The food was tasty et well presented! The atmosphere, we got there at 7pm, was very quiet, however, by the time we left it was a little better. The female dancer was extremely talented however, my wife was not impressed by the male dancer in his work pants and construction boots, not sexy at all. Price was expensive for the limited entertainment provided.

Excellent food and cocktails, good service. Time between each set of the show could be shortened so that the activity lasts 3 hours instead of 4. Welcome drinks should be any cocktail for the price they charge. Besides that everything was good. The show was exceptional.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food, cocktails, service, and the show. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the timing between sets and the welcome drink.

We’re so glad you had a great time overall, and we hope to welcome you back for another exceptional experience in the future!
