Reservation was made for 3 people for 5:30 for The Loft. When we arrived we were informed that The Loft was not open, we would have to sit downstairs in The Carriage House and have the price fix menu for $65 per person. Couldn’t someone have called or texted me eith this info? We did not want the price fix. After arguing gently with the hostess she stated we could have both menus. We were seated at a table for four that was do tight to the table behind us that I could barely get into my seat because I was up against the woman at the table behind me. The “bar” menu was just ok. I ordered the personal pizza which was flavorless and dull. My daughter in law ordered a burger which looked decent. The best part of the meal was the French fries. Burger, tiny pizza, fries, 3 wines and 2 coffees - over $160. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Extremely tight tables, mediocre food, absolutely nothing impressive. There are too many options in town near the theatre that are far superior for dinner.

We had an outstanding 3 course dinner last night. Everything was wonderful, from great service, to the creative menu choices, and delicious food. I wish I could have the same meal again! It was a memorable evening, and one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Really enjoyed our meal before the theater. The menu offerings were delicious and there was a wide variety for different appetites. The restaurant will be missed during the time it will’s be closed for renovations.

Brandon was our server and was cordially consistent through out our meal. The food was superb. Only downfall, the bathrooms in the Carriage House were out of service, and guests needed to walk over to the Playhouse. Fortunately it wasn’t raining.
