Very clean and accommodating venue. Their staff is nice and efficient with prompt service. Food is a pretty good selection, drinks could be stronger, but I also drink like a fish so I'm a hard judge on that. I do recommend reserving a table which seats 4 and comes with a credit for food and bev. If you don't go for that it is a first come first serve basis and recommend you get there early for a good seat!

A really spacious venue with great service. The food was actually quite good, I liked their dessert menu especially. The seats were really close to others, so if you want some personal space or distance from others, better book the tickets for booths.

I come here a few times a year. Especially when my friend performs. It’s a great date night spot. Always new and up and coming comics. Surprisingly tasty food and great cocktails and wine. Just a great place to go to have a really good time.

Very nice venue with lots of seats! You can have a meal there while watching the show and counts as items for the obligatory consumption fee. Mommy Tina killed it!! And I got to see her new material! Keep those jeans high and tight hitlers!!!
