Trattoria Dopo Teatro

After reading the reviews we tried this place. Their "signature" open ravioli with lobster and porcini was HORRIBLE as was the risotto. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Pros: Service

Cons: Food

I've been taking clients to dine here over the years and they never dissapoint. The food has been consistently great. The service is been terrific. It's a pleasure to dine here. Their pizza and pastas are the greatest.

Pros: Food and service

We had a post show dinner on a Friday night and was fairly empty when we showed up but was busy within the half an hour. A great location right in the Theatre District. The appetizers were really good and the main course was just good. Not sure how often they offer a theatre discount, but the night we went we received 10% off our meal with our ticket.

Both my husband and I love food. We feel very passionately about different cusines, especially Italian. We spend a lot of time in Italy, because my husbands job. We love New York, because it has the best food from all over the world, all right here. This is our favorite Italian restaruant in New York. The pizza like that you can only find in Italy. We love it. Try the Dopo Teatro pizza with prociutto with a hint of trufle oil. Really amazing.

Pros: Best Pizza, Great service, Nice atmosphere

Posted 05/30/06

We had a great dinner here. It was a group of 10. The service was amazing. Everyone was so happy with their selections. I had tuna tartar - really good - for appetizer and open duck ravioli, as an entree. Some of my friends had the veal, pizza and pasta all terrific. Everything was really great. We were all very impressed with how organized and amazing everything was. We are planning another dinner already. Highly recommended.

Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Location

Posted 05/30/06

My girlfriends and I went out on the town. We heard about this place from other friends and decided to try it. Boy, were they right. We had a wonderful time. The food was amazing. The best pizza I've ever had. My friend's steak was great; everyone was happy with their meal. We shared some appetizers, also great.

Our waiter, Ludow, was great. He made our night. His wine recommendation was equisite and made everything that much better. If you go, try to be in Ludow's section, "the best table" in the house. Well we will definately be back and take our hubbies along this time. Highly recommended.

Pros: Great food, Great service , Beautiful space

Posted 05/15/06

My mom took me here for the first time for a pre-theater dinner. We had a great time. This is my mom's favorite place, so I didn't think I was going to like it, but I was wrong. The restaurant is beatiful. The high ceilings and the elegant decor create a wonderful ambience. The food is really what you come here for, amazing pizza. I brought my Italian husband here last night and he loved the pizza too. He said "that's what pizza is like in Rome." He barely ever gives reviews like that, so check it out.

Pros: Great food, Beautiful Decor, Close to theaters

Posted 05/02/06

I love this restaurant. I highly recommend it for dates and romantic dinners. My girlfriend loves the food and the interior design. We both work in the area, so it's convienient. They have a romantic garden downstrais. The veal is great, the steak is awesome. Fish, pasta and pizzas are great, so your date has a nice choice. The wine list has an impressive variety; the martinis are great too. I highy recommend it.

Pros: Food, Romantic, Location

Posted 05/02/06

i normally avoid times square like the bird flu. but i was going to a show and read great reviews of dopo, so why not. we ordered a glass of wine. waiter asked us if it was legal. being ID'd? ok. but we didnt know what he was talking about. the wine came ikea-like wine glasses.
we ordered pizza as an appetizer (buffalo mozz, prosciutto, and arugula). the waiter said that it was the best pizza on the menu. the cheese was so runny that the crust was soggy and it had wayyy too much garlic. the waiter asked us if he was supposed to throw the leftovers to the dogs? we also ordered the mahimahi and duck. the duck had little meat although the few bites i got were tasty. my girlfriends mahimahi was bland.
check please....
thanks to avenue q and ben and jerry's for redeeming our night.

Pros: decor

Cons: food, price, waiter

Posted 04/17/06

My boyfriend took me to the beautiful restaurant last week and I fell in love with it. The food is truely amazing. The atmosphere is romantic and grandious. The mood is just happy and up-lifting.

Service was excellent. The waiter was very nice and helpful. He suggested a great bottle of wine for us, beautifully served with a decanter. I was very impressed, it just added to the romantic evening.

We had a quiet, romantic dinner I had an delicious duck with roasted fennel. It was quite different and phenomenal in taste. My boyfriend opted for a rib-eye steak, which he was very satisfied with. We are going to be back for sure. Bravo.

Pros: Excellent food, Great wine, Romantic Atmosphere

Posted 03/24/06

This is one of my true favorites in the theater district. I'm somewhat of a theater buff, so I'm pre-theater dining all the time. The restaruant is a beatiful space. The decor is exquisite. I love the dinning room with the high ceillings and the pictures of Italian cinema on the walls.

The service is always friendly and prompt. They understand the pre-theater crowd. The service is fast and yet not pushy. The managers are always very friendly.

Now, the really important thing is the food - magnificent. I'm a meat lover and they make the best veal in town. My favorite is ossobuco, but the veal scaloppini is equally good. My husband loves their homemade pastas. The brick-oven pizza is excellent as well. We have been comming here for years and they have been consistently wonderful. My complimants to the Chef.

Pros: excellent food, beautiful decor, great fast service

Posted 03/21/06

We were running late for the theater, so we decided to go after the theater to dinner. We chose Trattoria, because we usually go here with our friends. We love the food and the ambience. It's our favorite in the city. We had a great time even late night. I was quite nice. The crawds have gone by than. The food was excellent as always. I had my favorite there, tuna tartare and bowtie pasta with salmon. My husband had the ossobuco, which is really amazing here.

The service was excellent as always. I was happy, they were as nice and friendly late night as they are durring the day : ) We had an amazing time, as always. If you want a more tranquile experience, I highly recommend it. Great ambience!

Pros: excellent food, great wine selection, friendly service

Posted 03/20/06

I have no idea how the previous reviews rave about this place, because the food was below average. I went here last night for dinner before a show. We chose the price-fixed pre theater menu. It sounded like a lot of food for the price. The bruschetta was stale, the salad was OK, the salmon was small and nothing spectacular, and was served with about a 1/2 cup of broccoli. My brother and his girlfriend both got the lasagna and it was the smallest piece I've ever seen in my life. The noodles looked burnt too. They said it was OK. I've been to a lot of other places that have an amazing price-fixed menu with excellent food-maybe there are better selections on the regular menu, but if you want a satifying, delicious Italian meal with good portions, this is not the place.

Pros: prompt seating, nice atmosphere, conveniently located

Cons: below average food

Posted 03/10/06

My husband and I love the theater and are always busy and never have time for some real discussion, so we started going to restaurants after the show to exchange thoughts. Well, we usually choose restaurants close to the theaters. This time we chose this one and I tell you, it was wonderful. They have the best tiramisu I've ever tasted and they make this mousse pastery that's delicious. It was 6 of us and we had a great time. The kitchen was still open, so some of us ordered pizza, we had some wine and discussed away. We didn't feel rushed and had a great time. It's a nice post theater destination.

Pros: great homemade desser, friendly staff, close to theaters

Posted 03/06/06

We loved this romantic, elegant restaurant. The ambience spells romance. The cozy alcoves provide a cozy hide away spots.The viberent colors, high ceilings and homey trinkets make for a picturesque scene.

Now, the food will blow you away. I had homemade bowtie pasta with salmon and asparagus - delicious. My husband had pappardelle with chunks of wild boar. The presentation was very nice. And the tiramisu was truely amazing! You should leave some room and try it.

The service was fast and professional. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeble about the wines. He made a perfect suggestion regarding the wine. We loved it so much we had him save us the label. We had an amazing time. I highly recommend it especially for late night romantic gettaway dinners. Salute!

Pros: Fabulous food/wine, Romantic ambience, Great service

Posted 02/27/06

I ate at dopo teatro last night based on the reviews here. The food was wonderful. I had the risotto, which was richly flavored with truffle oil. My mother had fettucine ragu and particularly enjoyed the fresh pasta (we wondered if it was made on the premises). And for pre-theater, the prices were pretty reasonable.

The best part, however, was the marinated vegetables on the antipasto plate. The artichokes, tomatoes, and olives were delicious. Before you order though, know that the marinated vegetables, despite what the menu says, are part of the special antipasto plate, not the regular menu one.

One word of warning - the downstairs 'garden' doesn't provide the ambience you might expect. The metal tables and chairs are packed in uncomfortably, and the 'skylight' provides a view of the floor above. I'd request to sit on the top floor.

Pros: antipasto, reasonable prices, friendly service

Cons: 'garden', inaccurate menu

Posted 02/24/06

I took my wife here for dinner before the theater. We had a wonderful time. She raved about her food. She had tuna tartare and the red snapper. I opted for meat; the ossobuco was exquisite. The service was very professional and friendly. We got there a little late, they rushed the orders for us. Wonderful, just a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!

Pros: exquisite food, friendly staff, elegant decor

Posted 02/23/06

I love theather,and i like Broadway show.
But i never like to eat out in the distric often because i always had a feeling that,theathers restaurant food is not too good,and they don't serve you well.
I was wrong,this place was really crowd,the food nice and well presented,and the service attempt and coordiante well.
the only thing suprise me was the manager ( i guess he was ) who called up our waiter almost screaming quiet loud!
well, sometimes people loose control of them self.
Nice job, hope they will keep up with it!

Pros: good food, nice wine list, great crowd

Cons: screaming fits!!

Posted 02/22/06

My boyfriend took me here for a special date. It's a beautiful restaurant. The downstrais skylight, indoor garden feels like an Italian villa. We were sitting on this little balcony by the wall waterfall, magnificent. The service was spectacular, the waiter was wonderful. He patiently recited the specials lots of times, as we couldn't decide what we wanted. He also recommended a great bottle of wine to complement our fish dishes. I had the striped bass in balsamic vinegar and garlic sauce. My boyfriend had the cod fish with capers. Both of our dishes were delicious. The wine was chilled to perfection and ellegantly served. The music, the ambience spelled romance paired with great food and prompt and proper service, it is a great destination for a date.

Pros: Romantic ambience, Great Food, Proper service

Posted 02/20/06

I took my mom to the theater and took her to dinner at Dopo Teatro. I used to work in the area this used to be my favorite lunch restaurant. Well, the pre-theater experience did not disappoint. We had a very nice waiter, attentive, despite the fact the restaurant was busy. Everyone was exteremly nice, just like I remember from a few years ago. The food was spectacular and very innovative. My mom had soft polenta with sauteed wild mushrooms, light tomato sauce and parmesan. I had filet mignon carpaccio with arugola and parmesan. Great homemade pastas. Reasonable prices, personable staff all in a beautiful, high ceiling pre-war building. Just wonderful...

Pros: Wonderful food, Beautful interior , Friendly service

Posted 02/17/06

I have come across this restaurant by accident. I'm a financial analyst, so work and live downtown. Going to the theater, we saw Trattoria Dopo Teatro and tried it. They squeesed us in with no reserations, and I'm so glad they did... What a delightful meal. I had the ossobuco - it was magnificent. My friend raved about her wide pasta tossed with chunks of wild boar. I was stunned to find such quality, so moderately priced and so close to the theater. We were so impressed, we stopped by for dessert after the show, that's when we met the chef and the friendly manager. It turns out the Chef, Roberto, was formally a chef at Osteria del Circo and Da Silvano... The prices here won't break your budget though. What a find... I'm surprized I haven't heard of them sooner, but I'm passing on the good news : )

Pros: Excellent food, Impeccable service, Ellegant decor

Posted 02/17/06

I love the theater, so I go to the pre-theater dinner a lot. This is my favorite pre-theater and it's really close to almost all the theaters. They make their own pastas and desserts, so try. The pizzas are really good. I'm a meat lover, so I will recommend the veal, out of this world, and the steak - love it. Most importantly, they understand the pre theater crowd. The service is quick and friendly. They'll seat you promptly and get you out in time for the show. A glass of wine won't hurt... I love their wine selection.

Pros: Great Food, Fast Service , Great location

Posted 02/16/06

I'm from Texas, I moved to New York recently, this restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. I had a lovely time for pre-theater dinner. The service was quick and friendly. The food was excellent. I had the ossobuco that was spectacular. The restaurant was busy, but that's to be expected on a Saturday night before the theater. I read some reviews and I agree with most of them, however, the reviewer suggesting that tourists don't know about restaurant I find appauling. I've travelled a lot and I feel that gives me a better perspective on dining than some New Yorker that never left the city. Sorry, that comment just hit a nerve... The restaurant is lovely with amazing authentic Italian food.

Pros: authentic italian, great ambience, Inexpensive

Posted 02/16/06

I just have to say, they did a great job. I surprized my wife with a dinner and Broadway show for Valentine's Day on Sat. I made arrangements with the manager beforehand and they delivered. I pre-ordered a bottle of wine to the table and sent flowers to the restaurant to be put on the table for her, when we arrived. It was perfect. We had a table downstrais in the garden, on a little balcony, very romantic. The wine and the flowers were waiting for us. The food was delicious, I had a steak - great. My wife had a lobster ravioli, she raved about. We were out in time for the play, a perfect evenning. My buddy recommended the place, we definately will be back!!!

Pros: Food/wine, Romantic ambience, Great service

Posted 02/15/06

I had to organize, on the fly, a dinner pre-theater on a Sat, before Valetine's Day for 12 women! Hey, good luck to me, huh... Well, I called my friend in a panic and she recommended this place. They were wonderful. I called ahead to make our reservation, I spoke to the menager, who assured me we would be seated at one table. This was a dinner for a fundraiser commitee, so it was important. Everything was perfect. We had a beautiful table downstrais. We were seated promptly. Our waiter was wonderful, very attentive. The food was amazing. A few of us had a wild boar pappardella, which was absolutelly delicious. The veal was excellent I heard from the ladies. The wine was very good and they had us out in time for the show. Wonderful, I can't thank them enough. Mario, the manager - a life saver... Thank you.

Pros: Great food & wine, Nice decor, Cooperative staff

Posted 02/15/06

I'm surprized to find the bad review from the same weekend I was there, I'm assuming the previous reviewer was there recently. I was there on Sat and had a fantastic time. We had a pre-theater dinner, it was 7 of us. We had a table downstrais, very nice. We were seated within 5 minutes of our arrival. One of my daughters had spagetti and liked it very much. I shared pizza with my sister and we absolutelly loved it. The pizza is amazing. I'm a New Yorker and that is good pizza! I have to say, I didn't like the comment about tourists, "who don't know any better." Well, as a New Yorker, I know pizza and love this one!

Pros: pizza/food, prompt service, ambience

Posted 02/15/06

After much research, we decided on this for our pre-theater dinner. We made reservations but arrived and had to wait 10 minutes moving out of people's way constantly before we were seated in what the hostess described as a "beautiful table" Our table was cramped in the downstairs area back corner literally less than 2 ft. from 4 other tables (they really pack em' in) The service was rushed and unfriendly, the food average (bread awful) and the portions small. You literally had to grab the waiter on the way by to ask anything and everyone around was frustrated. We got there at 6:10 and barely made it to our show. It was truly UNROMANTIC. I'm telling you...don't do it.

Pros: Close to theaters

Cons: Everything else

Posted 02/12/06

We picked this place for a family brunch because some had a matinee to attend. After seeing all the positive reviews, I'm not sure if it's because they are from tourists who don't know any better, or if we just went on a bad day.
Many of us ordered the pizza, and it was nothing like wood-fired oven pizza should be - crust was white and floppy, instead of crispy and flaky, and too much cheese.
A few ordered the lobster salad, and the lobster was almost frozen.
One person had a glass of pinot grigio, apparently from a bad bottle - yet the waiter didn't seem to understand this. He eventually got her a new glass of a different wine, but not without some confusion.
2 people ordered a salad before their pizza, and had to wait a very long time in between .
Desserts were decent, nothing spectacular.

Pros: Ambience

Cons: Pizza

Posted 02/11/06

If you're going to the theater and need a great place, this is it. I took my 3 daughters, my parents and my wife to the theater last week and we had dinner here. Everything was delicious. The pizza is so great the kids will be satisfied. I had really good stracci, wide pasta, with panceettta, beans in a white wine sauce. My wife loved her gnocchi with lobster. My father raved about the steak. My mom had the chicken with mushrooms. Everybody was happy. They gave us a big table downstrais. We were seated promptly. Our waiter was very attentive and polite. I highly recommend it. Not your ussual rushed pre-theater experience. And Icompletely agree with the previous reviewer, the tiramisu is sinfully good.

Pros: great pre-theater, kids friendly, delicious food

Posted 02/10/06

My friend took me here on a Friday night. We had a whole bunch, it was 8 of us. We had a blast. The food was fantastic. I had the meat tortellini with prosciutto and peas in a delicious creamy sauce. My freinds had the pizza with 4 cheeses, it was fabulous. Everyone was happy with the food. The service was fast and attentive. We ordered bottles of wine, very good at the waiter's suggestion. Finally, the ambience was so nice. The decor is breathtakingly beautiful downstrais in the garden, where we were sitting. We had a great time. We already made reservation for another dinner here in a couple of weeks, we are going to the theater. Oh, I almost forgot, the tiramisu, my God, you have to try it.... Amazing!

Pros: Amazing Food, Great wine selection, Homemade tiramisu

Posted 02/06/06

From the moment I tasted the open lobster ravioli I was hooked!! It was soooo tasty! Haven't found better ravioli anywhere else in NYC. You have to give it a try ! Don't let the theater district stigma fool you, the food is far better than many pricey establishments downtown or uptown. The canalini with tuna is so delectable! Chicken with porcini mushrooms is an explosion of flavor, many great pasta dishes too. I have tried many things from the menu and have never been disappointed, everything is always delicious ! Try the homemade taramisu. And it won't put a dent in your wallet.

Pros: Great food, inexpensive, Great ambience

Posted 02/03/06

I work in the area and love this place. I have dinner here quite often. Their pizza is great. I love the linguine with clams, pine nuts, garlic and tomatoes. They have great homemade tiramisu! Great for lunch too, if you can find the time to get away. Make reservation, they tend to get busy. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Great food, Nice specials, Location

Posted 02/03/06

I actually met my friend from highschool recently in a lounge around midtown. He invated me here with my wife for dinner before theater. My wife and I go to the theater a lot, so we are sceptical about the pre-theater dinner. Ussually, it's not that good and they rush you out. We most often eat downtown, hop on a train and go to the show. My friend insisted on comming here and he was absolutelly right. Dopo Teatro is a beautiful space, especially downstrais. Spacious with a great, fast service. We had a bottle of great wine. My wife great ravioli with veal. I had great ossobuco. Amazing. The service was spectacular, they didn't rush us, the wine recommendation was right what we were looking for, and we walked 2 blocks to the theater! It was enough to change our pre theater routine; we will be back for sure!

Pros: Food & Wine, Fast service, Location

Posted 02/03/06

I bring most of my business lunch clients here. The food is always good. The service is always proffesional and attentive. The specials are great and interesting. The have nice space, so it makes nice atmosphere for conducting business. They have great salads and great pizzas.

Pros: Good food, prompt service, nice space

Posted 01/30/06

I have come to Dopo for many years now. My wife and I love the place. Recently we ventured out to the theater and had dinner there. They have had consistently good food and service over the years, but the specials have gotten more unique and delicious. I had roasted pork shoulder with Tuscan herbs. Home made roast, that's nice in a restaurant. My wife had ricotta and spinich gnocchi in butterand sage sauce, again not your usual. She liked it very much, but said it was a little heavy, but highly recommends it, if you like butter and sage. The service was excellent as always. Mario, the manager is very cordual. It's a great place in that location. We recommend it.

Pros: Unique specials, Service, Decor

Posted 01/30/06

My husband took me here for our aniversary dinner. It is a beautiful space, high ceillings, elegant and yet vivacious decor - very inviting. The food was delicious. I had gnocchi with seafood. My husband had veal, which was excellent. They have a great wine collection, they even had a bottle from the year my husband and I got married, more than 20yrs ago. It was truely an enchanting evenning. The restaurant staff made it flawless. Thank you.

Pros: food, wine, service

Posted 01/25/06

I know this restaurant for many years. I remember when it was much smaller, just the dining room ustrais. That was when my daughter was a todler, we used to bring her here. Now she is 16 years old and loves the theater. I bring her to the city often, and whenever we come to see a play we go eat to Dopo. That's our little tradition. She adors their Dopo Teatro Pizza with prociutto and trufil oil. I usually go for the veal. The pastas are great too. I highly recommend the food and the way they treat you, very nice.

Pros: Food, Friendly service, Location

Posted 01/24/06

My boyfriend took me to this charming restaurant. The secret garden was so romantic. We were seated on a little balcony, he arranged everything. The wine was delicious. The food was great as well. I had the striped bass in garlic sauce, it was really good. The fish was tender and tasty served with vegetables... very light to leave room for desert. They have home made deserts. What a wonderful night. It's nice when a place this romantic and beautiful also has great food and good service. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Food/wine, Ambience, Decor

Posted 01/24/06

I work in the area and I love going to lunch there. They are friendly, the service is fast and the food is delicious. My favorites are the open lobster ravioli, gnocchis and the pizzas. All their pasta is freshly made on the premesis. The also have a brick over, where the pizzas come out of. With the fast and friendly service and terrific food, it's a great lunch place. We just held a copmpany luncheon there and everyone was happy.

Pros: fast & friendly servi, terrific food, good location

Posted 01/23/06

I took my mom here before going to see a play on Broadway. Right away, when you walk in the ambience of this restaurant puts you in a better mood; it's realy pretty and calm. A very nice hostess showed us around and seated us downstairs in the garden. There was a waterfall on the wall, beautiful. I had open ravioli with lobster so delicious. My mom had the linguine and realy loved it, and she is hard to please. I think the great wine selection might have helped! Our waiter was very good and knowledgeble, even directed us to the theater, which was nice. We had an excellent meal, that put us in the right mood for the play.

Pros: Great pre theater, terrific food, wine list

Posted 01/20/06

I go to many restaurants, but this one has a very interesting menu. I had pappardelle with chucks of wild boar!!!!! It was wildly delicious. The meat was tender and very tasty. Pappardelle - very good. The service was attentive and friendly. I spilled my wine, they brought me another on the house without me even asking, which was nice. The decor is cozy and elegant, the tall ceilling gives the space a distinctive aura. Besides the location and the decor I highly recommend the food, if you are a meat lover, like me, I urge you to try the wild boar pappardelle. Excellent pasta as well.

Pros: Interesting Food, Decor, Friendly service

Posted 01/19/06

I went on a friends recommendation and wow... I had the best gnocchi ever. I highly recommend it. It was served with lobster and sundried tomatoes, realy excellent. The service was very good. Our waiter recommended a great desert and we went off to the theater. Impeccable service, great food and a nice wine collection all wraped up in a beautiful interior. Check out the downstrais garden. Realy impressive.

Pros: Great food, Good service, Great location

Posted 01/18/06

My girlfriend and I tried their risotto at a recommendation of a co-worker, who dines there often. We went and realy enjoyed it. The risotto was so delicious, sereved with shrimp, squid and clams. Excellent, I highly recommend it. The service was attentive and fast. The decor is very pleasant. They have a great wine list. We will definately be back!!!

Pros: Great Risotto, Great wine list, Nice decor

Posted 01/17/06

A group of my girlfriends and I went to see "Wicked." We needed a restaurant to go to before the theater and this one was recommemnded to me by a friend. I was a little aprehensive, because it was 9 of us and pre-theater restaurants tend to rush you, especially a large group like that. A few of my girlfriends are from Atlanta, so I wanted to show them a good time in New York. Boy was this place the right choice! The food was phenomenal and the waiter was the nicest, most attentive I've encountered in a long time. One of us ordered the worg martini and the manager replaced it on the house for the apparent mix-up. Well, phenomenal place really. The food was delicious, the decor gorgeous and the location fabulous. I highly recommend it!

Pros: Phenomenal food, Bautiful decor, great location

Posted 01/14/06

My husband took me here for my birthday dinner, before taking me to the theater. We had a wonderful time. The food was exquisite. I haven't had italian pasta like that since our honeymoon in Tuscony. My husband had the pizza, which was great. We were seated in the downstrais garden, that is so romantic. I had such a great experience, I want to let everyne know. If you have a special dinner planned this place won't disappoint. A great pre theater place and a very romantic one.

Pros: Wonderful food and wi, Romantic ambience, great location

Posted 01/09/06

My boyfriend took me to this restaurant for the first time 3 yrs ago on our first date. We had a great time then and ever since. We go there quite often mainly for the fabulous food and the romantic ambiance, but I recommended it to a few friends for their first dates and they all love it and are still together. We all decided the place makes for a great date spot and it's like a good luck charm! I especially recommend the downstrais for a romantic dinner. As for the food, my favorite is the pizza with 4 different cheeses and the chicken balsamico, my boyfriend loves the veal. The food is really great, the atmosphere so nice and romantic plus there is something in the air. I highly recommed it for dates.

Pros: romantic, great food, love the wine selecti

Posted 12/07/05

My boyfriend took me there for a dinner prior to a show. The whole experience was wonderful. The ambience resembeled that of the romantic movies. We were seated downstrais in the secret garden. We had a table in the corner, by a water fall wall on a elevated balcony... fabulous. If that wasn't enough, the food added to the evening. I had the Chicken balsamico, which was really delicious. We shared a desert and went off to see a show. It was a perfect evenning. If you're looking for a good date place, I highly recommend it. We definately will be back.

Pros: Romantic, Wonderful food

Posted 12/06/05

I had pre-theater dinner there with 10 of my friends. It was great. They took our reservation only 3 days prior to the show. We were seated promptly, even though the restaurant was busy when we arrived. The staff was so cordial from the moment we got in. Our waiter was attentive and very funny; he made us feel very comfortable. I had the black tanglierne pasta w/a delicious souce. Everyone was raving about the food. The pizza was out of this world. We all had a great time. We got out on time and went to see Wicked. There are not many places that will make a pre-theater dinner for 11 a good experience, they did an amazing job. I highly recommend it.

Pros: fantastic food, great atmosphere, attentive service
