    It would have been nice to hear the original Hard Rock playlist since there was no DJ or live music

    I attended the SO AMAZING – TRIBUTE TO LUTHER VANDROSS FT JOEL ZUMA The T bone steak was done medium as I order but was tough, dry and not flavorful. The was also a lot of noise from the other section of the restaraunt that even Joel had to ask that their music be turned down. I was expecting dinner and dance but there was no dance floor. The dress code was dress to impress but the ambience was more casual dining. The music was good but the overall experience did not meet my expectation.
