New Spanish restaurant Bobomia opens in Courtyard 4

Courtyard 4 (the area with The Local, Q Mex, and Taco Bar) has an exciting new addition in the form of Spanish restaurant Bobomia. The restaurant has a striking modern design and a menu created by well-known chef Raul Liu, who has worked in and designed menus for restaurants around the world. Bobomia's menu features both classic dishes like roast suckling pig and more modern interpretations like fresh tuna salad with organic tomatoes and a basil vinaigrette. Now is a great time to head over there and try it, as they have three great deals running until May 14, including 20 percent off food, buy-one-get-one-free wine by the glass, and buy one bottle of wine and get the second for 50 percent off. We'll have a full review for you soon.
