    Our wonderful birthday celebration could not have been more delightful, made even better by Julio’s charming and considerate service. He was super attentive and efficient, a real pro with a personality that was endearing without being overwhelming. The food was plentiful and superb, the pre theater menu is a real plus. The room was warm and welcoming and we had a great night!
