    Chicken sandwich definitely a bang for your buck. Jasmine Spritz is the only thing you should be drinking.

    Food was mediocre at best , service was good . Burger was just served on a tiny plate and looked like a burger you get on a summer BBQ.

    The appetizers were delicious and served promptly. However, the dinner went straight downhill from there. Our waiter ignored us for almost an hour, did not bring us our salads, and eventually brought us very cold chicken and salmon entrees. The manager apologized for the delay but then charged us for one of the cold entrees. Very disappointed!!

    It seemed like we were forgotten, which seemed hard to do since we were sitting behind the register. We ran out of drinks (cocktails and water) and waited 90 minutes for our entrees. Had to completely skip the dessert I paid for with the pre-show meal to make it to the show in time. The food was mostly ok but I’ll find another dinner spot next time.

    Excellent service and good food. Burgers are small but portions for other entrees were decent. A bit overpriced.

    We had a delicious dinner with the family. They had a pre theater menu, which looked great, but we decided to order A La carte. The NY strip was great. Wedge Salad and Burrata plates were so good and perfect for sharing. Kara was our wonderful server and even brought a little dessert for my daughter’s birthday.

    We dined here about a year ago. The food, drinks, and service were just as excellent as last time. Our drinks had more festive floral garnish last year, but they still tasted fantastic. Highly recommended!
