    Dinner was AMAZING! Everything was perfect. And the staff was warm and caring. No one berated us for being late due to unexpected weather and traffic issues. We did not feel rushed but staff knew we had theatre tix and yet we were comfortable and relaxed. Just a lovely experience. Worth every penny!

    Lovely atmosphere, great service, friendly, warm and charming. Expensive for portions you get ($13.99 for a side of broccoli rabbe - about 5-6 modest forkfuls at beast) and not bowled over by the food. Perfectly fine, go for the ambiance and proximity to the theater.
