- QWQuinette W6 days ago4.0Overall very nice atmosphere. No seat is a bad seat when viewing the stage. HOWEVER, they used tables CLEARLY designed for two people and put 4 adult humans at each. We each literally had a corner.
- SSSierraNov 17, 20255.0I love it here. I’ve been here for Brunch So Funny a couple of times. The food is delicious, the service is good, and the atmosphere is a whole vibe!!! It’s pricey. $17 fries is wild to me. It is a big portion and they’re delicious. Easily spend $160 here for two if y'all are drinking. Parking is a pain but you can usually find a lot or garage nearby. I’m a street parker myself and usually requires driving around for a street spot. Great location in the Fashion District next to Chinatown.
- EPEmma PriceNov 15, 20251.0DO NOT EAT HERE. after ordering food and watching a show, there was at least one MOUSE running around where people were eating and drinking. we were told “it’s normal” so the managers working there obviously don’t care about an infestation. where theres one mouse there’s more. over $100 later on tickets and food and we were met with contempt and were laughed at for thinking it is RIDICULOUS to have seen a mouse jumping up and down the stairs and running around the venue.
- KLKeli Drew LockhartNov 10, 20255.0For Sheila E, the service (John) was great, I liked that they had specials. Tables are a little close for comfort (covid is still real) but it is a good time. I did not appreciate that we could not enter through the main doors and had to walk back down to the mall (the parking lot entrance where we were). They could have had a sign or staff posted.
- SHShms HaaraNov 9, 20253.0Went for a live music event. Had to wait ~10 minutes for server to address us and take a drink order, then ~15 minutes to get the drinks, just wine flights no cocktails. Food came out when it was ready not in any real order. Had to wait so long after the second drink, by the time server came around it was "last call". Go for the stage act, do not go for the service.
