| - This review might be a bit unique, since I came here not to watch a program, but a private event in which I was part of one! In show business, the slightest misstep can be an embarrassing eyesore, and I have to say that the staff here was more efficient and helpful than those running behind the curtains at any auditorium I've seen. My mic was hot when and only when I needed it to be, transitions between lighting were flawless, and as a result, the attention of the audience was unwavering.
When you're rubbing elbows with the valley's premier philanthropists and politicians, only the best will do!
And this is Yelp, so of course you wanna hear about the food, right? Before shuffling to the extravagant encore room, I only had time to peck at my exquisite entree of steak, a chicken cutlet, flavorful mash, and the most amazing grilled carrots and squash I could hope for. Yum. Service was top-notch, which an abundance of bussers swiftly meeting every demand between brief intermissions.
The tapas, however, were legendary. Bacon-wrapped tilapia and scrumptious pork empanadas were simply out of this world, with stunning presentation to match. Guests enjoyed these in the atmosphere, washing them down with a variety of libations from the swank bar.
On an avenue of strip malls with an auspicious lack of culture, ABT is an oasis for fine arts, or more appropriately, the finer things in life itself. Whether it's an amazing show full of talent, or a private event, I would recommend this to anyone with the class to appreciate the good life. It's as good as it gets!
