Don't bother to go. If you have a show to go to, find something in Hell's Kitchen. This restaurant can't prepare its meals for the money. I ordered halibut which was supposed to be the catch of the day and flaky and was served sea bass that was chewy. The vegetable accompaniments, broccolini and tomatoes, tasted burnt and were tough to chew. They threw the broccolini without steaming and it was horrible on the taste buds. The restaurant was so close to the theater; it could have been a pleasant meal. It was my unmemorable birthday meal.

The service was excellent. Brendan was quick, friendly, and professional.
The sea bass was very good. The scallops and pork belly had as a a side what I am told is the best corn my dining companion has had in his life. The scallops were not flavorful but the pork belly was recommended.
Great oysters.
I recommend the tiger shrimp dumplings.
The lobster bisque had chunks of lobster, and was well flavored.

I came here during my birthday trip and the food was just terrible. It was not hot when I received it or the people that were in my group. Also, the food tasted fake especially the steak. I just don’t know how to explain it very rubbery and very hard to cut, even though I didn’t get well done. The drinks were terrible as well.. I do not recommend!!

I had a terrible experience. Do not go there if you want good customer service. Nobody greeted us when we walked in. They sat us in a horrible area. The waiter slammed a stack of menus on my fiance back, due to the terrible seating. We waited over 20 minutes before we asked for a waiter to greet us and introduce themselves. No water or nothing, by that time we were ready to leave. We didn't even make it to try the food

The server was delightful and engaging.
The bartender substituted Jim Beam in my cocktail that should have had Buffalo Trace in it without telling me. That was offensive! The grilled oysters were so salty, I only ate one of them. The raw oysters were much smaller than described, but fresh. The blackened scallops and the miso glazed sea bass were both prepared well. Overall, the experience was just ok.
