"The biggest argument for hosting a birthday dinner at Si! Mon is the space. This upscale Panamanian restaurant in Venice looks like the grounds of a Spanish ranch in Malibu, complete with a tropical patio and an interior filled with seashell chandeliers and plush green booths. The seafood-leaning menu is even more impressive, but some dishes do run small and can get pricey if you’re ordering several rounds for a big group. Our advice: keep your party to less than six people and you’re in for a meal as special as you are." - brant cox
