    Disappointed. We’ve been here multiple times before and decided to have dinner before the comedy show. We waited almost an hour for our mains and the main comic we came to see was a no show.

    The doors were locked when we got there for our 11:15 reservation, they were supposed to be open at 11. The food was cold, the check time from the kitchen was really long, didn’t seem like the kitchen staff was even there. To get us into the restaurant, we had to walk through the service entry.

    Food was fine but the staff just did an awful job on the show. Their website was confusing. They said they would do their best to help us but their actions showed they did not care. Just incredibly disappointing.

    I was seated and served quickly and my food came out fast. Shrimp Cocktail presented well and nice large shrimp. Asparagus should have been trimmed better as the lower portion was not feasible. Main pasta dish was good.
