    They prioritize quantity over quality. Proportions were big but not great just mediocre. Also, the seating is a problem too many tables are stuck in corners. Crowded together in the atmosphere is way too loud now we have eaten there before and it was much better, but we will not be returning.

    Food ( pairings somewhat questionable) and atmosphere were good. Server was sweet, but not well trained. For a restaurant that is striving for a high end feel, they need to train their staff on proper vocabulary, etiquette and customer service. The servers apparently have not tasted the menu (i inquired) and have no knowledge of what they’re serving They were attentive but no polish. Convenience before the show was the saving grace.

    Had the Red Fish. Was great. Wife had the chicken and it was very dry. Service good but very noisy. Wine incredibly over priced for a 6 oz glass. Bottle of Caymus everyday retail is $68 - 70. Y’all want $230. Seriously!

    The weather was quite chilly, and I didn't have high expectations for this place; however, I was pleasantly surprised. Since I’m doing Dry January, I didn’t get to try the cocktail menu, which looked great. We had reservations at 5:45 PM and a show to attend at 7:30 PM, yet we still had plenty of time to enjoy dessert and coffee. I would love to visit again during warm weather, as they have an outdoor patio with small tables that would be lovely on a warm evening. While many have said it was pricey, I found the prices fair by today’s standards, especially considering the convenience of being attached to the theater. I had a pasta dish that was quite rich and the sauce was a bit too thick but my husband had the redfish entree and said it was delicious. I also had the poached pear salad and was surprised it was much larger than I anticipated, since it was ordered as a side I could not finish.

    Our first visit to this venue, and I must say it was SPECTACULAR! I enjoyed a poached pear salad with toasted walnuts and blue cheese crumbles; and a bowl of Italian sausage with roasted onions, fennel, and garlic. OMG, it was SO GOOD!

    This was our first time eating here. We had theater tickets and thought it would be convenient to have dinner here first. Cocktails were great , the dinner salad was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed my entree. I had the red fish and my husband had trout. He didn’t particularly like his fish. The dessert was amazing as well. We will definitely go back

    Read a lot of bad stuff on the service but the staff was great for us. Very attentive. The food was okay but the big draw is that the location being inside the theater. The most delicious was the artichoke and spinach dip. The prime rib and trout were good but nothing special for the price.

    The service was great, but, when I asked for the check, instead of handing me the card machine so I could look it over and pay, our server went through every item and announced the total. Not everyone wants the table to know the total cost so I don’t think that’s a good practice. Also, the 10 ounce strip steak was cooked perfectly but about 4 ounces of it was the fat on the outside. It is a nice place to drink and / or eat before a show though.

    I love going to Diane American Grill! The food and service is exceptional. My husband is in a wheelchair and they (Carmen) assisted us throughout the show as well as inning back to the theater and taking us to our seats. It was awesome. We ate season ticket holders and dine there every show. They never disappoint!
