Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in East Elmhurst

We reserved 5 pm dinner between our matinee & 7 pm evening shows at the Music Box and Golden theaters. The food was great, the service was impeccable, and we had no trouble at all getting from theater to restaurant to theater with plenty of time to spare. This is the place for your total Broadway experience!

Food and service are outstanding in our neighborhood restaurant. Wish I discovered it sooner!

Best place ever before the theatre! Great food and service with the perfect location.

Barbaresco never fails to deliver a delicious meal and gracious service. One of the few places left in Manhattan where you can reliably get a delicious meal at a reasonable price. My dining companions who had not eaten there before were equally impressed and happy to have a new place to go to for delicious Italian cuisine in a comfortable, relaxed setting.

This was our second time dining at Marseille, having dined there last year during our annual visit to NYC to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. That visit was very good, and this visit was excellent. The food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. I had the risotto to start, and the shortribs for my main course, and my companion had the salmon. All were done to perfection, and perfectly seasoned. For dessert I had the fresh berries with cream, and she had the raspberry sorbet. A couple of the things I liked about the restaurant was they did not have a laundry list of specials, which can be annoying to me. They also don't have a "diner" menu that encompasses four or five pages. It's just two pages, which tells me they prefer to concentrate on what they do well. Our server, Emilio, was attentive and knowledgeable, and I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get his attention. If your in Midtown Manhattan, and you wish to dine in an excellent French restaurant, go to Marseille.
