We were seated immediately. We had to ask for a server after ten minutes when nobody had stopped by. We ordered an appetizer that still had not come after 50 minutes. The table next to us got seated at least 20 minutes after us and had an appetizer before we ever got one, which we never did because we ended up cancelling all food ordered because we had a show to get to. When the manager stopped by, she told us that was just how it is when there are shows and was not apologetic at all. We were never informed of the possibility of the long wait for food or we would never would have ordered. Also, there are consistently shows across the street so I am unsure why the restaurant does not adjust staffing for that to get an appetizer out in under an hour. Terrible experience overall.

Went there to celebrate Mothers Day for my Mil. It took server almost 20 minutes to take our order.. I ordered an appetizer, it was cold, server took it back and it took another 20 minutes at least to get it, but it did come out hot this time. Finally food comes and they brought my side salad with my food. Definitely not a good experience. Our server was definitely in the weeds , while there was another server or worker just sitting at the bar. We have ate there one time before this and it was ok, but this visit was a real disappointment.
