    Good time overall! The only thing that could have made it “Great!”was if we’d been able to hear one another speaking at the table. It was a bit noisy as we were seated right next to a large, loud, boisterous group! Our server, Chase, was very attentive and charmed us with his rendition of a Gianni Schicchi aria! All server singers were fabulous and added to our enjoyment of the evening! The food was excellent as always!!

    Amazing experience 10/10! Had a wonderful server named Joseph who was great and in addition the hostess Eva was absolutely the best host ever. She was so sweet and very accommodating and both her and Joseph sang beautifully!

    We had a great time celebrating our anniversary with my wife and kids. The food was excellent and the singing was a delicious treat to our ears. We were also excited to see the Rocky memorabilia, and we found it upstairs and we all enjoyed taking pictures there too.
