    We were going to a show and liked their pre-show menu. My wife has a couple food allergies and they were great accommodating as needed. Server was fantastic, the pickled appetizers were really good; the cobb salad practically had a full avocado on it; the chicken was flavorful and tender; and they got us out in time for our show.

    We reserved for the pre-theater menu - the mock tails and food were all delicious. Impressed from start to finish with the service and the food - Ethan was our delightfully warm and attentive server. The tile walls do make for a loud dining area, which made conversation shouty, but not impossible. Absolutely would recommend.

    Everything was excellent. The staff was super friendly and treated us to really delicious warm chocolate chip cookies for our anniversary.  my only very small complaint was that my chocolate croissant was slightly overcooked!

    Really great atmosphere and it was a nice place to get dinner before a show. Overall though I felt like the quality of the food varied and didn’t really keep up with the cost. Too expensive for the food offered

    Odd that we were the only guest for dinner. Wait staff didn’t seem to know much about the venue and were not very attentive. Had to ask about the check..

    We had the pre-theatre menu which was very well priced. The portions were large and the food was deliciously prepared. Service was great. I would go back there again for sure.
