10/10 overall. I was already saddened by the fact that half of my guests couldn’t make it last minute and the ones who could, arrived super late. However, when I got to the restaurant, I was greeted and treated with respect and the patience of the men and woman at the front entrance was immaculate! My waiter(s) were amazing as well. I’m forever grateful and I had the best birthday dinner at your establishment. Thank you and God bless❤️

The only thing that turned me off was that every table around me were greeted by a server or performers. We had to ask for someone to come and explain to us how to order and what would make our first visit more enjoyable. Now that I’ve “experienced” the restaurant, I will know what to do and not waste 45 minutes trying to figure out how to order and not miss more performances. Since time was limited to two hours, I was worried that we would not have enough time to eat or drink. After placing an order we waited an additional 30+ minutes for our first drink to arrive then our food. Wasn’t sure if we had enough time to order a second drink, which we did but had to drink it fast as our two hour dining experience was over.
