    The food and experience were both amazing. At first it seems like you will leave hungry because the portions are small, but there are so many portions you leave very full and very please! The flavors were unparalleled. I very much enjoyed my experience!

    As usual, the food was outstanding and the service was fast and above expected. We go often before plays at TPAC because they always have wonderful food and get us in and out quickly so that we arrive in time for the play.

    Me and my girlfriend went here for our anniversary. Service was amazing and we were stunned by how good the bread and butter was. We ordered the duo entree and shared each steak. This with a side a Mac and cheese and the mushrooms were plenty to fill us up. Best part of the meal might just have been the sides because wow i have never tasted better mac and cheese and this place made me like mushrooms which i never thought was possible. Great experience and great night. Would recommend!
