This was perhaps the first restaurant I truly just walked out on. While our appetizer and drinks were decent, the service was slow, the waiter was more concerned with gabbing with the hostess. The entrees were, frankly, revolting. The meat was grey and slimy, it clearly had been microwaved or not cooked in a pan or grill. Would not recommend ever going back, the waiter was embarrassed to have served the food, it was clear when I called them out on the preparation method. He offered a discount on the dinner but did not comp any of the meal. Giant disappointment.

Great restaurant for after theater. The menu was varied enough that we had a choice of smaller bites to full-size dinner. We had great service even thought they were super busy! Will definitely go there again.

My family and I went before seeing a play at the Keller. We had a great table in the middle so we were able to do some really good people watching. Frank was our server and he was amazing. Super friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed all of our meals and shared the flourless chocolate cake that was sublime. Will for sure be back!
