Have never had a bad meal at GW Fins. Food and service are consistently above average, even in a city where the average is abnormally good. We’ve been coming for over 10 years but this was our first visit with our 18 month old toddler. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. You’ve earned yourself another fan for life.

Truly enjoyed the Brunch and Show. Fabulous food and service. Would definitely recommend it to others. Tips: when you arrive you have to show your ID…must be 21 to get into it; you check in outside then wait to be called in; then are seated by the hostesses; then you have 20 minutes to get your order in before the show starts.
