Blah. That's the best way to describe our experience.
The Hard Rock cafe has average food, served by fairly inattentive staff. The only thing this place has going for it is the ambiance.
Rock and roll memorabilia litters the walls and ceilings. Video monitors show rock and roll videos (mostly oldies when we were there). The ever present music is a strange mix of new stuff and oldies.
Perhaps I'm just too old to really enjoy this type of cafe, but we had some pretty good coupons (2 for 1), so we gave it a shot. We'd probably go back if we were on a tight budget, but not if we wanted really good food.
The patio dining is not bad, even though it is in the middle of a very busy area. Lots of plants and well placed screens tend to shut out most of the noise and distractions.
Non-smoking section is available, but the area that we were seated in tended to be smokey anyway.
This place does get busy at night.
