Went in before a show at the Lyceum and it was perfect. The cocktails and food were very tasty, as well as the pace of the meal was good. Felicity, the server, was lovely and very accommodating!

Very nice dining experience in a great location for anyone going to the theatre. We ate on a Tuesday night which may have been why the restaurant was quiet but the ambience was very enjoyable. Our servers were attentive, courteous, and made us feel at home. The shepherds pie is solid though not spectacular. There was a salmon special that was excellent. The mini lamb chops are a nice way to start. All in all a very nice place for a casual dinner.

Truly a very fine establishment overall. But they will persevere and earn a 5 th star. And we will return. Excellent location for the Broadway theatre bound to make the curtain.

Tony and Daniel at the bar are absolutely delightful. The spinach artichoke dip with the smoked salmon on brown bread is delicious.
