    Excellent food and service. Great pre-theatre location. Gets even busier as that first seating heads to the shows.

    The food was very good. We each had the pre theater menu. They were busy, and yet the noise level was low. My wife and I had a conversation at normal speaking levels. The service was excellent, we had our dinner in just under an hour. Giving us plenty of time to walk to our show.

    The food on the Pre-Theatre menu was of excellent quality and in abundant proportions. The service was excellent. I particularly appreciated the addition of vegan items to the entree and dessert menus.
