We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Biff's Bistro before seeing a show at the Meridian. The room was comfortable and the server was very attentive to our needs and gave us good information about the menu items. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the french onion soup, which the five of us had. The only minor disappointment was the mushroom risotto, but other than that, everything was really good! We would come again :)

I always like the Reign, since its first day opening. I like the regal setting, the decoration, the service and the warm and experienced faces of the servers. The food is equally good and the portions are quite big to give the customers their value. I will always go back to the Reign when friends are in town, when my children came to visit and each and every celebrations.
