    We went for Passover Dinner. My friend had delicious matzoh ball soup, brisket, and honey cake. I had shrimp tempura appetizer and their French Dip. Loved both!

    The Ribbon was a nice local restaurant. I enjoyed the atmosphere being a local bar/restaurant style with he games on while we had our pre-dinner drink. Bartender was great and poured a good drink which i enjoyed prior to our seating. After seating, we order our meals which were good and the chicken was very moist and tender and tasty. Nice warm meal prior to going to our show. No rush to get you out and the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. Service was good with no issues or outstanding service. I enjoyed the service. Nice restaurant to go to for a meal and you won't be disappointed. Good people and clean restaurant. Bathrooms were nice with no sanitary issues.

    I go to The Ribbon a lot but last night I was disappointed. They did not tell us they were closing at 10pm and we were there to eat, drink and watch NCAA - and some games started at 10pm! They should have told us that when we arrived. Was a go-to for watching sporting events but no more.
