    Two of us enjoyed a delicious dinner at Chez Maggy. The dishes we had were prepared with thoughtfulness, were flavorful, and well presented. We shared the tuna tartare to begin followed by the trout almondine and gnocchi entrees, and we finished by sharing the apple tartine. The service was top notch beginning with the host and hostess and continuing with the wait staff. We indicated on the reservation that we were heading to the theater after dinner and our waiter acknowledged that right away and helped ensure the meal’s timing supported our time frame.
