Three Dots & a Dash was one of many things I had planned for a girls weekend and it didn't disappoint! I liked everything from the entry way to the décor, and the overall vibe. It was really fun having a 'different' experience. We made a reservation for 7, were seated immediately, enjoyed many of the fun drinks that were offered along with the Grand Pu Pu Platter. The food was good! We never felt rushed and I would do it again in a minute!

Very talented group of improv actors. Audience participation was a must and the stage did not fail to impress. Very clean act.... some innuendo and the only F bomb thrown out was an appropriate comment. Lots of laughs
