The food was excellent, but the service was very slow. We had a show at 7:30 pm to catch and we had a 5:45 pm reservation. We got there for 5:35 pm and didn't leave until 7:20 pm. There were a lot of people working, so it was a little surprising that the seevice was so slow. We just made the show next door. An hour and 45 minutes for dinner is a bit much. Also, the extra charge for food and beverage tax was unexpected.

This is a kitchen and staff that knows food and how to prepare it. Be as conservative or adventurous as you want, they will meet you where you are and not look down there nose at you.MY advise though , at the very least start with the Burrata.

Our first time here—sat on Stage Left side of the restaurant. Both food and service were excellent! Would love to see more of the restaurant next time! Highly recommend. Note: There was a festival going on right outside the restaurant and the hostess made it a point to call me prior to advise me of that and give me parking suggestions. While I was within walking distance of the restaurant, I certainly appreciated the extra effort.
