    Reservation booked a month in advance for main dining room was not honored. We were instead seated in back room at a low couch table for 6 instead of for 2. Definitely disappointing.

    Other than the obnoxious table party next to us, it was great experience. The service was efficient and the food and drinks were very good.

    It would be nice on the nights with entertainers if patrons were asked to keep sound levels down so those who are there to listen can enjoy the music. The food and service were great. Overall prices were a little high.

    We enjoyed the Valentines meal overall, however it was overpriced for what we actually received. My steak was a 5 out of 10, no flavor and didn't taste like a quality filet. Honestly, just having salt and pepper at the table would be a huge plus. What restaurant doesn't have that?? The drinks were the stand out, we each had one cocktail as we had a show to get to. Everything was brought out in a timely manner and they were super busy so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
