This was our third time coming and the first two times were a pleasant experience but this one was not unfortunately. Our waitress was all over the place and didn’t tend to our table very well. The entertainment was a repeat as before so that was nothing new. They do not support our military personnel. It’s about the all mighty dollar to them. Not about pleasing their customers.

We have been there many times and this time it appears the overall experienced dropped 3 notches. Music was very loud compared to other times, the disc jockey was more untuned with himself and not watching the crowd. Music selection was weak compared to the ambiance.

I went with my girlfriends to celebrate my birthday and the last time I went there on a busy night the waiter told us we had to get a $300 bottle for it to come with a show so I get a bottle and the waiter tells me I need to spend $500 on one bottle even though it was my birthday . Was super disappointed the service wasn’t as good as the previous time I went there and didn’t feel special at all here on a birthday. Was completely let down by the service with food and my bottle.

Food was good but not worth the price. Server forgot to bring a drink, bread for the table, and ordered appetizers incorrectly so we had to wait to receive most of what was missing until we were almost done eating. Vibe is nice, shows are every 30-40 mins but very short.

Ciel Restaurant never disappoints! Booking a reservation is incredibly convenient, and they make the process so smooth. The customer service is consistently top-tier, with staff who are attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about ensuring you have a great experience. The food? Simply amazing — every dish is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The ambiance is also fantastic; the energy in this place is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommend!
