"We were greeted and brought to our table by Deanna. She was extremely professional and immediately made us feel like we’d made the right choice for pre show dinner. Our server, Tishelle, was exceptional. She was pleasant, accommodating, and in tune with each part of our ordering process. We ordered the firecracker roll and two oysters to start. They were very good. The roll originally came out without wasabi ginger but the gentleman dropping it off realised it and fixed that issue before he even set down the plate. We then ordered a bottle of wine. It was taking a long time to arrive so Tishelle had to track it down. The staff were telling her they weren’t sure if they even had the bottle we’d requested. She found it in the end and brought it to us. We then ordered the porterhouse special. It was a porterhouse with a baked potato and broccolini. We ordered it medium rare yet it came well done and not even seared on the outside. Tishelle brought it back to the kitchen and we received a new one. This one was undercooked still not searedbut tastywe ate it quickly as our show was starting and had asparagus instead of broccolini. Deanna stopped by a couple of times throughout the night to make sure things were going well and assisted Tishelle in making corrections to our order issues. Based on the exceptional service from both Deanna and Tishelle, we will go back here and give the kitchen another chance"
