    Nice place, good value for money, food was really tasty and staff friendly. Did not love the cocktails. But may be a question of taste.

    3 of my friends and I went for 2 of our birthdays last night. We had such a great experience that we stayed way longer than we expected and weren’t rushed at all. Really good food and great wait staff experience. Definitely a good neighborhood spot (yes I know it’s a chain)

    WHAT A GREAT NIGHT THIS WAS! I had heard about Dueling Pianos but had never been. I went by myself, not knowing if I would fit in, or stand out. The staff welcomed me as soon as I arrived. They escorted me to my table, and the show (a whopping 3 hours, nonstop) was a whirlwind of music and comedy. People sang along to everything from Jay Z to Abba, Miley Cyrus to The Beatles, and they had dance contests, celebrations for a birthday, and showcased the virtuoso talents of the performers on multiple instruments. The food was superlative, and far above what I was expecting for a "show room". Get the calamari - perfectly crispy. Also had the tiramisu - and I am picky about my tiramisu. You will NOT be disappointed. Big shout out to Stephanie the manager, and Mark the host, both of whom saw to my (and every guests) needs during the evening, both musical and culinary. Next time, I am coming back with friends!
