   Came for a dinner pre-show and the convenience was the only positive aspect. They were clearly understaffed and after our order was taken, we were barely checked on. The Parker house rolls were tasty, but the burrata was somehow dry and came with a burnt crostini. The salmon was overcooked with an uneven horseradish crust.

   Aaron the host held down the house. Table touches all around. Knows he way around the restaurant. Duck dish was good and pickles were tasty. Only issue was the schnitzel was extra salty and sausage was 86ed. Hold back on the seasoning and the dish will be good. Bar was slammed and took a long time to get drinks to my guests. All in all this is a great place to come to for a pre show dining experience.

   Live in Manhattan and rarely eat in this area , But chose this because it was next door to theatre. Amazingly surprised. Food was quite good, service impeccable . Will absolutely come back again, even if not attending theatre My only problem is That I left 3 messages trying to add an additional person and phone call never returned

   We enjoyed our meals in this restaurant. The menu was quite interesting in its offerings. We both had the Pre Theater Menu and it was a great value with a nice choice of offerings. The vegetable relish placed on the table was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. My only issue was the small size of the table and a lot of dishes. A larger table would have been nicer. It is a definite go back to restaurant.

   Incredible staff and cozy environment. For those who have hearing issues, it is quiet but there is music playing. Was still manageable:)

   The Wedge Salad was sinfully delicious with its dense smokey bacon bits and a creamy dressing over the bright crisp lettuce. The lemon thyme roasted chicken was equally above average. the Butternut lasagna deserves its own fan club. Good choices of wines by the glass. The staff was meticulously attentive. It would have been a great experience if we could have had a civil conversation. The music was so loud and the surrounding diners were shouting over it to be heard at their own tables. Who is the music for anyway? What is the point of going to dinner with people it is impossible to talk to?

   We did the Dinner Prix Fixe and the food choices were great, and it tasted amazing! The service was excellent! They asked if we were going to a show and worked to make sure we were done timely! Loved the atmosphere also!!

    Made a reservation here last minute as it was one of few restaurants available. We had the squash lasagna, which was more of a vegetable lasagna as the squash was overpowered by all the other vegetables. Not bad, just misleading. The Pork Snitzel was a bit dry. The Parker house rolls were over rated. Our waiter was great, food was below average for NYC. Cocktails were strong, but in typical NY fashion it was $83.00 for two double gin and tonics.
