We were running late and the hostess was able to accommodate our new schedule. As soon as we arrived we were seated. We had theater tickets and our waitress made sure we got through dinner on time. Betty was amazing. We were able to get vegetables for the hummus for the gluten free people. The theater menu was perfect. Food was delicious and service was top notch. Highly recommend this location.

We went on Sunday for brunch and the food was excellent. There were hardly any other people there so it was pretty quiet, which we like. It was our first time and we're going to try dinner too.
