I was given a short tour of the facility which was very comfortable, like someone's home but with great themed decor. My waiter was very attentive. The menu was necessarily brief as per the nature of a pre-concert meal. I had no problem selecting a shrimp po'boy and it was delicious, very filling, and surprisingly fairly priced. During the meal the venue offered an acoustic solo singer adding to the atmosphere. Maeher also checked on me and kept her promise to escort me to my seat in the venue. Maybe it was the upgrade, but I did feel like a VIP. Other diners around me seemed to also receive good service. I've seen mediocre reviews of this location but that was not my experience. I'd definitely like to have a pre-show meal there again.

Going upstairs the walls are covered with beautiful quilted fabric. Upon entering you are greeted by a shrine to Ganesha. The bar area is full of dark wood, stained glass and features a fireplace. The whole ambiance is one of luxury and comfort. There's also an outdoor area overlooking the street if you want views of the city or to get some fresh air. The only letdown was the food. We ordered appetizers and entrees. It took forever to arrive and my burger was dry and overcooked. I would recommend go for the drinks and the ambiance not the food.

The store is clean, open on the later side, and stocked with a little bit of everything. I stopped in a couple of weeks ago for a replacement vaporizer battery, and the owner recommended one for me based on the one I was currently using that I did like a lot. Unfortunately, either the battery or charger was defective, and I was unable to get it to take a charge after the initial power rundown. I brought it back to shop the following week, and the owner took a few minutes to open up a couple packages and try different chargers and batteries to see where the problem might be. He didn't have any more of the brand that I had purchased, but did give me another battery and charger anyhow. I appreciate him swapping it out and making it right for me.
