   Wonderful place to have dinner before the show. The acoustics are not comfortable and the table noise from other diners and the kitchen can make visiting difficult if you are not in the main dining room Food is delicious - small portions but enough to share. I really like that they will split the bib salad onto two plates for sharing.

   We eat at this restaurant at least once a month often twice a month. The food is always good and interesting. The service is always very good and respectful of the fact that we have tickets to the theatre that we need to make. Give it a try you will like it.

   I felt "Rushed" The help i received making a selection was bad. I didn't like my seafood in tomato sauce. Tomato sause is too strong a flavor for delicate sea food.

   We ordered a Great assortment of dishes to share. The veal and pork meatballs and short ribs were delicious. A little twist on all dishes, deviled eggs, nice selection of cheeses on the charcuterie plate but meats could have been more unique.

    Prelude and Post was slammed on the afternoon of our reservation. Fortunately we had a reservation and were seated immediatley. The service and food was excellent in spite of being slammed and ran out of some menu items. They recovered extremely well. The meatballs were exceptional!

    This restaurant used to be my favorite, but now longer. We had lunch there yesterday. Prices have gone up and food has gone down. The corn chowder was mush and pieces of bacon stuck on top. Inedible. The salmon was overlooked and dry, and the molten cheese dip was half as much as the last time. I brought my family there, and have recommended. Kevin Taylor,, you need to check on this.

    I made a reservation so My party wouldn’t get the worse table in the house! Well one of the girls wasn’t easy to talk to and escorted us to the worse table in the house with better seating available! Another host who was very friendly intercepted to get us to a desirable high top! When a reservation is made we should be able to pick the table!

    Some of our food choices were disappointing. The corn chowder was gritty, rather than smooth; the salad, however, was fresh and tasty. Our server was charming, but the food order was delivered after a very long wait. The restaurant seemed stressed, and may have had to call in extra wait staff for the Mother's Day holiday.

    Great place for a light meal before the show. The service was attentive and friendly but not intrusive. We chose the meat and cheese board and an order of the roasted brussel sprouts to share. It was great. I only wish there was a little more of the bread--we ran out before we really got a good taste of the fruit/berry sauce (the bite I got was excellent!). The Brussel Sprouts were about the best I've had. This was perfect to share. We will do this again!

    Great place to eat before a show. The offerings are light and good. It was very crowded on opening night of Turandot so service was slow but we made the curtain without a problem. Our server was delightful and handled his difficulties - very slow kitchen -with humor. Definitely will go back.

    Considering this restaurant is in the DCPA complex and aims to serve people going to shows, this was an absolutely awful experience. We arrived at 5:45 for our reservation. Our server didn't even come to our table for 20 minutes. She told us we'd be fine on time to make it to our show by 7 if we got our order in then. We ordered drinks and food then. We didn't get our drinks for another 30 minutes, and by 7:00pm, only one small plate came out. We had to cancel all the rest of our food order, had to pay $45 for 2 drinks and one awful small plate (mushrooms), and we were late to our show. Would never recommend anyone eat here.

    There is no coordination between the wait staff and the kitchen. Everything comes out as soon as it is ready. So we ordered drinks and they were followed immediately by our dinner. There was no time to enjoy our drinks.

    Convenient spot for dinner before a show at Denver Performing Arts Center - fun cocktails and decent food. Allow at least an hour or more to have enough time to get in and out for your showing - for us, a 5:45p reservation was just enough time for a 7p show without feeling rushed.

    We visited two times on Friday April 14, 2023. Pre-show server Erin was AMAZING. Kind, attentive, helpful, friendly and doing a great job as a new server. We ordered fries which came out stale and over-cooked, not fresh. The fry dip was delicious. The Brie cheese dip was incredible. Bread was stale and we only had 6 pieces to start with, then ordered extra for $1.99 of more stale bread. Our post-show server Cody was AMAZING. Kind, helpful, attentive, knowlegeable. The chocolate cake was so dry it might have been in the freezer for 6 months. The carrot cake was blah. We would love a place to have good snacks and food before and after the Ballet. Fingers and toes crossed some improvements can be made soon ya'll. Rooting for it!

    Twice we were brought a dish meant for another table. There was no serving spoon for the meatballs. The Brussels sprouts were way to oily and looked unappetizing. The main dining room doesn't feel nice, somehow it feels like a hotel lobby. I was coming back to the restaurant after a long time - but I don't think I'll try again.
