It’s dinner and a show—a fun and entertaining experience where time flies by. The food is good, and I enjoyed most of the dishes. However, it’s quite expensive. If the price were more reasonable, I would have given it five stars.

Fantastic experience, well prepared and presented. Only issue was our card was compromised the following morning, being last used at Candle. Otherwise, other than a bit pricey, a wonderful experience and we will likely do it again sometime.

Unique experience. The staff was great and the overall experience was worth trying, once. Most food was good, but with dietary restrictions the experience fell a little short. It seemed that some of the dishes were an afterthought and just had omissions of certain ingredients rather than a more thoughtful attempt. A little disappointing after waiting 7 months to dine there. Would still recommend to others because it was a fun and unique evening.
