    We absolutely loved the food at Backstage Tavern. Don’t miss out on the delicious deviled eggs! The burgers and chicken sandwiches are also excellent. Portion sizes are generous. The house ale was very good. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant are inviting and the restaurant was very clean. The server and food runner were very friendly. The only minor issue we encountered was that it took a long time for the kitchen to prepare our entrees. However, everything overall was great and we plan to return!

    Food was exceptional. Thought we would have a quick bite before a show - must say, the food was as memorable as the show. Steak salad was delicious.
