Cilantro's sweet potato tacos are exceptional! The mix of flavors and textures is fantastic and the sweet potato is cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere lively. I highly recommend trying the sweet potato tacos. Five stars for sure!

A standing ovation for Gemini, the 'silly, silly, silly' yet 'dirty, dirty, dirty' king of comedy, who turned our night at the Broadbrook Opera House into a riot of laughter and unforgettable memories. His adult show was a masterclass in edgy humor, delivering punchlines that were as naughty as they were hilarious.But the most memorable moment? When Gemini brought his ventriloquism to a whole new level by placing a puppet head on an audience member. The sight was absurdly comical, as he made the puppet head speak with witty and hysterical jokes, perfectly timed to the reactions of the 'human puppet.' It was a brilliant display of his quick wit and creativity, leaving us laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the scene.Even more remarkable is how Gemini transitions from this wildly adult humor to being a kind, gentle entertainer for children. I've seen him at the Food Truck Battles festival, where he magically transformed into the most charming gentleman, creating a world of wonder and laughter for the little ones.Gemini is truly a one-of-a-kind performer. His adult shows are a whirlwind of 'dirty' jokes and silly antics, while his children's shows are heartwarmingly magical. If you’re seeking an evening of unbridled laughter or a day of enchanting fun for kids, Gemini's performances are a must-see. But be warned, his adult humor is as wonderfully outrageous as it gets! #GeminiComedy #SillyAndDirty #BroadbrookNights #MagicForAllAges

Our visit to Ibiza Restaurant in Hamden was a feast not just for the taste buds, but for the soul. It was here that Becky and I chose to celebrate a pivotal moment – the launch of our BISTRO BUDDY app on the iPhone. This Spanish gem provided the perfect ambiance for our special occasion. A Flavorful Beginning Our evening began with an array of delectable starters. The Costilla de res (Beef Short Ribs) melted in our mouths, perfectly paired with creamy mashed potatoes. The Croquetas de hongos (Mushroom croquettes) and Aguacate frito relleno (Fried avocado stuffed with beef) were bursting with flavor, setting the tone for our celebration. The Queso frito (Fried cheese) brought a comforting and joyous element to our table. Celebratory Sangria Our toast to the success of BISTRO BUDDY was marked with glasses of exquisite White Wine Sangria. Its refreshing and zesty flavor was a perfect representation of our celebratory spirits. Main Courses That Stole the Show The highlight of the evening was the main course. The Pierna de cordero (Lamb Shank) and Pork Ossobuco, both accompanied by mashed potatoes and bathed in their own juices, were a culinary delight. Each dish mirrored our journey with BISTRO BUDDY – rich, fulfilling, and utterly satisfying. They were so enticing that we joyfully indulged, savoring every bite. Savoring Every Moment In fact, the main courses were so captivating that we found ourselves fully immersed in the flavors, leaving no room for dessert. Each dish not only filled our stomachs but also our hearts with joy and pride. It was a testament to the hard work and dedication that went into our app. An Evening of Gastronomic Indulgence As Becky and I reflected on our journey, it became clear that the evening at Ibiza was more than a meal; it was a celebration of our dreams turning into reality. The ambiance, the exquisite Spanish cuisine, and our shared excitement made it a night to remember. Leaving Ibiza Restaurant, we were not just full in our stomachs but also brimming with happiness and gratitude for our journey. For those looking to celebrate their personal or professional milestones, Ibiza Restaurant offers a culinary experience that perfectly complements the spirit of any celebration. #IbizaRestaurantReview #BISTROBUDDYSuccess #iPhoneAppLaunch #CulinaryCelebration #HamdenDining #SpanishFlavors
