Wow, I was a little bit nervous when we made the reservation, knowing it was a high dollar establishment and not knowing what to expect in terms of quality, but I was happily suprised. We had a great server, Kristen, and she made us feel more than welcome. After we ordered what ended up to be a fantastic meal, we were happy to see a generous portion an excellent taste in the product. If they have the Swordfish special, order it!!!! It was amazing. They have more wine, champagne, brandy and whisky on the menu than you could ever think to order. A few celebrity sightings and a quality meal made us have an enjoyable meal. It is pricey, but worth it. It's not one of those, you pay a ton and get nothing out of it places like New York has become famous for. A real treat, incredible food, PERIOD.

Pros: Great food, cool place, great ambience.

Cons: None to mention.

We checked Zagat for restaurants with price-fixe menus near the theaters. For $40 you get a 3-course meal and quite a selection to choose from. My petite filet came out searing hot and the house potato concoction is sinful. I vowed I would only take 2 bites and ended up eating the entire 2-cup mound of garlic semi-smashed redskin potatoes. They must have had a bar of butter but it was worth it. Wine list is great and service was perfectly choreographed. Run, don't walk. Oh-one more thing: for the ladies, happy hour is the place to be, i.e. lots of men.

Pros: $40 price-fixe (pre-theater); food, service, ambience, location

Cons: pricey with wine, as always
