   Overpriced, slow service. Waited almost 90 minutes for a mediocre salad. Wouldn’t go again.

   Went here for Valentine’s Day and thought it was okay. Our server Sam was AMAZING. He was attentive and so kind. I did not think the quality of the food or portions was worth $180. I wish we could have done the regular menu like other people were doing, but we didn’t know that was an option. I thought the ambience was going to be more dim and romantic, but it was so bright and loud in there. Overall, the service was great, but I would only come back to try the regular menu.

   We went here for Valentines Day and the service was understandably slow but incredibly kind when he did check back up on us. Our issue was with the food. I ordered the Magnolia Power Salad but they brought me the Garden Salad (which is actually more of a Southwest salad) and on top of that, the meat on my salad was cold by the time it got to me. For a $32 salad I’d expect something more innovative than what I could get at McAllister‘s for $12. My boyfriend got the Alfredo pasta with shrimp and said it was decent in the moment but woke up in the night with stomach pain. The house Chardonnay tasted like it had been open for a while, heavy vinegar taste. For what we got, the price was outlandish. If you want a high quality meal, go to the Cottonwood Chophouse where you actually get what you pay for. Giving two stars because the building itself is beautiful and our server was very nice.

   Daughter and I had dinner before a Sunday night show at the Orpheum. We both had salmon (very good, perfectly cooked), shared a bottle of wine and a slice of cake for dessert. Staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. I may tell Hubs we need to check it out for date night and try some other menu items.

   Food has always been delicious! Today we dined on Caesar Salad (with Chicken) & Maude’s Garden Salad (with Chicken) . Both plates were large portions & satisfying but we were not overly stuffed. Our wait staff was friendly & timely.

   I have been dining there, before Orpheum shows, for over 15 years and have experienced many of the changes. I really enjoy the recent renovation. Our server today was awesome (which is not always the case). I am having a hard time with the increase in pricing (I know it is necessary.) I would like to be able to order a soup/salad/sandwich combo, or a charcuterie board when I am not very hunger.

    Love going here prior to seeing a show at the Orpheum. The bartender is a true artist!
