Great place to eat if you're attending something at the Denver Center or in the neighborhood. Hours focus on being open around major shows at DCPA. Rebecca was our server today and she was stellar. Helpful, attentive, friendly...

The people at Prelude and Post were so very helpful to my large party today. They made sure we all were seated, served and finished before the show without any worries. Excellent!

The veggie omelet was disappointing. The veggies were not sautéed and the cheese was minimal and not melted. It was very dry and not appealing. The server was very friendly but busy. Both our table and the one next to ours had to flag her down to ask for ketchup. No refills on coffee. The upside is it is conveniently located for the theaters.

We were seated at a 'community' table. Not my thing, too much up and down, much too loud so I couldn't even hear my dinner companion. And background music just added to the cacophony. Not sure I'll be back again - this isn't the kind of dining experience I seek out. The server was wonderful though - very attentive, friendly, answered questions and was prompt in checking in on us and bringing the bill when we were ready to make our exit.

The menu is not very good. There are not enough choices. The addition of hamburgers, meatloaf, maybe a shrimp and pasta dish, or a few other things would be appreciated.
