    Drinks were weak for a Drag Bar, Food was great, would have liked to see a few more shrimp in my shrimp Alfredo. I feel kind of silly at least with the shrimp part, but any feedback is good feedback . I had a great time!

    Over priced if you are a non drinker. Should offer a discount.

    I enjoyed the show. I had never been. The food was great my steak was juicy and well cooked. I would recommend it. The only time I was a bit uncomfortable was when the Lords name was used. Thank you.
