"We were recently here for the Neil Diamond show and it was a fantastic time. My wife and I have been to about 20 shows over the years and it is always a great time. The food is some of the best food in the area. It has always been top notch. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. The shows are amazing. We have seen some seriously amazing shows here. I highly recommend this business. We will be back!"

"EDIT: 3/16/2025 - I had seats for West Side Story, but I couldn’t make it at the last minute. They charged me to cancel, not to reschudule—to cancel! I will never step foot in this place ever again. 9/29/2024 - What a fun time! The food was good, for the most part. The service was excellent. We saw Gypsy and it was great. I’ll definitely be going back!"
