“If you want bad tapas, go to Firefly; if you want good tapas, go to Forte.”
ELV couldn’t have said it better himself.

Once you get past the sign at the just-opened (last Friday) Ogden’s Hops & Harvest, you will enter a worthless and feng shui-challenged foyer that makes absolutely no sense:

This odd entryway will slightly annoy you, as it did the crowds who stayed away from the previous tenant (the without-a-clue Bottles & Burgers) in droves.
But pay no attention to this fatuous foyer, because fortunately, everything forward is familiar, fascinating and fantastic.

ELV likes this pic ‘cuz he thinks it’s art-y.
The tres leches cake at Border Grill is pretty damn art-y too.
In fact, it might be an artistic apotheosis and an admirable ending affecting your alimentary adventures at this admirable agency of appetite and agave attractions.
In other words, it’s pretty f*cking great (sorry, Mom) and this ain’t the first time we’ve obsessed over it.
There is nothing more to say….except we’ve never found a better one…and this portion can easily be split 3-4 ways.
Quite a bargain for nine bucks….as is our absolutely free, art-y photograph.
Just thought you’d like to know.
