    Outstanding service. The food was tasty but want as hot as it could have been. The fingerling potatoes were fantastic.

    We love going to this place when going to the Paramount for a show. The food is outstanding and the service was great. Special “Wicked” drinks made it fun. Get the steak frites… 🤩

    Great dips for appetizers, very average entree salads, cocktail was not good (had a $17 old fashioned that was so sweet I couldn't finish it), service was average. Prices were very high for what it was, we chose it mostly because it was close to the Paramount theater. Would go back for appetizers probably wouldn't do dinner again.

    The place and atmosphere is very nice, the service was great. The pasta board is an amazing idea, but it wasn’t good; it looked awesome. But I really wish it tasted better. On a good side tiramisu was exceptionally delicious.
