    We had a great Thanksgiving dinner! Went with my husband Andy in-laws. Our waiter Marty was so amazing! We opted on for the Thanksgiving Dinner that was $40/person +tax and tip! It was a great deal!

    The food was great. The staff was great. They didn't know what was going on with the reservation at first but figured it out and made us comfortable the whole time. I would definitely go back if in the area.

    UPDATE: Following my initial review, Hard Rock immediately reached out to apologize for our experience and make things right. I look forward to giving the restaurant another chance with a hopefully improved experience. If nothing else, the level of customer service provided in having management personally reach out to rectify a less-than-stellar experience went a long way in my book. Unfortunately not impressed with this restaurant or the dining experience at all. Hard Rock Cafe was identified as a “partner restaurant” for the National Theatre and based on experiences at their other locations, our party expected something more. What we got was a grungy-feeling restaurant, tables that were jammed in (but empty), and mediocre food.

    I had a big party and the service was great. I ordered a flat bread and a bowl with salmon. The margarita flat bread was larger than I expected and was really delicious. I tasted the bowl but brought it home because I was full. The rest of the party enjoyed their food as well. They ordered ribs, fries, nachos, burgers and the Messi chicken sandwich, and salmon. Looking forward to going back.

    Our experience was really bad, the server took too much time to bring our plates and there were just 2/3 Tables in all the restaurant so it was not crowded to take too much time in our orders. I made the reservation and I indicated that was a bday celebration and the server told me that all the personal were gone to celebrate singing a bday so just gave me an ice cream. Poor quality of food and drinks and service.
