    I thought the service was subpar. Our Mains came to the table before our salads so I sent them back. I know they sent the same plate of food back to our table 10 mins later. It’s a shame it’s a great location when seeing a show at the hobby center

    What a wonderful place to have a meal before seeing a show at the Hobby Center. The service was excellent very attentive. Food over all was excellent, be prepared to pay close to $75-100 per person if you want a great meal. Since we were not that hungry and didn't want to bring home a doggy bag, my daughter and I split the meal. We ordered the cream of mushroom soup (which our waitress had split in the kitchen), lobster mac and cheese and the prime rib for roughly $44. The soup was very good, mild tasting, the mac and cheese was good might not order again because again it was mild. The prime rib was superb ordered rare, not sure again if $44 was worth it but again need to take into consideration that we were at a restaurant that was inside the Hobby center, so you need to be willing to pay more for convenience. Would definitely eat there again if we attend another show.

    Perfect before the theatre next door. They are always quick without sacrificing quality or excellent service. Even with a 12:00 reservation and a show at 1:00, we had plenty of time to eat, visit, and enjoy.

    Food was so salty it was not enjoyable. Food is way overpriced for the quality. Basically paid for the convenience of eating at the Hobby pre theater. Very disappointing meal.

    The food was good. We booked a table early enough to have time to enjoy dinner. Our cocktails took longer because of a large group ordering at the same time which was not a big deal. Unfortunately, our main course was delivered at the same time we received our cocktails. We would have liked to enjoy the cocktails first and visit before starting to eat right away. The dessert came within 4 minutes after they cleared the table, again, why are they rushing people? Views from the restaurant are great, unfortunately, we felt rushed. For a restaurant with these prices ($200 for two people with only one drink, one main course and one dessert each), that is pretty bad.

    The food was really off last night. The lobster Mac and cheese was over done. Dry. I do not think the lobster was fresh because it smelled very fishy. Our first outing at this restaurant was great but this time around not so much.

    We waited 30 minutes until one server acknowledged our presence, gave us water and told our assigned server to take our order. The first thing she said was "sorry I didn't know this was my table" after that she continued ignoring us. Never clean the empty dishes and took her time to gave us the check. I never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant before.

    We were looking forward to trying Diane for pre-theater dinner, but after reading some of the reviews, we were a bit apprehensive. But we were pleasantly surprised....terrific food and excellent service with prompt and attentive service. We had martinis shrimp cocktail, swordfish steak, and steak, each prepared perfectly. Well be back

    Great time sitting at the bar before show for quick dinner. Armon (sp) is among the best bartender/servers we have ever been around. In a very busy scene he is attentive and always makes us feel welcome. Always a repeat for us.

    When you pay over $200 for a bottle of wine you would expect good glassware, number one; and number tow someone who knows how to present the bottle, allow for you to tase and approve, before the pour into the glasses. None of those were present

    We chose for the convenience as we were attending a show in the Hobby Center and this is within the same complex. However next time we will go elsewhere. The food was edible but very mediocre, drinks service was very,very slow, we didn’t actually receive our wine to accompany our meal. The dining room and bar area are nice and noise level was good, conversation was not a struggle. We felt that the check wasn’t really reflective to the very average quality of food and service.

    The prime rib was about 1/3 fat and 1/3 had that shiny scaly look that I was afraid to eat. I only ate a few bites. The house salad was very good.
