    Had dinner here after a matinee at the Lyric and had steak frites. Great choice as the steak was cooked as ordered and the frites were excellent. However, on the menu it said Au poivre but there wasn’t much pepper on the steak or the sauce as I expected. Friendly staff and cozy decor make the place a good option for dining.

    Fantastic pre-show dinner! The roasted salmon on pesto mashed potatoes was the best I’ve ever had. Wonderful waiter who brought our food in a timely manner without making us feel rushed. Definitely recommend!

    I found a worm in my salad. Too bad because everything on the menu sounded delicious. The manager apologized but no discount given. No reply to my email either.

    Everything was great with one exception. We had a reservation, but a sign on the door said it was closed for a Private Party, so we had to go to a hotel next door for access. I was meeting my wife there for dinner so it made things complicated. Next time TELL PEOPLE. I'm not upset--- everything else was great.

    The clam chowder was only slightly warm. I know it was busy but the service was absolutely terrible.
