Beautiful building and friendly staff. Only critique is the seating, the chairs are horribly uncomfortable. Other than that I loved it.

My daughter had her bridal shower there. VERY NICE PLACE. Besides that, I love the history behind it. It has held Art Exibits and other events there. Well worth the money paid for such a vintage place. My Respect and Salute to it.

I had a wonderful time with my wife, the place is very nice , clean and the performance was awesome! My only two suggestions are to cover up the windows so if you go to the early 6:30 concert there is no day light coming in so we can have the full experience of the candle lights concert and to maybe have refreshments to sell.

#candlelightconcert This was a surprise event that my husband bought tickets for on Valentines Day. The ambiance was beautiful. The musicians were very professional and did a fantastic job with the music selections. They played a variety of timeless pieces, from opera, to classical, all from different parts of the world. One of the members explained what they would be playing and where the music originated from. It was a very enjoyable experience. This was my first time at a live quartet and they did exceptional! At the end they had an extra surprise and it was so cool. They played beautifully.

Positives: The candlelight concert itself was amazing!! Negatives: The chairs are HORRIBLE!! My back was aching the rest of the night. Oh and it s not first come first serve. It s wherever the ushers feel like seating you.

We attended a candlelit quartet concert here during the Christmas season. The restroom facilities were limited and the rental chairs rather hard, but the setting was hushed and captivating. The street parking was plentiful. The neighborhood was quiet, with a few other businesses nearby.

The building is, I guess, the star of this review, so I will nevermind the event I was there for. The building is nicely restored and pretty inside. There was plenty of room to hold the candle light concert. The building even has operating restrooms! Can you imagine that? It really is a nice building.
