    The food was amazing but we got stuck right next to the kitchen so we heard them prepare food for an hour and a half. BUT, our server, Kevin, was killer! He knew what we wanted to eat and then paired a nice red with our steaks. We had the Australian Wagyu ($70/filet as of 12/20/2024) with the mushrooms, scalloped potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. The veggies were 10/10 and the wagyu was 15/10. Check em out!

    It was an another great pre theater meal. As usual, Shelly kept things moving and got us out in plenty of time for the curtain. Food was excellent. Slight glitch with one order, but that was a kitchen issue and Shelley remedied it immediately. She really is excellent
