    Everything about this place is great but steak knives with your steak would be good. Food excellent and musicians are great. You can do requests and there wasn't many they couldn't do. Very enjoyable with fantastic atmosphere. Would recommend definitely

    This place is honestly amazing! Me and my friends had the best time at one of their bottomless brunches. Service was amazing, and Kelly/Kels was an incredible server and so much fun, which really boosted the atmosphere. Everyone was dancing and having a great time! You definitely get your moneys worth with the bottomless brunch!! The food was really amazing as well, definitely recommend the spicy chicken burger. Overall the experience was amazing and I can’t wait to go back again!! 😊

    What a fantastic afternoon! We attended Playlist Live as a group of 8 ladies to celebrate a birthday at the Mama Mia Brunch. The atmosphere was buzzing from start to finish thanks to the fantastic servers, talented musicians and fun, interactive DJ. If you are looking for flowing drinks, a fun crowd and party vibes this is the place for you!
