Don't come here if you are hungry, have a hangover or cannot tolerate egomania. Come here if you are lonely and want to escape the voices in your head or if you want to breakup with someone come here.

Food is absolutely terrible, but singing waitstaff are an absolute joy to watch. Also serves strong and pretty delicious alcoholic milkshakes and warm drinks.

I got horribly sick after eating there. No one else in our group got sick but I spent the next day in bed. We enjoyed the entertainment but I paid dearly for it.
Leah BrayApril 16, 2012
So fun! Loud...but that's to be expected. The milkshakes are terrific.

Great place for a breakfast with a Broadway feel....#familyfuninnyc
Marcela RodriguezJanuary 3, 2015
Amazing. Waiters sing while serving.
David TinklepaughDecember 7, 2014
Your kids will be entertained. That's good. The singing will distract you from the coffee which you'd otherwise refuse. That's bad. The food is ok but that's not why you're coming anyway.
Luz HlnaJanuary 19, 2015
Best place to hang out after a Broadway show!
Melissa WisemanOctober 21, 2019

Be sure to sit on the main floor and not the mezzanine! You'll have a better experience!
Jonathan HallApril 2, 2016
The Pasta Pommadora with Chicken was not good. The food was cold, chicken was dry, and the sauce was from a can containing little seasoning. I would not recommend this dish to anyone!
