    This place is all about its location in the arts centre, a good place to go before the theatre. Our table wasnt ready which was strange but the manager was good, comped us a dish. They are obviously very busy for a short time so drinks took time. We had starters and small dishes (beets, cornbread, brie) which were good apart from the meatballs which were tasteless.

    It was ok. It will be our last time here before the Nutcracker. The food came out before the wine.. which meant it was already cooked and waiting for us. Not fresh.. unfortunately. Pretty disappointing, sadly.

    This was one of our best experiences dining with you. Food was well prepared and at appropriate temperatures-that has not always been the case.

    The food was stale, the place was dirty. The menu was very limited with only a few choices. Was once a decent place to go before the shows, but no longer, unless you’re not eating

    The cocktails are wonderful! We loved the goat brie, but the lamb ragu was not a favorite. Next time we will try something else for an entree. The staff is all very friendly!
