    A wonderful experience. We came in after a show without any knowledge of the place. The results of our experience were extraordinary. 5 stars across the board!

    We booked for the 90 mins bottomless offer when also buying 1 entree each, and thought this was the case when we were seated and told the table was for 90 mins maximum. We were handed menus and chose a cocktail each and an entree. One of the cocktails was undrinkable, it was an Eternal Sunshine. Mine was a Short and Sweet which was nice. We then chose a wine each from our menus. When we requested the bill, it was well over $100 (which it should have been with the 2 mains). When I queried this, I was told I that the drinks we had ordered didn’t fall under the bottomless menu? However, they were on the menus we were given and as far as I’m aware, wine and cocktails were included? We only had 2 drinks each, others may have more under the ‘bottomless’ menu..We tried to point this out to no avail so had to pay and leave. It should be made clearer what is available to order under this offer, our first waitress was aware what we were there for then the second wasn’t…very disappointing and misleading.

    Limited bar food menu, no coffee except espresso and very high noise level. Only if you want to drink in a convivial atmosphere. Not for serious dining.
