    Our server was excellent. Items on the menu not available. Candles not lit on the tables. Just feels worn and not maintained well.

    Ambiance and location are great. We had a salad, Brussels, and burrata appetizers. The spring rolls we wanted were already sold out. The Brussels were great, salad was good, but the burrata and the items on the tray with it had no flavor (minus the crostini- which was very crispy and tasty). The service was slow as far as getting another drink and waitstaff coming back to check on you, but the food did come quickly. It’s rough on a show night for staff and I think people get that. So I’d say it’s what you’d expect with a better than average atmosphere.

    The food was terrible, everything was greasy. This is the third time we have eaten here (out to convenience) to see a show and this will be the last. The restaurant was not busy so I would expect some attention to detail and basically everything we ordered was not good. The server asked how everything was and I gave her my honest response that it was not good. The response I received was "I am so sorry, can I get your check" To which I paid my entire bill and threw all of the food away. If you are going to run a restaurant with the look of a higher caliber then perhaps you invest in a chef?

    Everything was delicious, though maybe a little underdone on the potatoes or runny on the polenta.
