    Intention was dinner before the theatre and it worked out perfectly. One of our group was gluten free and the menu worked for them as well. Good food, good company and it met our timeline to get to the theatre.

    We have been here before...The food is quite good and this time we had a terrific server..The gents' name is Leander and was simply a pleasure to deal with...Will ask for him again...That is for certain... One other point..They have had an issue with repairing their Cappucino machine for YEARS...It is so ridiculous that we laughed when we found out that the issue lives...For this chain to just buy a new machine is truly a disgrace. Also I am certain they lose a lot of after dinner business in regard to desserts and coffee and it leaves a bad feeling to end the dinner...

    The food was delicious. Our server was lovely, but the appetizers came out with the dinners, and timing was off. Drinks took a long time to get to the table.
