    Wonderful place to see live music and eat before seeing a play next-door at the Huntington. Starting at 6:30, there was a great band that included an electric harp, bass and drums playing jazz which was fun to watch and not to loud so it was good background music. The bean dip was delicious but there was not enough pita bread that came with it. The butternut squash risotto was quite spicy with some kind of chili oil on top that I didn't expect, so I wasn't able to finish it, and I ate some of my husband's pasta dish, which was good but not amazing. Great atmosphere and service but the food was not amazing considering the cost.
