We always enjoy our visit to QB! Our sever was probably the best we have had yet. His service was excellent! I don’t remember his name but hopefully they can tell from our reservation. The food was absolutely delicious! My husband is Sicilian and we have brought several family members here and all of them love it! The drinks were also fantastic!

It was an another great pre theater meal. As usual, Shelly kept things moving and got us out in plenty of time for the curtain. Food was excellent. Slight glitch with one order, but that was a kitchen issue and Shelley remedied it immediately. She really is excellent
