    The service was first rate and attentive. Great recommendations from the wait staff that hit the spot. Loved the appetizers. The olives were fabulous. Would've chosen a different bread service spread. We had the garlic aioli. Likely would go with black truffle butter next time. The pasta was fabulous & the drinks good. Decent value for the meal we got at the price point we paid. We will go back before our next Kraken game.

    We had an early dinner prior to a show at the Paramount. Had great service from James! His first question was any alllergies to be aware of? And a follow up question to specifically understand my allergy. As someone who often has to have multiple ingredients removed, I had a delicious salad with grilled shrimp with only goat cheese removed. It was delicious and satisfying. The profiteroles with huckleberry ice cream and my husbands bread pudding are two of many things that will bring us back again. Bonus that the desserts were served by Scott, the executive chef. 😁
