We came for our dinner after the playhouse performance, We did get a great table location. The restaurant filled up quickly. The server was very nice but, I think overextended. Food was good. We have been there in the past where we felt it was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant. We will be back again. great location to the Bojou with a user friendly parking lot adjacent to the theater and the restaurant.

The Maître d' and Waiter, Joe, carefully selected a wonderful spot for our table. Just as we had analyzed the virtues of the outstanding choices on the menu, Joe then outlined four scrumptious specials of the day. The starter we had was the eggplant. The mains we had were the house made pasta with mushrooms and the chicken Milanese. The wines paired nicely. Wonderful, traditional dining experience. Highly recommend.
