    It was restaurant week we got there right when the opened and our waiter was prompt and advised us to put in all three courses at one time so they would come out quickly since they were goin to get busy. So we did. But each course took a while to come out The first course I got lamb stew it was hot and delicious. The second course I got the fried shrimp it was hot and crispy and the sauce was good. The entree I got the petite filet and scallops and mashed potato’s and asparagus. It was cold the butter didn’t even melt on the filet. The scallops didn’t even look like the were seared, no flavor. The filet did taste good but I believe it would have been better hot and the butter melted.

    Food was not worth what I paid. 18% gratuity is automatically added when the party is more than 1. Tax was insane on the meal as well. Took over an hour for my food to come out and once it did, it was cold. Asked for compensation for mine and my boyfriends meals, (totalling $167), and was only given a $25 gift card. I don’t recommend the place.

    Overall good experience for my first time. Took a chance on the veggie meatloaf & it was very flavorful just a tad salty! Live piano music was a nice touch! I’d definitely go back!

    We were there for restaurant week. Seated at 5:45pm and didn’t leave there until 8:20pm. Food was very slow to come out. Had a ribeye which was good but the potatoes were cold. Must of been a staff problem. Loved being there though. Will definitely return. Didn’t mind anything it was fun being there and the other guests made it more enjoyable.

    1 and 1/2 hours sitting at our table and all we were served was our salad. Asked for pepper for the Ceasars salad and was given plastic kitchen dispensers of salt and pepper. Server was inattentive and surly. Told server we needed to leave and to cancel dinner and bring our check. He still added the 18% gratuity. Asked for manager who seemed clueless as how to handle. Worst dining ( is it really dining if you don't eat?l experience there in 15 years. We were not the only ones with a ridiculous wait for food. Bad not for Gershwins.

    We arrived at 5:25. We had a show to be at for 8. We sat down to a lovely table setting for our anniversary and complimentary champagne. The server was great. However, even after choosing the "show menu" we didn't get our food till 7:25!! Others in restaurant left because they wouldn't have bough time to eat. Food was good but we had to eat so fast so we could make show. It shouldn't take 2 hours for a meal at that cost. Was very disappointed.

    Wonderful service and food! Henry Wilkins, the piano man, MADE THE NIGHT. I want to get a job there just to hear him all the time! Such a great entertainer; bangers, all bangers!
