| - A PERFECT THEATER EXPERIENCE. On June 4, 2016, my wife and I went to see "When You Wish" at the Phoenix Theater. We've been to this theater before, but this was the first time we elected to have pre-show dinner and drinks at the Bistro instead of dining at a nearby restaurant. Immediately upon being seated at the Bistro we knew we had made the right decision! Our server, Dixie, was impressively charming, friendly, enthusiastic, and was able to offer us not only several appealing options for dinner, she also guided us into ordering drinks, which, would be conveniently ready for us at intermission. Nice touch! The selection of entrees was intelligently done, and we especially liked the chicken club sandwich and kale salad. Prices were reasonable for food and drinks and we felt we had received good value for our money. But back to the people: Dixie wasn't merely acting in her role of a server: She was genuinely interested in making our experience perfect. It was obvious she enjoyed customers, she enjoyed her job, and she was very knowledgable about the menu and procedures. Indeed we were so impressed with Dixie, we asked to speak to her manager. Not surprisingly, Dixie's manager, Elizabeth Caruana, (who coincidently had hired Dixie) was equally gracious and charming! Elizabeth was very sharp, knew her business, and yet made my wife and I so comfortable and welcome it was like spending an evening with family. By the time we had finished dinner and were entering the theater, we had already made up our minds that not only would we be returning to the Bistro for pre-show dining, we would also be recommending this experience to all of our friends and business associates! Incidentally the production of "When You Wish" was wonderful, first class, and we could not have been more pleased with the performance. Indeed, my wife and I are now considering season tickets!
