Having never been to Talia's, I have only heard complaints about the service. Has anyone been there for a large-group event and have any comments to share? I've been to Darna and have enjoyed myself. Thanks. Fri Oct 30 06:23:03 -0700 2009 67362 craigcep 1 5142486 Talia's is very inconsistent. I've had good experiences and awful experiences. The closest to a rule I can find is that the less crowded they are the better they are. There staff just can't handle a full restaurant. Since you will be going with a large group yourself I'd suggest avoiding Talia's and going to Darna.

DC ...Could you explain your post for the rest of us? Oooo never mind '>>>>>>' = 'much greater than'? Sun Nov 01 11:29:38 -0800 2009 5146751 193375 vallevin 3 5147069 Gotta agree there. Love Darna. You get an eclectic food experience there unlike typical American cuisine too, so that is a plus. I love the lamb tajin - I get it every time! Sun Nov 01 11:29:44 -0800 2009 5146751 1092941 tamarw
