Service is terrible katie the manager basically said it was fine to wait over 75 min for your food Tried to explain to her that people came in 30min after me and already finished their dinner she basically didn’t believe me . Entertainment was great but service was terrible along with customer service. If you’re going for an 8 o’clock show get there for 5 to get your food by 730 . I even asked the waitress an hour into waiting and she just shrugged her shoulders when i told her about the people next to us who finished their dinner and came 30 min after us . Start hiring professionals visani .
Went to my 1st comedy show ever here! Orny Adams was hilarious & such a nice guy! Food was so delicious! Buratta was the appetizer and for the main courses we got the 10oz NY Strip Steak, with carrots and green beans and I got the loaded garlic mashed potatoes and partner got loaded potatoe wedges. Highly recommend, even just for the food, but if we are talking comedians, go see Orny Adams! You won't regret it!
I loved this place went for a comedy show and dinner laughed my ass off and food was great
The food was excellent, the service was fast and friendly, and the show was funny. It was a perfect night out for a birthday and anniversary. Thanks, Visani!
Really good food and entertainment, cannot wait to go back!
Food was amazing. Headliner was no one I had heard of but very funny! Ambiance was great. No complaints.
Food was decent and service was good. It gets quite crowded in there. I wish the seating could be set up a bit differently but it’s a smaller venue and it was a “packed house.” Totally worth going depending on what the entertainment is. There are plenty of restaurants with similar quality food that have a more spacious set up but it’s the whole atmosphere that makes this place.
We went with our neighbors, first time for us. They had been recommended by several people. It was wonderful! The food was amazing, I had the scallops appetizer, the best scallops I've ever eaten. Then came the steaks, everyone was impressed. The server ( I think her name was Bree) was a joy. So we went back the next week, pretty much the same. It will be the place for special dates.
Food, drinks, and the comedy show were great!
Atmosphere was great, comedy show (contest) was ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!!! I would have left after eating but the waitress stalled everytime I asked. I realized afterwards it was so no one would leave and we'd stay and vote for these so called comedians that I believe they found at the bus stop out front...it was bad!!!... Dinner and drinks were ok, a little pricy for the quality id say. All in all id give it another try for a different show, my friends go a lot to see tribute bands and really enjoy them. I wouldnt count it off your list...just stay away from comedy "CONTESTS". I'm sure there are many good comedians that go there (ones that have actually been on stage before and are seasoned). Give it a try, it's something a little different like old time nite club feel.

A fairly large venue with some tables set for four, and a bunch of long tables where people shared space with strangers. In fact, if you came as a couple, chances were that you would share a table for four with another two people.
The venue requires that you order at least $15 per person during the evening, in addition to ticket purchase. Tickets can be bought in advance online.
The food was ok, the burata appetizer was good, but the meat in the steak salad was oversalted, though it was cooked perfectly medium rare. Service was excellent.
The comedian who performed on the evening of September 6, Shaun Jones, had a lot of good energy, engaged the audience, mostly had a good routine, though a bit repetitive.
Overall a good experience.
The comedy and dining experience is absolutely top-notch!
Always great food service and place
Very crowded and I don't like sitting with strangers but the food was good and the comedian was funny
*Update - The menu has changed since I last wrote this post. My husband had a 12 oz Ribeye that looked smaller than that, but it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. There was no bread for the table this time. We ordered the fried calamari again (2 orders for our whole table), and it was still overcooked. If I could just tell them, it doesn't have to be brown to be cooked. One of our friends ordered the lobster pasta dish and loved it. I had the class and Linguini, and it was OK. I love garlic, but there were many big and thick slices of garlic that I picked out. Overall, it was a good evening.
Original post - It was an intimate setting, and the decor was very cool. The drinks had a good pour but were expensive. I drink Bombay Sapphire Gin and soda water, but they kept forgetting and kept giving me gin and tonics. It was frustrating while we were trying to watch the show. We had calamari for the appetizer, and it was way overcooked. They did bring a warm bread loaf with whipped butter, and that was decent. Jeff ordered the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes, and it came with a side of asparagus. His steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and he said his potatoes were pretty good. However, the asparagus was nearly raw. I ordered the Seafood Fra Diavolo and it was ok. It had plenty of seafood: mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp, and calamari. However, the shrimp and calamari were overcooked. The service was good-ish. As far as the comedians, they were pretty funny, and we had a lot of laughs. Surprisingly, the entertainment portion was fairly inexpensive and well worth it! We'll be back for the entertainment for sure, but maybe make different menu choices.
