Midtown Arts Center

The play, Ragtime, was great! The staff, wonderful! Five stars for that. Though my wife loved her filet, the veggies where over cooked. My pesto cream penne had more of a butter sauce then a cream sauce but had very good flavor. It was with cherry tomatoes and chicken,,, to bad I got only one tomato. I give the food three stars over all. Good evening in all. I will return.

The show was fantastic, highly recommend. My wife and I had a dinner out on Saturday night & it's was like a date. She loved the show & the meal, which the meal was included in the tickets, the tickets were not expensive. It's was more than we expected, we definitely coming back. Everybody needs make some time to come and see the show. you won't regret it!

The shows here are always top notch! They do a great job of recruiting talented individuals who not only excel at entertainment, but also offer fabulous service. The only reason I rate it 4 stars and not five is that I find the food underwhelming. Certainly not bad, and they always have creative twists in the menu that tie in to the show, but the food itself is the least spectacular aspect of this dinner theatre experience. I look forward to seeing many more shows put on by Midtown.

Actors wonderful!!! Extremely talented!!! Food is not so great. They had salad on our tables when we got there and they were wilted. Payed $3 extra for a cup of coffee. It was so weak that it gagged me. The stuffed chicken was actually only two slices from a stuffed breast of chicken each about a half inch thick. It was not a whole breast and it was dry. If you want a "better" meal, you have to pay at least $11 to $18 more. They also put the guilt trip on you to tip heavily because evidently that is the only way the actors get paid. When they say dinner is included in the price of the ticket , its not a completely true statement.

Service was ok and food was very good. I do think $60 for a chicken dinner and a play is a little bit much though, especially for a matinee. Desserts, drinks and an appetizers were not included. This would be a much better value if everything were included for your money. Steak and other food upgrades were extra. The food was brought out in a timely manner and was pretty good considering they had to have most of it done to service the couple hundred people that are ordering all at once. It is a comfortable dining atmosphere where you turn your chairs to watch the play after you were done eating. At intermission dessert is served at a rapid pace and gives you plenty of time to chat with anybody you were with and eat your dessert comfortably. If you were looking for a fun first date or something to just park the night I would recommend this, but it is kind of expensive for the value.

The center is nice but the current show, Fun Town, is not as described. It's a gay/lesbian show, which is fine, but they need to be brave enough to describe it as it is, not as a southern fun family musical. The food was good if you pay for the upgrade s but it definitely adds up to double the price of the tickets very quickly when you add on beverages and desserts. Wait staff is pleasant but some people went without because they ran out of the food they had ordered and even the alternate food.
