Reviews
"Great place! Tonight was our first musical theatre experience, I brought my disabled mother, and she was welcomed and taken good care of. My mom loved the production of Jingle, Jingle, All the way. The patrons were so friendly and kind. The servers were amazing who doubled as the cast. The food was excellent. The whole experience was wonderful. We hope we can come back again sometime!"
"Let me start with the positive. I saw “How to Succeed in Business” and the cast was very good, considering it was community theatre. The cast is also the wait staff and they were very friendly and attentive. HOWEVER, there were many negatives. The buffet was mediocre, and that was being generous. The potatoes were good, but the green beans were over cooked and tasteless. The chicken parmigiana was rubbery and the sauce had a funny metallic taste. The pasta was adequate, but the tilapia was also over cooked. I had an alcoholic drink - one of their show specials- a Coffee Break- which was supposed to be vodka, Kahlua, with cream, but there was barely any Kahlua, and the 'cream' I very strongly suspect was just milk. It was a very disappointing drink. For dessert, I got the vanilla mousse, which was another disappointment. It had a slight taste of vanilla, but was more sweet, with a large dollop of whipped cream on it. My biggest complaint is the chairs. There is no padding on the chairs. By the end of the first act, I was up extremely uncomfortable. At intermission, I was talking to another patron, who commiserated with me about the chairs, so I am not alone in this. She also told me that the buffet used to be much larger and better quality. Another thing. They have a sign when you walk in that you can not put gratuities on a credit card. It would have been nice to know that beforehand. That should be prominately displayed on the website. Normally, both my friend and I never carry cash, but fortunately, we did that night. Unfortunately, all we had was large bills, so we had to wait until we paid our bill to get the change to leave a tip. What would have happened if we didn't have cash? I wonder if the poor wait staff gets stiffed if people show up with no cash? Its really a shame. The play itself was really pretty good. At times the music overpowered the singing, but for the most part, it was enjoyable. I like to support local actors, but for all the negatives, I seriously doubt that I will be back."
"I think it would be good if they had better signage for their building to be more easily located; but otherwise, it was a fabulous time! The staff were very friendly. The meal was tasty, but simple. It was a buffet with a very good selection. The actors are also the servers, and they were so pleasant and fun to interact with. The play was terrific! We were impressed with the quality. The casting was truly on par! Each part was a great fit! We ate & laughed and just enjoyed a wonderful time together. The venue is on the smaller side so there is no bad seat, but tickets can sell out quickly. So go, eat, laugh, be entertained and have a lovely time. You'll be glad you did!"
"First visit there, location not well marked nor visible from street, after that, excellent experience! Pleasantly greeted, prompt and cheerful staff/actors and Pleasantly pleased food was good. Will definitely ho back"
"Simple, not fancy dining room, pretty good food, pretty good show. Very friendly wait staff who are also the singers. I'm personally not a huge fan of musicals, so I'm probably not their target audience. I didn't realize it would be all singing when I went. It was pretty good, not great. Fun time with friends, though."
