| - Would actually give a 2.5 and this review is on the venue only. Went to see a show last night. There was a small line to get in. Maybe 10 people. It took 10 minutes. Considering that there is literally only one way in and they have been open as long as they have, I would think they could have worked out the kinks. It's a line people. Check the ID. Check the ticket. Done.
We arrived early enough that our seats were decent, but they seat you, even though there is no reserved seating and they will try to force you in to seats. Personally I didn't want to sit where I would have to look at the performers ass, so I said no and after an eye roll and a snarky "well where do you want to sit?" we were moved.
The two drink minimum is a hack, but normal and expected. We both had the martini of the day (carmel apple), which was so good that it also became my second drink. Small and pricey. But seriously good. The first thing my friend said after taking a sip was "okay I want to crawl in to this... is that bad?" It was that good.
We had eaten before arriving but because we wanted something to soak up the alcohol, we shared the chocolate cake. It was better than either of us thought it would be.
Service was odd, because the seating is so tight. The wait staff really can't make it through the rows, so they stand at the end of about 8 two-seater tables and pass things down. If you are claustrophobic or have personal space issues, DO NOT SIT in the middle of one of those rows. You will never get out.
About 15 minutes before the show was over the tabs were passed out, money collected, and the dishes / glasses are snatched up before the lights were raised. Since there is a line to exit too (again with the lines), we sat to let the crowd thin and basically were in the way as the tables were being bused. I could see the need to pressure you out if 1) there were a second show and they needed to change out the crowd, or 2) there was someplace to actually move your body; but leaving my table that was up by the stage / near the door and walking to the far rear of the venue to get in the back of the line didn't make sense.
The warm-up comics were great. The host for the evening was hysterical. The headliner was off the chain. The drinks were fabulous. The overall experience because of service was just okay. I'll be back, because options are limited, but if the service were better, I would definitely go more often because it doesn't get much better than live comedy.
