question:
So I went to this BYOW for my birthday..... And I was never served so horribly in my life. It all started when I asked for croutons for my tartare, the server said they didn't have enough bread and that's why they didn't give us much while we were waiting. I told them that tartare without croutons is not very good, they didn't care, after arguing they brought back plain bread. I asked if it could be toasted or put in the oven on broil to make them crispy. The server started yelling at me but them came back with some weird toasted bread..... After everyone was done eating their plate. I said I'm sorry but it's kinda too late.... I was never screamed like that in my whole life by anyone. My friends started getting into it and both servers were screaming and insulting me and my friends. Note that the manager was not there on a busy Saturday night. They didn't even wanna bring a piece of cake for my birthday but my sister argued with them and they finally did but charge her 9$ for the slice of cake. I can't believe they charged my plate which I didn't touch, plus the slice of cake and they never apologize or threw in something to make up for the way they treated me..... All my friends felt so bad for me cause it was my birthday.....
I am never ever going there and so are all 15 of my friends that where attending my birthday supper.

I visited during the soft opening and opted for pre-theatre, which at only 16.50 for two courses or 19.50 for 3 - including steak - is a good deal. The chips were particularly good, and I enjoyed the steak too (sirloin with pre-theatre, although your server does show you a platter of all the cuts before you order which is a nice touch). Service was good, a little ropey but the restaurant had only opened the day before and they were very friendly, rectifying the mistake with our bill straight away. The decor's trendy and smart too.

question:
Not worth the hassle...I bought tickets for my husband and I. We got there and noticed that the room is LOADED with tables and chairs in a long school cafeteria style format. The tables were so close together that it was nearly impossible to squeeze between them. I watched many people struggling to get to their seats. Each table is about 18 inches wide. You are sat across from your guest. Our seats ended up being in the middle of one of these long rows...what a joke (punn intended). After about 10 minutes of feeling like I wouldn't be able to escape if an emergency arose, I got up, made my way out and found a manager. There are a number of seats along the walls and in the very back that are more spread out. I asked, when we arrived and were being seated, if we could sit along a wall and was told no that they were reserved seating. When I got to the manager and asked about the seating arrangements, he came back to see where we were sitting. I inquired about the other areas and told him that when I purchased tickets it was noted that all of their seats were general seating. He explained that you have to buy a "bottle" to get one of the booth seats. A bottle? Not wine, but one of the higher ended liquours. Fine- no big deal, what about the other non-booth seats...They are "rail" seats he explained. Those are general seating and you can request them when being seated. I then explained that I did in fact ask to be seated in the back area. He was reluctant to reseat us because he said the house was sold out and they wouldn't be able to get anyone to take our existing seats...what? What about those people who arrive 5 minutes before the show starts? He offered us a desert to be sent to our table free of charge for the inconvenience. Oh well...I chalked it up to "Live and Learn". The manager came back in about 5 mintues and did reseat us along one of the rails. It was on the very far right of the stage, but at least we could breathe.

Bottom line: Not worth the money. The drinks averaged around $10 a piece, which is to be expected. The do not allow food purchase to count toward your drink minimum. They do add a gratuity automatically which they do not tell you and by no means is the service any more than a 15% tip service. It is cramped and uncomfortable and because of this, I was never able to enjoy the show- even after we were reseated.

Best Bet: Smaller comedy venues that have a little more of an intimate setting and allow you to get food for your two "drink" minimum.
