When asked to describe her experience, Nicole Munger eagerly shares: “We cannot say enough about how much we love El Farol. We hosted our wedding reception on the lovely garden patio in the back of the restaurant and everything about it was a huge hit. From the appetizers to the main course and desserts, the staff was phenomenal and our guests had so much fun dancing the night away, with little white lights giving the whole thing a magical touch. Honestly, if we did it again, I can’t think of anything about El Farol we would change. We got so many compliments on how delicious the food was. It’s such a great spot with great food and great people!”
