Description
Operating for three decades, the venue centers its lineup on rotated evening themes, choreography, and costume reveals. Hosts drive interactive sets where birthday and shower guests are often brought on stage for photos and a cupcake.
Alongside dishes like pasta, salmon, and wings, there is a full bar with no cover for walk-in drinks. Seating location affects the view, however: tables behind the bar wall lose sightlines once performers leave the main stage.
