New Year’s Eve 2024
Great music! Slider bar was not great and no champagne at midnight. Didn't really mind that was missing but thought I would mention it. Loved the music!

The whole vibe of this place is really neat. Cool decorations and the staff wear neat costumes. Food was very good, be it a little expensive. We paid 15$ a person to stay for the entertainment, Tony Ocean. He was entertaining and all but when he got political and had to talk about making America great again it really was annoying. Can't go anywhere these days without this crap getting shoved down your throat. It just felt so forced and out of place and put a damper on an otherwise great night. If we come back we will definitely make sure to avoid Mr Ocean.

What a cute place. The billy joel/Elton John performance was awesome!!The food was pricey, but only $10 for the show made it well worth it. The lemon chicken $28 was really good. The two hotess ladies were REALLY GREAT. The waitress was nice as well. Why this place was not packed is the mystery.

My wife and I were there on Feb 15th, for our 1st time. I made reservations for 7:30pm, for the Valentine's Day dinner and show special. It started off a little rough. We were seated closest to the stage, under a speaker. We had our water glasses filled. Then literally sat and waited for 30 mins before a server came up to our table! While other servers were buzzing past us.

We finally got a server and we asked to move tables. She kindly moved us further back. As she agreed that the original table would of been a rough spot when the band started. She thoroughly explained the food menus and took our drink orders. She was super friendly and attentive. Which quickly changed our moods.

There weren't anymore long gaps for us during the night. Food was amazing! And the drinks were spot on! We didn't catch her name. But she was a short petite girl, in a gold flapper dress, with a tattoo on her wrist and rib cage. We hope to return soon and get her as our server again!

Tony Ocean was also a hit for the night! He sounded great and was very entertaining!

We'll definitely be back! We can't believe we waited this long to check this place out.

Great service. Mentioned it was a birthday trip for concert in my reservation request and they gave me a free desert! And got to play plinko and won two free tickets to any upcoming concert. Fun night watching Zebra....the best 80 rock band no one knows about!🤔🤣

We had dinner at Club Arcada before seeing a concert downstairs. The food was ok for a reasonable price, especially in light of the impressive atmosphere. Our server was doing her best (hence 4 stars instead of 3 which is probably more accurate) but the place was SO understaffed. The few servers were running around like “chickens with their head cut off” but not able to keep up with the number of guests to serve anyone well and in a timely manner. If the place was better staffed and offered faster/more attentive service, we’d love to go back. Poor business practice, not the server’s fault.

We came for dinner and the show. The atmosphere is amazing. This place is a lot of fun. The service was attentive, friendly and really....it was perfect. The dinner menu is limited, not the biggest selection but it's good enough. Biggest thing was its a jazz/blues themed speakeasy nightclub. The Saturday we were there they had a classic rock band. They were good, but for more of the bar scene. In this venue I thought they were out of place. Actually, considering the extent they go through to really get into the prohibition Era theme.....it would make sense to have a jazz/blues band playing. That was my biggest and only concern. Otherwise.....it was great night!!!

Great food, but the drinks could have be stronger. It's a fun atmosphere for dancing and live music. Our server was on the slow side, but they were very busy. The one thing that took away from giving 5 stars was when we got the check, it had a handwritten note saying, "credit card fee 0.03% sorry." But that is completely untrue. It was actually almost a 2.8% credit card fee and they don't tell you until you get your bill. This information should be on the menu because the average person does not carry hundreds of dollars on them in cash.
