My wife and I went for dinner before a show. Reservations were easy, we valet parked (and the hotel was very busy, but the valets were on their game) we were welcomed when we walked in, seated where we could hear the piano player. Food was excellent,,I had the Buccatini and Clams my wife had shrimp and grits and we split the Harvest salad. Everything was great.
