This is the only restaurant that I go to for the food alone. That may sound weird, but I always look for something extra like views,etc.
The food here is outstanding! They also have good service and it is located in a 2-block walkaround area with a movie theater 1 block away.

Entertainment & Activities
Really funky place that used to be a movie theater, but it has now extended to include live comics and other types of live performances. They took out the stiff theater seats and put in low tables and counters and comfy semi-recliner seats. They serve basic foods plus some pretty good salads. Great place for a casual date. Beware that some of the comedians can be raunchy.
