    Went out with my daughter to celebrate her 29th birthday and see a show. The server (Samantha) was extremely helpful and the service was top notch! She helped us choose dishes that the kitchen could have prepared quickly and she timed the dinner performance make sure we could get to our show on time! Everything was delicious!

    I’ll just say it like this: Adrak lives up to the hype. After watching many social media posts on the place, expectations were high. All expectations were handily met and then some. This place deserves all the accolades it gets. Special thanks to Vishal for his attention to details
