Experience was great, and the musicians are so talented. They can literally play anything! You will not regret going here. Songs are played based on monetary amount given. Get your picks in early for a lower amount. Price increases as night goes on. $40 is the average and will likely be what it takes to hear your pick.

If you have never experienced this place you have to go! The energy of the whole place was awesome and the talent that was on stage was amazing! I was blown away by the fact that the 4 musicians were able to transition to so many different instruments throughout the night. I would highly advise reserving a table prior to that evening, they fill up quick. I can't forget the wait staff they were amazing as well and very attentive throughout the whole experience.

Limited menu…it was more like a kids menu. Once the show started, it was great! Next time we’ll have a decent dinner elsewhere and then just come for the show.

The drums were way too loud. If they were not, perhaps we could have heard the pianos. And maybe the singers would be better if they could hear themselves sing. We left after an hour. Overall, the place was dirty, the drinks expensive and the entertainment was meh.

The food was great, the service was awesome, it was just a bit loud. Overall we were pleased with the experience, keep up the good work!

Let me start by saying the entertainment was amazing. The waitress and bill was and is out of control. Lara the waitress was waiting on us with slurred slow speech and closed eyes and now both parties 2people) my table have 6 separate charges totaling like $500. They have called and emailed the business but closed until Friday! Disputed with the bank and cancelled the cards. One of the 6 charges would be right per person. Not sure what’s goin on here……

...it was a fun experience. The service was great. Didn't enjoy our pizza, it was bland and half baked. But our waiter tried to accommodate us with another pizza, so that was cool. Great for groups. If you sit next to the windows it can get cold with the air vent flow. The male musicians were great and talented. They do need a female, LOL. But we'd definitely go again. Show starts at 8...

Overall the experience was okay, it wasn't quite what we were expecting. Rather than just piano's they have a whole band there playing. The musicians were good but the sound quality at the venue was so-so which made it just okay. The waitress charged our whole party for doubles without telling us so our bill was higher than expected, that was a little sketch. Food was as expected for a place like this - edible.

My friends and I go here every year for a girls trip. We have always had a great time when we go. Music is great and atmosphere is super happy and I like that there’s diversity in both staff and guests. We always feel safe here. Highly recommended for a friends trip or even a date night.

Reserved a table to celebrate my friends birthday. Very fun and energetic. The band and singers were phenomenal. My only negative comment is that you kinda have to be prepared to pay big cash $$$ in order for your song to be played by the band, which we didn’t plan because we were splurging more on food and drinks. Our service attendant was very sweet and prompt with drinks and submitting our food orders. Kitchen was running a bit behind but it was fairly packed so it’s understandable. Will plan to come back soon.

$10 cover charge was okay. $10 for three swallows of wine was not. Drinks were overpriced! Food was fair and if I ever found myself going back I would eat before I go. Bartenders and waitstaff were great and attentive. The staff playing the instruments were very good at playing but the singing was mediocre at best. The noise level is so high you can't talk to your table mates and if you don't wear ear plugs you will have ringing in your ears for at least a day. It doesn't have to be so loud and if you frequent this place on a regular basis you will have hearing loss due to it! If you are easily offended by vulgar language, you should not go. If you don't like heavy metal and sometimes 'dark' songs, you should not go. It is called a "dueling" piano bar but there is no dueling. It is just people taking turns to play a song. If you want to make a request you need to tip $20 or more to hear your song. Some people tipped $50-$100 per song. We didn't have a bad time but I would not choose to go back on my own.
