    Fun, Lively atmosphere. Our server did a great job, food was decent, what you would expect. Female vocalist was outstanding, as well as instrumental. Only disappointment was that we had three seperate song request each offed with tips but none of the 3 were played, or even mentioned.

    We arrived 10 till our reservation time. The front security guy wasn't kind. Felt like we were being treated like teenagers (we are in nour 40s) telling us to get out without a smile and saying they aren't ready. No upscale restaurant would treat their guest that way. Plus the early show was upstairs which didn't have the beauty of the first floor. Not what I was hoping for four out moms night out. The wait staff was great and food was good. For a place that seems to attract a older crowd they should treat their guest better at the door.

    This was my first time at a piano bar and this was not what I expected. I believe it used to be more of like a dueling piano type setting. This was more like a band playing on stage which isn’t what I was looking for. We didn’t get food so I can give a review on that. Drinks were fine. The one pianist that was singing while we were there was beyond wasted. She was terrible but the first female was a lot better (we caught the end of her set, unfortunately.)

    We went with a group of friends for my birthday, and it was an amazing time! The service was absolutely stellar—attentive and friendly. The drinks were creative and so much fun, adding to the lively atmosphere. The piano duel was really entertaining and kept the energy high all night. Definitely a great spot for a fun night out!"

    Great piano bar with alternating players to keep it fresh. Great variety of music styles and types. Players were fun with great attitudes and strong vocal ranges.
