The first group of musicians were Great! The 2nd round is just plane stupid. A man in a huge skirt twirls and twirls around and then goes around the tables hoping to get a tip and puts his colored hat on people's heads while he twirls his skirt. STUPID! The 3rd and final performance is a belly dancer who is absolutely beautiful and skilled. But it's only 1 dancer! That was a bit disappointing. I paid for a table…”
