Ratings
restaurantVisitor Tips
- ◆ Arrive at least 15 to 30 minutes before opening, as long lines to enter and order typically form down the sidewalk.
- ◆ Bring cash or checks, as the restaurant does not accept credit or debit cards, though ATMs are available on-site.
- ◆ Submit your favorite song requests on the slips provided near the stage, and consider leaving a tip for the organist to help get your song played.
- ◆ Walk up to the balcony level during the show for a closer look at the intricate pipe chambers and a panoramic view of the presentation.
Heads Up
- ◆ The volume inside the dining hall can be extremely loud during performances, which may be overwhelming for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
- ◆ Seating is entirely first-come, first-served and communal, meaning you will likely share a long table with other parties during peak hours.
