    The tempura cauliflower was delicious! Really nice jazz musician too. Our server, Emerson, was professional and food came out quickly. The coconut tres leches desert was tasty but the cake was a bit dry. Other than that a great experience and we will definitely be back.

    We absolutely love the theme dinners. The staff really get in to it and make the dining room shine! The chef and kitchen staff also seem to really enjoy introducing the menu items per course. Thr food and drink are always delicious. The valet people are also wonderfully patient and helpful when we have trouble with the app. Thank you all for making these nights out so special. Cheers!

    Slow service and the meal was slightly underwhelming. But it’s a bar in a hotel lobby. So who cares that much? 🤷‍♀️

    The food and service were excellent. Only reason for 4 stars was that we were there for dinner and show at ASU Gammage where you valet your car have dinner walk to the show and back after the show. The only issue was they only had one guy on valet after the show. Took 40 minutes to get the car. Kind of defeated the purpose.
