A great choice for a pre-show meal. They were very considerate of our timing, and the food was remarkable. The drinks were priced steeply and uniformly, but that you can get elsewhere.

A 5* experience! We enjoyed the holiday ambience, so much positive energy, the service was absolutely sublime! We started with oysters and crudo; followed by gluten free penne ala vodka.. This was a very seriously tasty gluten free pasta, strongly recommend.. Branzino was so tender with a crispy skin; there is some elegant lightness to this dish, a must try.. Side grilled mushrooms and broccolini are insane! Thank Zia and the team, Happy Holidays!
