   Food was good though the portions are much smaller than a couple of years ago when we went. We went there before a performance at the Aronoff. Even though it is very convenient to the theater I'm not sure they can handle the crowd that comes in prior to the show. We had 5:45 reservations for a 7:30 show. They said they were down a server but it still was very slow. Sat there for over 15 minutes before we were able to order drinks. We felt rushed to order everything at once since we weren't sure when the server would return. We had to skip dessert because we feared it would take too long. It then took over 10 minutes once we gave them our credit card to return to the table so we could leave. We love the ambiance but it might be better to go there when you don't have a time crunch.

   Our service was excellent with Lance. He did a great job. The beet salad and shishito pepper appetizer were delicious. My wife’s fish was perfect but my fish. The atmosphere is really fun with the yellow penguins.

   Service was great! We had our 5 year old with us, which can be a buzz kill. But our server treated him great and made him feel special w a cherry sprite. Food was fantastic, we had the grilled octopus as an app-delicious! Dinner was delicious. Thank you!

   Quality of the overall experience was very good, but not exceptional. Food items offered were quite adequate and tasty. Staff were willing to assist diners and professional - very amenable. Asked if attending theater after dining and ensured meal timing accomodated.

   The ambiance was lovely. Our seats were perfect for our date: at the corner of the booths, where we could be right next to each other. I had the “Of the Gods” cocktail, and my boyfriend had the Manhattan; both were otherworldly. Jeremy was our server and he was amazing. All the food was delicious as well, and we left very full, with a slice of cheesecake for later. We really enjoyed our night; it was a special occasion for us, and we were very happy with our experience.

   We had a nice dinner before a show. Our server was fantastic in describing the menu items and wine selections. We had the peppers, salmon and octopus starters which were amazing. This was followed with the arugula and ceasar salad also wonderful. We split the short rib dinner… very good. The portions were much larger than last time we were there several years ago.
