    I made reservations root to our play and unfortunately we were seated in front of the door Every time someone entered or left we got a blast of cold. Before we sat down I asked to be moved as there were many open spots but was told no When we left 1 1/2 hours later there were still a lot of empty places where we would have been more comfortable There was only 2 of us

    Perfect location next to the Buell Theater for lite bites before a show, even better small plates afterward for a date night. Fabulous seasonal cocktails

    Our server was fabulous but that was the high-point. We came for dessert and coffee before a concert at Boetcher and were told our choice was out as only ONE was prepared that day. That's ok, we went with something else. Carrot cake, which was dry. For the price, a terrible value.

    Love this option for a pre show meal. It is helpful to let staff know typer showtime to ensure that you get your food in time and can make it to your seats in time.

    Among other things we ordered the gnocchi with lamb ragu. While the ragu was tasty there were only TWO gnocchi!! Very odd.
