Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Mission Bay / South Beach

Great dinner. Attentive service. Yummy dinner & wine for a reasonable price

Although the neighborhood is a bit rough, this spot is a gem. Every server was amazing. Food was good —not a ton of options but definitely something for everyone. Our cocktails were great too. This was THE perfect place for a quick bite and drink before going to The Golden Gate Theater.

The food here is EXCELLENT — the “normal” Greek food but wonderfully prepared. Prices are reasonable and service was very good. A great place if you are in the neighborhood — good enough that we are considering a “special trip” to eat there.

Note that we went before an event at ACT and were on a short timeline. The food and drinks were really quite good. To be honest, I hadn't expected a lot from a restaurant in that area, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's casual, not elevated in any way, but solid prep and served quickly. There were 3 of us and we shared the Caesar salad - which was fine, a pasta dish that had a taleggio cream, pancetta and hen of the woods mushrooms - also good, though very small, and the salsiccia pizza which was superb - I didn't even get mad about the broccoli that was on it, though I generally am unequivocally opposed to it. I had a Lemoncello spritzer that was outstanding, and a glass of wine. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and had opinions on wines, all of which I really appreciate. I think this is a great choice when attending an ACT production! ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW - The restaurant validates parking for 3 hours, but if you stay longer than that, you will pay the full-rate, all-day parking price of $38. That was not a pleasant surprise.

Fabulous food with a creative variety of choices. We have been here many times, and will return again. Perfect location to ball parks and concert venues.
