    We went for Thanksgiving dinner because we were in town from Tennessee visiting our daughter who is here working a travel nurse contract. Approx $50 per plate. We had 3 people. The food was ok. Turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole apple pie for dessert. Turkey was good, stuffing tasted like stove top stuffing, green bean casserole was soggy. Cranberry sauce was chopped up canned jelly. The apple pie looked delicious, but was frozen. Had a hard time cutting it with a knife, so I just gave up. Service was mid (we sat there with no silverware for our food for awhile) and gratuity was pre added to the bill. Definitely wasn’t worth $50 a plate. We debated on going to Cracker Barrel and wished we would’ve.

    Wasn’t worth the price. It was their set thanksgiving menu. The meal was $48 each, prepaid with gratuity added.and we were shocked at how small the portions were. Maybe a couple bites of each side. It wasn’t busy at all and we’re surprised my father didn’t get his drink he ordered and I had to go to the bar and ask for it when I noticed the bartender was just polishing glasses. My mother and I both had upset stomachs later in the day as well. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant/hotel “experience “ as they call it.

    We made reservations on Thanksgiving for standard seating, not the Thanksgiving meal offered. When we arrived, the waitress asked if we wanted the standard menu, which we said we did. The managwer them come over to tell us they were only serving the Thanksgiving meal. We specifically made a reservation with them because they had both menus. This left us scrambling to find another place to eat.

    Our server was great, but the hostess who sat us came back and asked us if we were ready to order yet, as though to ask 'can you hurry up and order, eat and get out of here so we can sit someone else'. We were in no hurry, but there was no one waiting for a table, with several still open.

    We usually dine here before going to The Orpheum. Tonight’s service was spot on!!! It seemed they were fully staffed. The crew always tries their best but many times in the past they have been short staffed. I know they get slammed on nights the Orpheum and tonight they were ready with a full staff!!

    Food was OK, but very overpriced for what you get. Menu online did not match what they had available in the restaurant that evening. Great drinks, but also very expensive. Very cute place and the service was excellent.
    Olive & Ira’sResponded on August 29, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our drinks, the ambiance, and the service. What drinks did you have and which was your favorite? My favorite is our Starry Night, it's just missing a little glitter to give it that extra starry-ness. I apologize for the discrepancy between our online menu and the options available that evening. We’re currently working on updating our online listings to better reflect what’s available. Your comments on the pricing will also be taken into consideration as we strive to provide value for our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and offer an experience that exceeds your expectations.

    2 of us arrived for a 6:00pm dinner reservation and we’re seated. A server did not come to our table until 6:10-6:15 PM. we ordered drinks and then placed our food order at approximately 6:20 PM at 7:10 PM or food had still not arrived at our table having tickets to an event at the Orpheum. We asked the server if they could check on the order she mentioned that a wedding was going on in the party room and therefore they were very busy. Our food arrived at 7:15 PM and we were only able to eat three or four bites before we decided to leave to get to our seats at the theater. The server was very apologetic, but it was not her fault the food took to be prepared.
