All foods ordered were pretty tasty. They had a lot of bourbons and high end alcohol (though I just had some wine). The server was really friendly, fun and informative. What I thought was meh: The location is sortuv in a theater, which was weird. The restaurant felt more like a bar than a restaurant, with seating in a galley shaped large room dominated by the central bar. What I could do without: The prices...some entrees were up in the $65.00 range which I thought was a bit much when the burger was affordable at about $21.00. Just all over the place prices. Take home: Good meal, but I might try another place next time.

IMO they are charing about a 30% more than it is worth. Service was great, and the Ambiance and Noise level was good. I will probably not eat here again though.
