I eat here frequently and this is the first time I have ever given Marti"s a rating less than 5. The main course was not particularly good, with the pasta sticky and rubbery and the outer artichoke leaves unchewable. On a lesser note, both of the last two times I've eaten there, the soups were a bit too salty.

The cocktail - espresso martini was terrible. None of the dishes on the Prix fixe menu were very good. Carrot bisque was salty and no carrot flavor. The steak Diane was also salty and the meat did not have a fresh flavor. The chicken piccata was not flavorful and surrounded by a bed of noodles that were bland. The desserts were just ok. The chocolate cake was pasty and too sweet. It was expensive and poor quality. You pay for the convenience of being next to the theater with a great view. But not worth the price.

The price of the mimosas went from $5 to $8 to $12 over a two year span. Wish you would make the food portions less and reduce the mimosas back to $8.
