"No servers during happy hour. We arrived early for dinner and were told that there would be no servers, that we would have to go order at the bar. Bartender was great, good strong drinks. This place seems good for groups, but not for any type of romantic celebration. Dinner menu was slim, but appetizer was good. We left without ordering dinner. Can't say I was impressed."

"We had a nice time. My Mom loved the pianist and we had a lovely table next to him. Though it wasn't very crowded or really even half full, we still enjoyed the atmoshphere. We can't wait to come back at night. Picky eaters won't have a lot to choose from on the food menu - the buffalo burger was good for mine (husband). The pulled pork tacos were great! The delightful twists on the mimosa's were soooo delicious - wanted to try all of them! I do wish they would've clarified that "free mimosas for Mothers" meant only your first one...since they were so great, I can let that slide. We'll be back - but in the evening for drinks and a show!"

"I thought it was just a night club, but realized they serve food. The menu is not typical bar food however. I was impressed actually. I would recommend it for lunch and dinner."

"I very much enjoyed the show and the atmosphere. Although I was very disappointed with the service and food. It took 35 minutes to get our first drinks; then our food came out about 30 minutes later but not all together. My spouse steak was served then it took 20 minutes before my salad came another 5 minutes for my friends salad then 15 additional minutes for my other guests shrimp dish to come. The server was very friendly and positive but something was not right either it was the kitchen backed up and the bar too."

"The ambience is alright, but the owners of prohibition should have visited the Strip House. Much classier and more scandelous"

"A friend and I celebrated our birthday here on a Tuesday night with a group of our other friends, and the service was outstanding. Every drink that was concocted for us from the bar was delicious and fit our tastes. The waitstaff was very helpful, and very patient, with our group. We even took photos together with the staff at the end of the night, to commemorate the occasion. It was a very memorable experience, and I highly recommend Prohibition."

"My wife and I arrived to a softly-lit and cozy ambience. We weren't approached immediately, but as soon as we were greeted we felt welcomed. Our food was quick (not too busy on a Thursday night), and we enjoyed the hummus. My wife was a bit disappointed with such small portions for our main course, but the flavor was note worthy."
