Food was really good, restaurant had an old elegant feel about it. Kind of like what I like imagine elegant restaurants from the 70’s looked like. Tables were close and tight as far as space between other tables. Server/waiter was decent and service was pretty quick. Definitely make a reservation as restaurant was packed this Saturday evening. I will come back! There is a parking garage attached to building and parking was about 12.99.

All four of us enjoyed our food very much. The restaurant was full but not crowded and the servers were efficient and friendly. The decor is loud and busy with lots of lights. Well made cocktails and a very varied menu made for a great pre-theater evening.
