Great place to go before a show at one of the Theatres in the precinct. Quieter than most other restaurants, and the food is relatively plain and simple for the 'older' people who don't like anything spicy (read: anything spicier than salt and pepper). Don't get me wrong the food is tasty, but there are a number of nice simple choices.

My wife and I dined at 5:30 ahead of a 7:30 concert at Hamer Hall. The place was about half full. Service was excellent. The food was good, although my lamb shank was a little tough. The happy hour drinks prices before 6pm were appreciated. We would definitely recommend The Barre, the only restaurant currently working at the Arts Centre.
