One of the least organized formal dining experiences I've experienced.
No signage anywhere throughout the entire Lyric Opera house - nowhere. We must've walked into 6 different entries, told different things by different, not at all helpful people.
We finally find it (it's a door that says "employee entrance", by the way), and wait in a 20-minute line for someone to bring us to the elevator. Nobody said what we were supposed to be doing (again, no signage here either, had to ask other patrons). The security guard was loudly yelling into her phone on facetime with someone else who had kids running around yelling. Didn't acknowledge us once. Didn't tell us to have our vaccine cards/IDs out - didn't know we needed that until the people right before us were showing theirs.
A man came down and demanded to see our ballet tickets (weird, because the people before us didn't have to show those), then as he got tired of waiting for me to pull them up on the phone told me to show them when I came down after dinner (originally the plan, but ok). He wasn't clear whether I should follow him, so I started to, and he told me to go back. K.
The waitress kept forgetting basic things about our order (I asked for coffee 3 times), but otherwise everything was good about the actual food. Good tasting, came out relatively quickly, nice and hot, nothing unexpected, nice big portions. The fish was delicious and cooked perfectly. Prix fixe is a nice easy setup, paying ahead of time was easy as well. The price was reasonable for good food.
Women's bathroom is hard to find, and, shocker, another security guard on their phone unwilling to help. As I was in the bathroom, several male workers were coming in and out of the bathroom without announcing themselves etc. - shocked to see there's a STAFF DOOR IN THE BATHROOM!
