    The staff was very attentive & the food tasted very fresh. We had guacamole & chips, shrimp tacos & quesadillas but did not try any of their signature cocktails, though they looked very appealing. The location was very convenient to multiple Broadway theaters which we took advantage of to have pre-matinee lunch. They also have a cute cat robot that they use to deliver drinks, etc., quite a novelty for entertainment.

    They lost our ticket which took our food a long time to come out. But the manager did right by us. Otherwise food and drinks were very good and very cute place.
