    Our server was great, but the hostess who sat us came back and asked us if we were ready to order yet, as though to ask 'can you hurry up and order, eat and get out of here so we can sit someone else'. We were in no hurry, but there was no one waiting for a table, with several still open.

    We usually dine here before going to The Orpheum. Tonight’s service was spot on!!! It seemed they were fully staffed. The crew always tries their best but many times in the past they have been short staffed. I know they get slammed on nights the Orpheum and tonight they were ready with a full staff!!

    Food was OK, but very overpriced for what you get. Menu online did not match what they had available in the restaurant that evening. Great drinks, but also very expensive. Very cute place and the service was excellent.
    Olive & Ira’sResponded on 29 August 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our drinks, the ambiance, and the service. What drinks did you have and which was your favorite? My favorite is our Starry Night, it's just missing a little glitter to give it that extra starry-ness. I apologize for the discrepancy between our online menu and the options available that evening. We’re currently working on updating our online listings to better reflect what’s available. Your comments on the pricing will also be taken into consideration as we strive to provide value for our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and offer an experience that exceeds your expectations.

    The blackened salmon was amazing. Brussel sprouts and asparagus were excellent. Good service and very quiet spot for dinner.

    2 of us arrived for a 6:00pm dinner reservation and we’re seated. A server did not come to our table until 6:10-6:15 PM. we ordered drinks and then placed our food order at approximately 6:20 PM at 7:10 PM or food had still not arrived at our table having tickets to an event at the Orpheum. We asked the server if they could check on the order she mentioned that a wedding was going on in the party room and therefore they were very busy. Our food arrived at 7:15 PM and we were only able to eat three or four bites before we decided to leave to get to our seats at the theater. The server was very apologetic, but it was not her fault the food took to be prepared.

    Service was excellent but a little slow. Food was excellent, atmosphere very nice. Easy walk to theater for show. I would go there again just to try more food on the menu and knowing it was so close to the venue and prices very reasonable.
