    Picked this restaurant on Open Table and it was the perfect choice for us before going to the theater. Caesar Salad was very good. We also ordered the Smoked Salmon starter and the Margherita Pizza. The service was very good and and we did not feel rushed. The decor is very nice and the staff very welcoming. Will definitely be going back.

    Hidden gem in the theater district. Casual but classier than the Irish pubs around it. Food is pretty elevated. I had delicious lobster ravioli and everyone else was happy with their meal. We were a large party and service was friend while efficient, and we got to the theater in plenty of time. Highly recommend!

    Nice menu options for a wide variety of palates. Decently priced food but drinks were pricier. Great little spot in midtown. Highly recommend.
