Every bit of food we had was tasty. Friendly wait staff, very attentive. Perfect spot right before the show we were seeing in the same building.

As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by name and seated immediately. We don’t drink and were happy to see a mocktails menu and a bartender happy to mix an n/a drink. We started with the shrimp and it was perfect. I had the Granada burger and will be going back to have it again, it was that good.

While this is incredibly convenient if you are seeing a show, the food and drinks are way overpriced. The meals reminded me of something you would get on an airplane. Also since there was a show before we heard everything and it left our show less surprising. The staff was incredibly kind and wonderful though.

I don't know if they were just having a bad night, but I have seldom seen such inefficiency and ineptitude. We had to ask for paper menus because the QR code card at the table didn't work. They didn't have a wine menu, so our server told us the four red wines they had. The first one we ordered, they were out of. The second one we ordered, they were out of. We settled for our third choice. When we placed our dinner orders, I asked for the soup and salad and was told they had just run out of the soup. (Our reservations were at 6:45; they had just opened at 5:00.) The food was very slow to be brought out. Three times while we were waiting, a server approached our table to ask if the plate they had in their hand was for us - it wasn't. My husband's burger was the first plate to be brought out; my salad was next to last. It took three trips to serve food to four people. While we were finally eating our dinner, people began to come in for the concert. There was no room for them, so they just filled up the lobby area, so we had people standing next to our table while we were eating. I ordered a cocktail and one of my dinner companions gave the server her card. Several minutes later, the server came back to say that she had run our card for a different table. They finally resolved this issue about the same time I finally received my cocktail; the bartender didn't know how to make it and had to look it up. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever endured.

Slow service, one server for entire area, out of one food selection but not told until others were served and too late to reorder before concert. Ice cold and undercooked French fries. Incorrect check details! Waited 10-15 minutes to order a drink! Mindful we were there for a concert. Tried to take a drink into the concert……one bartender said they were totally out of white wine and one said no wine on been chilled. This was at 6:30……….they still had another show that evening. Not a good experience!

Service was slow and seemed to be un experienced. The food was pretty good, although they did not have one of the tapas we ordered.

Went to the Candlelit concert at the theatre and decided to eat at the uptown lobby beforehand. Food was delicious and we made it to the concert right on time.

It was not a good experience. It was 5:15, only 2 other tables of ppl , so not busy. The waitress was new, so trying to cut her some slack… ordered a Mojito , but they did not have the ingredients, so I tried to go simple & ordered Pinot Grigio( white wine) it took a long time as “she had to go to the basement to find it” only to return with a glass of red wine( Pinot Noir) she did not know the difference. When I viewed the website it looked like they had some type of ahi tuna that I was looking forward to. Turns out they had a handful of appetizers, but only a burger for an entree… really??!! It taste good, but suddenly the selection was reduced to “0”! The ambience was good, a cool renovated old building, but besides that it was very poor service and selection.

Impossible to judge this place on this occasion as they had some problem in the kitchen and weren't serving dinner. They were kind enough to call and let us know prior to our arrival, but I didn't get the message. When we arrived, they issued us generous gift cards to make up for our trouble, which was an excellent gesture. We will be happy to give this place another chance because of their reactions.

John, I am very sorry we had a series of unfortunate events that evening. The primary one being our chefs were waiting for a truck delivery that did not arrive until after our Lobby opened that day. This was impossible to make up for as our chefs were waiting on items to prep for service. To be fair to guests and chefs we had to make the tough decision to close the kitchen for the PM and begin prep for the next day.
