    Elvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.

    We arrived early however they seated us right away and sat us on the second floor as requested. The waitress was very friendly and was able to answer all our questions and make suggestions. The food courses were perfectly timed and met our expectations. Delicious. If you have room for desert I would recommend the cheesecake. Overall a fun, relaxing experience before the theater.

    Everything was fabulous. We had Scampi, salad and the mushroom ravioli which was to die for! It is very noisy there however. My only other comment would be that the family style service gives you a lot of food for 2. We did finish everything because it was so delicious but just barely.

    My friend and I chose Becco for our pre-theatre celebration of my milestone birthday. The servers could not have been nicer or more attentive. We each chose their special of ceasar salad or antipasto and entree of 3 different pastas. The food was delicious and plentiful. We couldn’t even finish it. We topped other off with the tri-flavor sorbet dessert in which they put a candle and sang happy birthday to me. It was a very special dining experience.
