    The food was average to good but prices were extremely high. Great service. Cheesy magic show more for senior citizens than a younger crowd. Rude to ask guests for paper money for acts and then guilt them to keep it as a tip. Dark. I felt like it would be a very sad place with lights on. One and done.

    Brunch with my son was great! No devices to distract and great way to be up close and personal with the tricks.

    This restaurant did not live up to the reviews I read on Open Table. We ordered off the Prefix menu for the night and it was a big disappointment. The favorite part of the meal was the starter salad. I think we just made poor food choices. Others that we spoke to ordered off the menu and enjoyed their meals. The saving grace for the restaurant was Terry, the magician. He's magic tricks were impressive and he had a great personality to match. I am glad I gave this restaurant a try, but I would not go back.

    We had the fixed price dinner for two and it was dry. We could not eat it all. The entertainment was top notch. The magicians went above and beyond for their shows. We would definitely go back for a special night out!
