    Black Excellence! It was my birthday and me and four of my friends enjoyed dinner before enjoying a play at Paramount. They sang a soulful Happy Birthday, the food was seasoned to perfection. Service was swift and polite. Absolutely perfect experience.

    As visitors from New Zealand, we really enjoyed our evening here. The venue was just around the corner from our hotel and the online booking process was easy - we booked 24 hours in advance, choosing the early (dinner) session. It was great for us to see Harvey Mandel and his band live - although he must now be in his late seventies at least, he has lost none of his guitar technique or ability to let it rock. We had a choice of tables and opted for one near the front, which gave us a good view of the stage. The quality of the food was surprisingly good and exceptionally good value. A brilliant selection of craft beer too. One final bonus - the sound level was just right - not too loud for us two oldies.
