It was clear that she knew that some guests had a problem. She apologized and offered comps for any upcoming show. That means a lot and we will take her up on it.

Not such a great experience at the Improv last night. I took the lady for the Valentines package of three course dinner and the show. I'll say that the show was excellent, and we specifically went to see Taylor Williamson.
First, parking is a nightmare. It anyways has been there on weekends. Arrive early is the only solution.
The cub is completely remodeled and looks great. They refinished everything, with barn board all over, new lighting and plumbing fixtures, and nice decor. New sound and lights, too.
Problem was with the service, we were seated about a half hour early and really expected dinner to start coming. The server took the drink order, and they came quickly enough, but never an offer to refill my soda. The salad came during the opener, and this was a sad, pathetic little excuse for a salad. The entree, however came about an hour later, during the headliner's set. Many of the guests in our section turned it down, while my lady got hers to go and I choked mine down. The cake never came.
I don't understand why it took so long to serve us and why the food came during the headline act. First, my attention was taken away from the show, but what disrespect to the headliner. My section was directly in front of the stage and I know that he could see us, after all, he talked to me and the people around us several times.
Oh, food? Overlooked Mahi and wet rice. I already mentioned the 1/4 cup of salad. This was $100 for two of us, but did include admission.
