Intention was dinner before the theatre and it worked out perfectly. One of our group was gluten free and the menu worked for them as well. Good food, good company and it met our timeline to get to the theatre.

Love the drink cart and dessert room.Grace was our server and made for an amazing night. She made our dessert table side in the dessert room which just topped off a magnificent meal. Wife had the salmon and I had the Halibut. Both dishes were amazing. Go in and experience a great atmosphere. Be certain to ask for Grace as she is amazing!!

We have been here before...The food is quite good and this time we had a terrific server..The gents' name is Leander and was simply a pleasure to deal with...Will ask for him again...That is for certain... One other point..They have had an issue with repairing their Cappucino machine for YEARS...It is so ridiculous that we laughed when we found out that the issue lives...For this chain to just buy a new machine is truly a disgrace. Also I am certain they lose a lot of after dinner business in regard to desserts and coffee and it leaves a bad feeling to end the dinner...

Food was excellent at reasonable price! For some reason, service, although very polite and concerned, was slow. Not sure who was at fault and I’m never quick to blame the service staff.
