I thought the food had a lot of flavor. Our server was attentive and our dishes came out quickly. We went here prior to seeing a play at Paramount and it was a short walk.

Great dips for appetizers, very average entree salads, cocktail was not good (had a $17 old fashioned that was so sweet I couldn't finish it), service was average. Prices were very high for what it was, we chose it mostly because it was close to the Paramount theater. Would go back for appetizers probably wouldn't do dinner again.
