No place better to go before and after a show. We went before, and my husband's Alfredo was so good we went back for dessert after and I got an Alfredo to bring home

The food was excellent, especially the shrimp and grits... full of flavor and the right amount of kick. The service matched the food. The shrimp and grits alone are reasons to come back, but I look forward to trying something from the rest of the menu which looked appetizing.
