    Overall, it is a nice place with good food and a great location, perfect for business meetings. However, I had to take off points due to the noise issue. We were the only group on the second floor and came for a business lunch, intending to discuss important matters. Unfortunately, in the middle of our lunch, the waitstaff started sorting utensils loudly right next to our table. It became so noisy that we could hardly hear each other, making it difficult to hold a conversation. What made it more frustrating was that the staff did not even try to be quieter, despite clearly seeing that we were having a discussion. I hope they will be more attentive to their customers in the future after reading this review.

    The fixed price lunch was a great value for the money and a great value for the tastebuds. The Bruschetta was amazing. I'd like a bottle of the balsamic dressing.

    Great service. Very nice atmosphere. Prices aren’t cheap but fair for the value. Very convenient location if you’re attending a show at the Warner.
