    What a disappointing experience! There was almost no one in the restaurant yet it took forever to get our food. The food was sub par at best and the service was just as poor. With so many amazing restaurants nearby, if you can, avoid this place.

    The servers were nice but service was extremely slow — it took nearly 30 minutes after we were seated to be asked for our orders, and more than 30 more minutes to receive our food. Also the fish mains came without any sides and looked very bare on the plate. Food was good overall but Ellie’s needs to pick up the pace for the pre-show crowd.
