My sister-in-law and I had dinner before a show at Blumenthal. We both had grilled salmon and shared carrots and maple acorn squash. It was superb! Chocolate tart with butter pecan Gelato was shared for dessert and was outstanding. Our waiter, Nate, was attestation, informative, and made our dining experience a perfect one. We will return!
