    We really enjoyed this restaurant and the burgers were great! But the staff and service was...odd. One waiter stood and talked to a table for quite awhile while some of us were waiting to be served. He seemed oblivious to others except that table. Another waiter was running around like a maniac and when we asked if we could have a heater he obliged but seemed annoyed. When we thanked him he didn't even look at us. I recommend this place for the food and ambience but not the wait staff.

    Very high noise level! Our waitress was excellent…but she had too many tables to service! Despite that, she got us out in time for the opera…which is right next door! Loved the convenient location!

    Had a terrific meal prior to attending a show at the Court Cabaret. The pasta with clams, shrimp and mussels was awesome.

    I had the lobster risotto and the pistachio bread pudding.....everything was delicious, and it is around the corner from the opera house which makes a dinner before an opera convenient.

    Attended Umbellas before an Opera performance next door. Food and Service were great. Yet, the ambiance was lost because of a 30 somethings meetup in the Courtyard. Wish we could have been seated elsewhere

    Before the opera and restaurant was packed!! 4th time here. First time good , outside . ..2nd time great ... inside ..3rd off nite .. chef took a powder so figure we would try again. This time outside and very busy.. we had 2hrs before opera but they were slow at first.. when we explained we were going to the opera they definitely stepped things up and other than a cheese mistake on the salad all was good.. sitting outside is just so lovely! The safest thing that is great are the lettuce wraps.. I had the short rib which was very good..the escargot my friend was good then the scallops! Yum. Salad real good. Snapper another guest had was ok..
