NOT a “merry Christmas” reservation On one hand it was Christmas Day (evening) so some forgiving might be in order, BUT having booked AND been told I had to pay in advance because it was the holiday I was expecting something good. Which is wasn’t The 7pm reservation apparently didn’t mean much, we arrived early and still had to wait around 30 minutes before being seated. We apparently COULD have just shown up and done the same, NOT paid for the meal in advance AND had much more choice. (They were unwilling to apply the money ($250 or so) towards a regular meal once we asked what happened/why we had to pre-pay etc.) The main course food was mediocre at best. When the fried chicken tastes better than anything else (the salmon, the two steaks/frittes, and the burger it’s NOT a good sign.) Don’t order the salmon, that’s all we’ll say about that option. The ambiance? Having done a lot of the Hard Rock locations, this was the most featureless of them all. They’ve tried to make a strip mall prefab like some of the iconic locations and failed. So, pre-booked, pre-paid including %18 mandatory gratuity, and quite honestly thoroughly “ugh” holiday dinner. NOT a Merry Christmas after all. Chris

I have dined at other Hard Rock locations in previous years so we wanted to try this location. The live music was excellent, service was phenomenal, food was good, and drinks were good. Downside was the price of those drinks and the food wasn't up to the level I expected.
