   Kenny G appeared and played Somewhere Over the Rainbow to a lady celebrating her 83rd birthday!

   The 20’s theme of the restaurant is beautiful and goes along with the wait staff in their 1920s costumes. It's a perfect setting to have something to eat or drink before the show. Delicious and affordable foods too!

   Our meal was outstanding. We had the Parmesan crusted white fish with potatoes & roasted vegetables which I believe was the best meal ever. We ate dinner in the Speakeasy before the show and would go back again for dinnet even if we weren't attending a show.

   Terrible service and the shrimp was rubbery. Even service recovery efforts flopped.

   This was the first time we’ve been to the Speakeasy but it most certainly won’t be the last. We had SO much fun! The food and cocktails were great, our server, Abby, was amazing and the entertainment was great! We danced and sang the night away! It be will definitely be on our list of places we will frequent more often and take guests!

   I absolutely loved this place!! The food was absolutely delicious! There is a very small menu to pick from but it is perfect for someone who doesn’t want to make a bunch of decisions. The service was amazing. my husband and I finished our dinner and then we talked for a little bit and then I went to the restroom and returned. Our waitress, had come up to me and started to apologize for forgetting about us. I know some might think that’s not good service. But I didn’t even realize we were forgotten about. I’ve been to restaurants where they forget about you and she did not in my opinion. Forget about us. She was available when we were ready for dessert. She was very sweet and gave us a discount anyways even though we told her she was just fine. She was working hard and all of the servers and waitresses are booking it in there. Make sure you tip kindly. They do a lot of work for you. You should go in remembering that this is an experience dinner. Not everything is ever perfect.  take the whole place in and all of its character, as well as the outfits that all of the staff wears. It really puts you in an energetic mood. We ordered the steak (there’s only one) we ordered it medium. It was absolutely delicious! Cooked to perfection! Potatoes and side veggies were amazing as well!! Drinks were delicious! They have a huge drink menu. There was live entertainment starting around 8 o’clock (entrance fee required) Three stories bottom floor restaurants,concert hall 2floor I think more entertainment 3rd floor restaurant and live entertainment in the evening. This place has everything and you are right by the river. Take a nice stroll after dinner. Great Ending to a great night. Thank you so much Allie for being our server. Take it easy and don’t ever lose your brightness!! You made our special night just that! You got this!!

   Our server was great! We celebrated 4 birthdays. Menu items for dinner was small. But the food we ordered was fantastic!!! The service was slower than we would think but the wait was worth it and we talked and visited and listened to music while we waited. And the server made up for anything that might have been slow. He again was so attentive. So nice and so on the ball!! We got some cannolis for a birthday treat. The cheers she was so good. And the music was very good. If you choose to stay after dinner. There is a $15. I we charge for the band. We were not done eating and we’re not asked for it. Highly recommend. The gnocchi on vodka sauce and the Charlie’s chicken and filet was wonderful

    Megan was outstanding. Vibe in room was high. Moe Carraro was singing Sinatra/Martin favorites. Dinner was great! Then saw Samantha Fish in main theater. On way to show ran into Ron Onesti who always takes time to chat! Philly and Cathie. Bartlett Illinois
