    Food was outstanding, served in a timely fashion, and hot. Servers were prompt, knew the menu and made suggestions when asked. Not inexpensive, but a good value and the opera performances were great. Highly recommend reservations, place was packed.

    I went here with three friends for my birthday celebration. The food and the service did not disappoint you. The bonus was in the entertainment of our waiters singing operatic arias. Of course they also sang happy birthday to me, which was an added bonus.
