I ordered the nacho plate and it was covered in barbecue sauce. That's a bit unusual, I will need to remember to ask for hot sauce instead. I am not used to sweet nachos. But I guess I am just learning the menu. It was quite a lot of food for the price. And the souvenir glass with free refills is a definite must.

The service was ok- a lot of guests to serve obviously but our server always delivered even if it took her a little while to do so (ie knives for the table took a while to receive, but she did not forget). The ambiance is interesting ~it's definitely an old building and it looks like they're trying to capture that. It did have a sewer smell throughout the whole night which I'm not sure if that's an old building thing or what. On to the show- it was great! We really enjoyed it! The tables are pretty close together so we scooted ours to get a little more room- expect to not have much wiggle room while seated. All in all a nice place to catch a comedy gig!

Entrance was $20 for the show and there was no drink minimum. This is a huge bonus for me since I don't drink alcohol or soda, so I always have to buy $14-$16 worth of water. Drink prices were reasonable and service was great. The bar was small but cozy, and the stage was off in a side room where the comedians performed. As for the show, there were at least 3 openers prior to the headliner, and as a bonus, several open-micers went up after the main show. We'll worth $20.

Not every comedian is a smash hit but they consistently book up and coming talent in addition to tenured stars. Food is good enough if you're hungry but nothing that will knock your socks off. Bottomless popcorn is a solid deal. Openers are usually great. A must visit for local comedy fans.

I went to a purchase a ticket for the Saturday night Whose Line show, but it sold out! I called and they said they have a few overflow seat accommodations, and I should come anyway.

This is the second time we've partnered with Spitfire for one of our veteran events, and their team continues to impress us with their professionalism, flexibility, and ability to deliver a truly fun evening. They are incredibly easy to work with, and the show was absolutely hilarious. The audience participation felt natural and welcoming, never forced, allowing those who wanted to join in to do so comfortably. By the end of the night, our group was full of laughter and gratitude, with many giving the experience rave reviews. In fact, several veterans were already planning to return for one of Spitfire's free Wednesday night events! That kind of response says everything about the quality of entertainment and care Spitfire provides. Thank you to the entire team for making our veterans feel so valued and giving them such a joyful night. Pam Plager Program Manager Operation: Veteran Connect

We were encouraged to mingle with everyone around the room including the others at our table. The people were nice and the food was fine. The "Detective" show portion of the evening was three acts and it was incredibly cheesy. I was not very entertained but I'm sure others were as it just was not really my thing. I really wanted to socialize with the group I was with instead of watch was seemed to be a drawn out 3 hour program. I went because I was invited by a group and would potentially go again if someone asked but I wouldn't ask others to go for any special occasion on my behalf.

Salads and dessert placed on the table ahead, sitting there warming for hours. Ew. Chicken picatta had zero sauce, had "funky" chicken parts, dry. Mashed potatoes were ok.

The exhibit is setup through a loading dock in the back, but it was really well done, and the setup was really appropriate for the display. If you are a Banksy fan, I recommend going before the exhibit leaves. The last day is September 27, 2026. We spent over an hour looking at the large samplings of his work. It was easy to buy tickets online and there was no issue using our QRcode to get admitted. The event was crowded but we were able to take all the time we wanted to see the exhibit and they had a nice merch selection at the end. The only thing was finding parking ahead of time. Since we went during the day, the parking for the center wasn't directly available. I ended up using the ParkWhiz app to find parking a block or two away, which worked out well. I'd definitely go to another event at this center, as it was easy to get in and out of the area and if you have more time, there are a lot of restaurants nearby and it's not far from river walk or other museum/art destinations.

The main theater is very large, and depending on where you sit, you can be quite far from the stage. Unfortunately, that can take away from the experience, especially when you're trying to watch a play or see the orchestra. Ticket prices have also increased significantly, and when you add the cost of parking at the public lot across the street, it can make for a very expensive evening. At this point, some ticket prices rival actual Broadway prices, which is pretty insane. Overall, I'd still recommend going to see a show at least once to experience the theater. It's a nice venue and there's a lot to enjoy, but I do think the rising prices and seating distance are worth considering when planning your visit.
