Review content:
I went here with my family (total of 12 people) just last week (December 8, 2007). We had such an exceptional time, because of the combination of food and treatment we received - in such an elegant and unusual setting. We decided on Alhambra as part of an on-going family tradition that we have - to experience a different ""country"" every year by choosing a unique restaurant. It was the little extras, along with the exciting entertainment, that made it such an exciting event. My daughter, 8, was with us, as well as my grandmother, 97. The entertainers engaged us (especially the 8 and 97 year olds) - even my mother (64), was brought onto the dance floor by the belly-dancer. My daughter said it was one of the most exciting nights she had ever had. We were there at 8 - and saw both the flamenco dancing, and the belly-dancing, at 10:00. The dance atmosphere at 10-11 felt more like ""big-family-wedding"" - not ""pick-up-at-the-nightclub"" - that all of us - 8, 33, 64, and 97 years of age - had a blast. I'm going to make reservations for another special night this weekend. If you are going to go - get some recommendations on what to order (I like the kabob platter - ordered by # of guests), and definitely get a hooka pipe and turkish coffee - it's all part of the experience. It's an experience, not just a dinner. I eat out so often - Alhambra is not where you go to just get a meal - you go to experience a fun, unique evening. My daughter was treated like a princess, and we were also given a little tour (by the sweetest waitress - I think her name was Heather.) Plan on staying for a few hours.
Pros: Ambiance, unique experience, atmosphere, entertainment, ""family-type"" dancing
Cons: Skip the regular coffee - go for Turkish
