The brunch menu is straight forward breakfast fare; omelettes, classic breakfast, etc. bottomless mimosas and **** Mary’s are available and are pretty good. The service is friendly and helpful but could be a little more polished. We had some slight delays with the food but they offered to comp some items, we declined, it wasn’t that big of a deal. Definitely going again as the place is a good value and a nice venue.

Menu included full dinners with wine, entree, vegetable, potato, salad and large dessert. We would have preferred ala carte options. Warm, large popovers with honey butter were excellent. Prime rib, carrots and potato were very good even though menu specified mashed potatoes and scalloped potato was served. Partner’s butter nut ravioli was too salty to be enjoyed. Dessert was a large serving of frosted red velvet cake topped with large chocolate covered strawberry. Each of us enjoyed two servings of cake the next day.

Located near the theater, this restaurant is best visited early. The service is friendly but not very attentive, making it less than ideal for a pre-show meal.... read more Located near the theater, this restaurant is best visited early. The service is friendly but not very attentive, making it less than ideal for a pre-show meal. The menu is small and features ordinary dishes, which is surprising given the limited selection. Overall, the restaurant seems to cater mainly to hotel guests.
