Don Dunbar: Great evening - the symphony pops group did a fantastic job of integrating w Pink Martini. Seats were in BB center with a very good view of the stage. Easy parking. They just needed more bartenders.

Christy Landes: Get a martini with blue cheese olives at the bar. Great steaks of course but their chilled seafood is also tops: shrimp cocktail and king crab. Bread is worth the carbs!
