Areas for Improvement

While most guests leave impressed, a few mention that the atmosphere can feel a bit too subdued if you're looking for a more lively, pre-show buzz. The menu, while elegant, leans toward the traditional side—so fans of more adventurous or global flavors may find it limited. Also, as it's not open very late, post-show dining isn't really an option here.
