Such a fun experience! The food was incredible! If you have a horror movie fan, you have to take them! They have a purge birthday experience as well, which was such a fun little thing. I also appreciated that they could tell my autistic son was not excited about the characters, and they didn't go up to him! Would definitely come back!

Our first visit to The Last Page was excellent. We ordered the Chef's experience....so without ordering, we received at least 6 items from the menu, one after the other, and each was terrific. We started with a wonderful salad, then had ahi tuna tartar, then roasted carrots in a very nice cool Greek sauce, then chicken, potatoes, salmon and cooked onion halves...all shared in family style (just two of us) and topped off with a very moist citrus cake and wine. We were stuffed and had no doubts about any of the dishes. Of course, great meals are no cheap and neither is The Last Page; our meal with tax and a well-deserved tip came to over $230. Of course, we would go back again without hesitation, but not every weekend.
