My Theatre Pre-Fixe meal was varied and delicious. I had the Chef's fish selection over gnocchi. Excellent sauce and perfectly cooked fish. Our servers were attentive and prompt. The music was lovely, lighting perfectly balanced, and our table well-appointed. Well within my price expectations in NYC.
