    This is a truly weird place and it is magnificent! Vaudeville-style entertainment, wall-to-wall and ceiling projections and a vibe that is nowhere else to be found. Service is sold. Drinks are about $15 each and it’s a blast.

    For starters our reservation was at 7pm. Got there 5 mints til and we waited til 7:21 to be seated. Next was our waiter. He asked if we were ready to order drinks yet had no drink menu. He either didn’t hear me say we didn’t have one or just thought I said we weren’t ready….but never got a wine/cocktail menu the next table actually gave us theirs. Then he came back with only one menu and still not a drink menu. When it came to ordering we asked for sautéed spinach and we were brought creamed spinach. Waiter checked on us maybe twice.
