I saw Anastasia last night and the cast, staging, costuming and music were all excellent…read more The service, however, was extremely poor. We ordered popcorn for intermission over an hour prior to the start of the show, knowing that it isn't delivered until intermission. They waited until the second act was beginning to tell us they "didn't make enough" and we wouldn't be getting any. They gave us nachos and promised to comp one of the 3 orders, then charged me for it anyway. The nachos were cold and soggy when they arrived about 3 minutes left in intermission. I gave my credit card in good faith when the check was dropped early in the intermission, then had the wrong amount charged to my credit card (over double my actual total) and someone else's credit card presented to me not once but twice. It took 10-15 minutes for the mess to be sorted between the manager and server and the server spent most of that chatting and laughing with what appeared other table involved. The manager also blew off my concerns about their disorganized service and lack of communication regarding availability of the menu. My party and I were not high maintenance, or demanding. There was no obvious reason for the chaos, besides a clear lack of organization and no managerial care for customer experience.

The elderberry wine is wonderful, the experience at this winery not so good. We walked into an…read moreempty winery with kids toys scattered around the floor. A woman with her child came out but did not offer a tasting or any other help. She told her child to pick up the toys after I almost tripped on one, and the child ignored her. I finally asked if we could taste the semi-dry elderberry because we were not able to find it locally. She poured one sample. We had to share the sample. No other tastings were offered. We asked for a case of the wine which she brought out. We asked where they shipped the semi-dry wine in the KC area. She mentioned a few places where they shipped wine, but had no idea where they shipped semi-dry, and did not offer to find out and get back with us. When paying, the screen asked for a tip of over $20. For what? Needless to say, I skipped the tip screen. Five stars for the wine, zero stars for the winery.

The real reason for my 3 star rating is that they have so many wines and meads but you can only taste 5. Granted it's 5 for free but I think they need a pay options too for everyone. Especially for those of us just passing through and don't live in the area. The hostess (person who poured) seemed like she did t want to be there and didn't tell me anything about the wines. Overall the wines I did taste were good o wish I could had tasted more.

Formerly the Lawrence Community Theatre, it's now just Theatre Lawrence, and has been for several…read moreyears now. First things first: this is one of the things that makes Lawrence a complete city in my opinion. In a state with a poor reputation for supporting the arts, Lawrence stands out and then some, and Theatre Lawrence is one very good reason. Don't expect amateur, the productions here are quite good, reasonably priced and access and parking first-rate. No, it's not Broadway in NYC but the tickets don't cost $300 a pop (expect $20 range) and a hotel in case you need one isn't $400 a night with $20 glasses of vino. Speaking of which, nice bar and snacks in the lobby and you can take your beverage in to the show. The sound system and mechanicals are first-rate. This place was built for one single purpose, and no, it doesn't double as a church on Sundays like the old location often did. Did I mention, not a bad seat in the entire house. Get a back row ticket? Count yourself lucky, they're good seats. Everything about this venue hits the mark in my opinion. The city is lucky to have it. Can't wait to return to the next show, but first, I'd better finish my gig in the orchestra for the current run of "Quilters."

Fabulous doughnuts and apple cider slush. Lots of good homemade jellies to buy. Very unique place.read more

Heading west on Highway 24 there's a big sign that says "Cider Donuts" shortly before you reach…read moreTopeka and the exit is immediately after the sign (I missed it several times). Well this time I watched and immediately put my blinker on and made the exit (it's hidden by trees right as you come around the corner). It's a medium smaller sized store with some produce and cider and cider donuts! The donuts are by the cash register in brown paper bags and sold by half dozen bags for just under $5 with tax. They are really good! I'm used to the ones in Louisburg south of Overland Park, but these are softer and more fluffy cake cider donuts covered in more cinnamon and sugar. They are worth the stop! I saw they have cider ice cream too, but didn't try it.

The prior week we had put on the same event in Oklahoma City where the answer to nearly every question was a firm "no." Topeka was nothing like this - thankfully! We had last minute changes, including adding four tables to the back and changing the entire room from 7-top tables to 6-top tables. In about 10 minutes, the entire room had been rearranged! It was fantastic. The team was agreeable, always cheerful, always excited to help make the event fantastic. I would cheerfully return to this venue to do another event. Everything was done elegantly, with class and grace!

We arrived at 2pm and were told that we could not sit on the tables inside till 3pm because there was an event going on. There are no chairs on the inside by the bar. The only chairs we were told we could sit on were the ones outside. We patiently waited till three. We went inside because the weather was hot as heck that day. The event was still going on up until 4:15. When we asked if we could go sit in the room, that was suppossed to be available to anyone at 3, we were still denied indoor seating. There were a total of 8 in our party and the owner did nothing to accomodate our needs. The room that was "rented" was only half full too. He was complety unprofessional and obviously didnt care that we were paying customers trying to celebrate my friends 30th bday. We will not be going back. The two stars are one for the nice bartender and 2 for the decent scenery.

Apparently on Saturday's they have bands, check out the schedule on Facebook.
