- MMarleeNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 29, 2025We had dinner and went to the 10:00 show. The food was delicious and the shrimp cocktail was as good as any of the steak houses I’ve been to. We were surprised that there were healthy options at a comedy club. I really enjoyed my avocado salad. Because we had dinner we had first choice of seats for the show and the show was fabulous. What a fun night!More infoThe StandPrice: Moderate• Italian• Gramercy Park•4.5

The food was also exceptional and the sangria is one of the best I’ve had in a while.
