    We got there a little early for the comedy show so the restaurant was completely empty. The food was good, nothing special.

    We had no idea what to expect but ended up having a great time! Tucked away in a weird, half empty, Escher-esque shopping center, this place was packed! The comedians were funny, the beer was cold, and the shrimp quesadilla was yummy. There was still a cover charge, even if you were there for dinner but it was worth it. Support local comedy and businesses!

    We were hoping to eat dinner during the show. Unfortunately the first two things we tried to order were out of stock and wouldn't be ready until the later show. We were disappointed and ended up ordering an appetizer to tide us over. I was surprised and grateful that the manager comped our food order to make up for this inconvenience. I enjoyed the show and the bar service was quick and friendly. We will definitely go back.

    Totally fun time. I got VIP status with the open table booking. I didn't have to pay admission fee (it was waived due to open table booking) and I was seated to the side by the stage. Great service, great food and drinks and awesome stand up comedians. Terrific all around.

    Comedy acts were excellent. Last act was a little bit of a downer and not my choice for a "headliner." However the other racks were so good I would definitely return. Extremely good value and a very entertaining evening .

    Great place for a night out! Host was excellent and the comedians were funny! Overall this visit was great, the only downside was the service was slow so make sure to order as soon as your server arrives. Don't forget to have them validate your parking for 4 free hours which is great!

    The comedians were of good quality for the small size of the venue. I wasn't expecting much from this place, but the laughs were delivered! I loved Aiko Tanaka! The burger I ordered wasn't really worth the price, but overall I had a good time. They also don't have a food/drink item minimum, but they also don't let you bring your own bottle of wine, because they don't have a corkage fee. Lame excuse. One guy tells me I can open my bottle, second guy says I can't. Get your facts straight.

    We made a reservation for 9:00pm but waited for seating until 9:45pm and then we didn't actually get food served until 10:30pm. While waiting for our seat we could hear the comedians' full acts from the outside patio area. Jokes aren't as funny the second time around.
