834870noreply@blogger.com
