From start to finish this restaurant was amazing. The staff was very friendly and once they found out we were there for our wedding dinner they made it more special. The actors that walk around are very friendly and funny. Very interactive place all together. The food was amazing we ordered other plates to go home with and they still tasted just as fresh!

By far one of the BEST restaurants for every level of service and food. Monica took great care of us at the bar, even after she was off her shift… boxed food and gave us bread to go with my late night snack of pumpkin raviolis (with bread & more olive tapenade… yum!).
