    We made our reservation for what seemed to be the dining room. When we arrived, they sat us in the hotel lobby. After a $250 check, we had to chase down the waiter to even pay our bill.

    The server was very nice and seemed very knowlegable but everything was slow. The drinks, the water refills, the food all of it. It may have just been the night that we were there. The manager did send over free apps because of the delay but we were there 2 hrs before our show and we still had to woof down our food in order to make our show. If you are not on a time constraint then this would be a good place to go. The food was very tasty and the martinis were great but overally just extremely slow.

    Great food beautifully presented. The pre theatre dinner is a great option when short on time and everything was delicious. Would go back again to try other dishes.

    Service was good. The manager had good energy. Drinks: Brown butter Old Fashion and Jasmine Spritzer... delicious though took awhile to arrive. Wedge Salad: Delicious Burrata: Good but small portion for price NY Strip Steak: Good but fatty Skirt Steak: The outside was scorched and the inside almost rare... I changed out for the smash burger. Overall good. That Skirt Steak left a bad taste in my mouth.
