    I went with some friends, the music was excellent “the Talk of the Town” and the food so yummy, I got from the cafe “poke bowl with smoked salmon” delicious, definitely I’ll order that again.

    Good Club Bistro menu with your usual favorites plus a few extra items on top of the blackboard specials. Not a local so joined to take advantage of the member prices, money back with just 2 meals, extra savings at the bar. Large spacious meals area, quite a few families there with kids being kids but it is a club. Meals are delivered to your table by very friendly staff - generous servings and good value!

    My meal was delicious, I had the Ravioli but the waiting time was long. My husband and other couple had finished their meal when I got mine. I understand that it was a busy night but I ordered at 6.30 and received my meal at 7.30. Therefore did not get very good seats for the show.

    Unfortunately my pasta dish looked great but was tasteless. Parts of the fish that my family member had was undercooked.
