"We had a reservation for 8:30 p.m. and when we got there we were the only people in the place. There weren't many food choices, as they were out of many of the selections; however, what we did get was excellent. Service, was excellent (as we would expect being the only customers). :)"

"Fun historic photos/momentos and good music weren't enough to offset spotty/slow service and skimpy/bland food. There are better choices in nearby Power & Light District."

"I've been wanting to try the Drum Room ever since it reopened a few years ago; however, I must say that both the food and the decor were disappointing. They know how to braise short ribs, I'll give them credit for that much, but the accompanying sauces and garnish left much to be desired."

"We went late. The appetizer was great we had the scallops and it was cooked perfectly. The wine and beer selection was more than plentiful and we both got just what we wanted. I got the blue note salad and it was very good, I think it is the first time I have ever had or even heard of smoked blue cheese, this is a fantastic idea,the mixed greens with a blueberry vinagrete smoky blue cheese nice job there. Both of our entree's sounded good on the menu but obviously we were wrong. I had the chicken carbonara I got it because the fried poached egg on top of it sounded good and it was but that was all that was good in it. Wife got the crab cakes and said it was just ok felt like she was eating flowers to many flavor profiles."
