Went to Agatha's for the first time last night and had a blast. I was timid about going due to the online reviews and so kept my expectations in line with what I had read - low. I don't know if it was because we went on a Friday night, if the folks that came that evening were the type that didn't take themselves too seriously and were there just to enjoy themselves, or what, but we had a great time. Yes, the play is a little cheesy, but that's part of the fun, watching audience members say the cheesy lines, while the rest of us laugh and clap, egging them on. The ""real"" actors were great and put themselves into their roles. \r

Surprisingly, the food was good for the venue type. It's not five-star quality but it was good. I had the Salmon and my friend the Chicken Marsala and both were tender and juicy. Too, the prices of drinks from the bar were in line with what I would expect to pay for drinks at this type of venue in any major city. And the service? It was excellent. Truly. The wait staff was polite and efficient, but every request was immediately taken care of. \r

With something of this nature, one must put themselves out there and join in. If you go with the expectation of food from a five-star resteraunt along with being entertained by oscar-winning performances, you'll be disappointed. If you go with an open mind, expecting to do your part in the entertainment process, and a sense of community, you'll have a great time. Oh, btw, if there's only 2 in your party don't worry because you'll have a good time as you'll soon make friends with everyone at your table!
