Cozy restaurant with excellent food. Great jazz in background. Noise level was low at 6:30, picked up towards 7:30-8. Given small size of restaurant the tables are close together but small price to pay for all the positives.

Food was quite wonderful, surprisingly so for a venue close to theater. A little noisier than I would have liked but to be proximate to our show (7 PM curtain) made it a worthwhile trade-off. Would absolutely return, my new "go to" restaurant for theater evenings.
