Service and food were great (considering). Only two servers on staff and we were there for the pre show rush. Servers and support staff did great (Sat6/28), but made the environment a little frenetic. Cocktails were all pretty solid and were balanced on the drier side. The milk punch with pineapple and brandy was on the thinner side and lacked the viscosity/richness expected, but flavors were still good. We had a nice meal and made it to our show on time.
