Great! We entered with 20 min. to eat, run down the street & get into the theater . Our food order was placed before we sat down. Food was delish. Folks were the best. Got to the theater 5 min. early!

Emily Scheer

Really mindful of theater crowds. Waiter even asked us our showtime when he seated us!

Staff was super friendly and attentive. Classic American fare on menu- good for a quick, tasty bite to eat, especially if you need the convenience of being near the theater district.

Ny theater scene classic, with great service, food & drinks! Plus there's usually some good show going on downstairs!!!

The baby lamb chops and kale and octopus salad were the perfect meal. Our service outside was pretty awful though.

Must try the Truffle Mac & Cheese - made with orzo and so good. Was a great starter to split.

Peter Hurley

I said it before and I'll say it again. Even if you don't like Mac-n-cheese you need to order it here PEOPLE!

Michelle Okeke

Pretty expensive . I would say that the Grilled Shrimp small plate was my favorite. I wish there was more shrimp though - only came with 3 shrimp and cost 11 bucks.

Pat Dwyer

Came for brunch. It was excellent. They have an open buffet as well as a menu to order off of. Come on a VERY empty stomach and with company so you can try a bit of everything. Staff was also amazing. - David Milberg
