Thank you for helping to plan a wonderful party and please let me pass on the many, many compliments for Alhambra that I overheard throughout the night. 

The room looked beautiful, the food was delicious and plentiful and the service was outstanding. You were a breeze to work with and Alhambra made a great choice with their newest manager.

Sensational Place! As you walk in it's like stepping half around the world. Beautifully put together. Servers are very kind and considerate. The menu has plenty of mouth watering food. The entertainment is glorious! Check out Surayah the belly dancer she can really move! The band is great; very fun. You can get up and Dance 2. If u are looking for more of a conservative event come in at an earlier time because the night is for memorable good times. So much to experience and no time limit on your table so sit or dance and enjoy your stay!! By the way entertainment starts at 10 not 6 like the website says. Apparently its under construction...

I have been to ALHAMBRA 6 times. My best experience is the service. Jose Auila is the best waitress ever. George was good too. I always request Jose Auila to serve me and my guest. The food is amazing. I love the belly dancing as well.
