    We made a reservation for a pre-theater dinner. Our sever Leanne was terrific understanding our time line and was super accommodating. She knew the menu and made some nice suggestions. We shared the crispy sprouts appetizer, which were delicious and large enough for a meal. We ordered the Cajun chicken risotto special and shrimp scampi as entrees. Again delicious and too huge to finish. Highly recommend both. Prices are very reasonable. Would recommend.

    I stopped by this spot, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint! The food was good, flavorful, and fresh. Every bite had me wanting more. The drinks were good too—well-mixed, smooth, and just the right amount of kick. Definitely not watered down! And the music? Perfect vibe. It set the mood without being too loud or overwhelming. Overall, a solid experience. Would I come back? Absolutely.
