by Shannon C. on The experience was totally awesome. Very euro. Try the olive oil ice cream. It was GREAT. I'm not a fan of the kind of food it serves, and it was still great.
by Jessica K. on I had no idea about this place, but when I found out one of my favorite bands was playing here I was excited to check out a new venue. Man, I wish more bands I liked played here! What an awesome place to see a show!! Obviously the theater is gorgeous. The whole place is just a treat for the eyes, and you really do feel transported back in time when you walk in. The sound during the show was fantastic and the minimal lighting and the cool curtain really added to my enjoyment of the show. The drinks were pretty reasonably priced ($6 for a bottle of beer, $8 for a cocktail...honestly, I was expecting to pay more), and the bathrooms were clean and large. We found a close parking lot for $3, and there was an ample array of drinking and dining options within walking distance. Apparently I lucked out with seating. I'm a tall drink of water, but our seats were in the front row of the mezzanine, so no seats in front of me. I was able to spread my long legs out all over the dang place, and never felt crowded or cramped. I guess this is the key...it sounds like I would have had to fold myself in half had our seats ended up being anywhere else. I REALLY enjoyed the concert-going experience at the Orpheum and I look forward to seeing more shows here...if bands I like are playing. Seeing a show here was a real treat.
