    We had 3 of us for dinner at Tia Carmen. The space is very nice with a lot of different materials and textures. Our server greeted us promptly and we took a look at the menu. She explains the concept of Chef Sosa's menu and suggested many things that she thought we might like to enjoy. Cocktails 2 of us had the 5 Citrus sprit which was light and refreshing. I had the Weihenstephan Hefeweiss beer which was tasty. Food wise we ordered the suggested Pan fritto , their version of bread and the romaine salad, both were delicious. next we had the Tuna crudo which is small but very flavorful with the spicy corn broth. next was the guisado ala Carmen which is this very flavorful stew like dish that had so many things going on. and the Market fish ala plancha which was also very tasty. All in all a very nice dinner. A very delicious dinner!

    The experience is pretty cool - greeted at valet by security, golf cart ride to more security at an elevator, get to the restaurant level and greeted by more security that escorts you to the Nobu entrance where you are greeted by the entire staff. Then have the most flavorful meal in your life while overlooking Stadium 2 of the Indian Wells Tennis Complex. Everything … mind-blowing perfection!

    Great food and ambiance as per usual. I was glad they forgot to bring their garlic bread since I always pig out on it and can't eat my dinner, but make sure you try that if you've never had it. Always so much fun and the service is warm and friendly.
