The wine was wonderful and Brittany gave amazing service and was so kind! I was in by myself while I waited for a friend and she provided great service while also chatting with me and making me feel comfortable. I will definitely be back!

The whole experience was great. The service was outstanding very tentative. The atmosphere was great. Everyone was very friendly. I only got the mission of having someone very tall in front of me other than that it was great.

If you're coming for the food, it's great. If you're coming to have fun watching your favorite band, go someplace else.
The English Beat is one of the funnest bands to dance to, but you need a dance floor for that to happen and they don't have one.
Even the band seemed surprised that no one could dance. You essentially have to stay seated at a dinner table for the entire show.
It honestly felt like a money grab since there were tables all the way to the stage. It was less about seeing your favorite band and all about the food and drink minimums.

Decent food, great service and an intimate venue for shows. When we arrived and actually saw our ticketed seats, we asked to move to better seats and the staff quickly accommodated. That made our experience for the show so much better.

I'm going to have to separate my thoughts on the show from those of the venue. The show (Cold & Edison) was amazing, easily in my top ten. For the venue, it looked nice, sound quality was surprisingly good, and the staff was friendly. A drawback is that the seating arrangement sucks but they have to do it the way they do to maximize audience volume. The pricing is straight piracy. Didn't catch this when I bought the ticket (wouldn't have mattered), but each person has a $25 minimum, so for 2 people, $50 minimum. The food was alright and very overpriced ($14 for a plate of regular fries?). Here is the breakdown: the venue food/drinks are overpriced but it is still a very nice, intimate venue which I will probably go to again (but I'll be eating before hand).
