Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in DUMBO

Grilled Octopus was delicious and so was the bruschetta on crusty bread. Our table had Salmon, snapper Steak,and veal Milanese, Chicken Milanese - All Were great We felt a little rushed on a Sundayafternoon after Christmas because we had asked the waiter to delay our entrees because we had some appetizers to finish Other than that —everything was great Highly recommend the chocolate mouse and chocolate layer cake for dessert. The restaurant was decorated with pretty holiday decorations

Our waiter AUSTIN was exceptionally helpful. One guest was having a diabetic episode and we had to get food to him immediately. He was most helpful.

What a great underrated spot in Hells Kitchen. The restaurant is comfortable, not packed in like sardines like most these days. Their service is warm, friendly and efficient. Plenty to choose from on their menu including Branzino, Trout (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and Salmon if you are looking for fish. They also have wonderful preparations of steak, chicken and duck including a pasta dish.

This is my 2nd time here. I made reservations weeks ahead of time due to the holiday. I was only able to get outside lobby area. Upon arrival I asked if anything was available inside and they had high top bar seating available at their “seafood bar”. I was with my friend and our daughters under twenty one. Since it was freezing they wanted the inside. We had no trouble talking and the view from this spot was nice. Our server Dorji was EXCELLENT. He was very attentive to our needs and made great suggestions on drinks. We decided on the espresso martini and it was perfect. Our arrival was before 6 so the prix fix was available and you definitely get a lot for your money. The salad was okay but the French onion soup was wonderful and really hit the spot on a cold day. Two of us had the coq au vin and that was delicious. My friend had the steak and was happy. My daughter ordered the NY strip off the regular menu. She loved the fries, enjoyed the steak but said the cut was a little tough. We had crème brûlée which was a wonderful way to end the meal. The location of the restaurant is perfect if you are in town for the holidays. The place was decorated beautifully as well.

Great casual atmosphere. A bit noisy but not overwhelming. Food very good and service excellent.
