Great place for Pre-theater dinner. Excellent food at a fair price. Don’t miss the Parker rolls and hush puppies. Service is very fast. I highly recommend.

I LOVED this place! What a fantastic experience! Loved the 20’s vibe, decor was beautifully done. They had a specially printed menu and card ready for my birthday. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The food was fantastic - items such as crab dip and gnocchi that can often be too heavy were perfectly light, not too overbearing. Autumn salad was perfectly dressed. Crab cakes had actual crab in them. Tasty savory sauce on the bok choy. My friend loved his duck. They even had birthday macarons! Anyone looking for a pre-show dinner should definitely go here. Though maybe not because you won’t want to leave and you might miss your show (like we nearly did, we were enjoying ourselves so much). Go on a day when you’re not in a rush out the door. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

    The experience was everything we had hoped for as we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Our waitress, Molly, never made us feel rushed and was extremely thoughtful. The food was delicious. We will be back!

    Magnificent. From start to finish. The experience is refined, the environment is beautiful, attention to detail is thoughtful and the staff were exceptional. What more is there to say? A splurge - but worth it.

    Had such a great experience here! The food was excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was amazing from the moment we arrived. Everyone on the team was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire meal. A special shoutout to Marion, who was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, sweet, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.
