Great show poor food
The show is always great. We were disappointed with the dinner. This year they did not have a steak option. I assume it became too expensive to provide steaks although the cost of dinner and shoe were very expensive for what it was. Overall not a great food experience.

As someone with a solo ticket, it was weird to sit at a table of 4 with a couple. And that wasn't mentioned prior in email communications...
