   A great place for brunch with good food and service in a relaxing atmosphere. Very convenient to the Orpheum Theater so it is great for a pre show meal and to take advantage of available street parking.

   The service was slow and cumbersome… not the efficient service we were accustomed to. We asked on our Open Table reservation to be seated in Sam’s section but that did not happen. Sam was working but we were not in his section. We waited almost an hour for our food and since we had theater tickets that made things a bit rushed. We understand there has been a change in management so that could be part of the issue. Also we heard they were running short because an employee called in. The food was good and arrived to our table hot. The servers looked like they were working hard and doing the best they could. We will be back to dine there again because it’s close to parking and the theater. Hopefully they get things worked out and are back to running smoothly again!

   Exceptional everything! The menu had been updated and improved since my last visit before an Orpheum show. Every entree and starter was fantastic. We got every starter, between us, and they all were top notch. Came out hot! Perfect temps on the proteins! Mahi Mahi and Brussels were stand outs. No room for dessert sadly but next time for sure!!!

   This is very convenient if you are attending a show at the Orpheum. It is way overpriced for what you get. I have eated here several times for the convenience to the Orpheum and if I failed to get a reservation in the area before a show. They seem to struggle with servers and always seem to be a little short staffed. Recently we ordered the Salmon Crudite. It is listed for $16 on their website but it was $20 the night we ate there. It would have been overpriced at $16 so it was way overpriced for $20. Very small smoked salmon spread that basically you could buy at Trader Joe's. The smoked salmon was thin Lochs and enough for 2 of us to have one piece. Caeser salad with salmon was good. I had the Starry Night Speciality cocktail which was pretty typical price for the downtown area. It was a pretty cocktail and was very tasty. The decor of the room is really pretty but food is average and not worth the price!

   We love dining here before attending a show at The Orpheum Theatre. This time was no exception. The food is great and the service wonderful! Our waiter Sam is incredible!

    It is a really nice setting. We enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. We had the dry rubbed wings for our appetizer. They were cooked nicely but lacked any flavor. For our main course we had a cheeseburger and a salad with salmon. The burger was prepared well but again lacked any flavor. The salad was a salad. It’s basically hotel/room service in a pretty setting. I always looked at menus before going out to eat. FYI!! The prices of the drinks did not match the price listed online. They were high for the type of restaurant and service.
