| - I like this place. It's wickedly expensive, but really for a nice meal and a show, it's still a good value. We visited for Beauty and the Beast, and I give the chef big kudos for designing a menu that was geared towards the theme (French country) and kids.
Let's talk first about the venue - it's not a huge stage, and the layout of the tables for seating is pretty well done. There's really no bad seats (although some on the very far edges may not be able to see the whole stage, depending on the scenery. The chairs are comfy. Great sound. And I LOVE that the cast comes out to meet and greet after the show. Especially this show - the kids loved meeting Belle, the Prince/Beast and Gaston!
Let's talk about the food. There are meals that are included in the price of the ticket (about $90 for a nice seat), and then you can add on appetizers, cocktails, upgraded entrees and desserts. They offered options for chicken, beef and salmon and a nice quinoa option for vegetarians. The upgrade for lobster and shrimp was $20; $16 for an upgrade to a nice tortellini dish. They also have add-ons; we got some grilled shrimp for $8; grilled asparagus for $6. There is a separate children's menu. It includes bread service and choice of soup and salad.
The dessert choices were amazing! For this venue, they had a brie baked with cherries, raspberries in a croute, with caramel and nuts - WOW. My niece went ga-ga for "The grey stuff" (a reference from "Be our Guest" - very clever "grey" caramel mouse in a chocolate tea cup. There were a few others we would have liked to try - the "Rose" cake, adorable petit fours, and little chocolate cups holding beautiful berries.
Service was good - we had the team of Kyle and Piper - both very pleasant. They have to cover a lot of tables, and there is a lot of activity - we had to flag them down a few times to try to get more water and tea. If you haven't been before, they open the doors two hours before show time for the meal; when you order dessert it is served at intermission. Also, if you have leftovers, they wrap them and keep them in the fridge, then bring them out to you at the end of the show. So, it's a 5-hour gig.
We did not have cocktails, and our bill came to over $60, so be prepared. Still, a nice experience. And, if the price is offsetting, it's possible to buy tickets that do not include dinner. You can still order ala carte items from the menu.
