Description
The kitchen pairs bistro staples like burgers and fresh fish with classic comfort plates, making space for vegan and gluten-free options—including a highly praised vegan risotto. A signature order is the risotto balls, which also anchor a popular brunch hash alongside eggs Benedict. Upstairs from the basement stage, the bar mixes custom cocktails tailored to robust or delicate tastes, making the bistro a reliable, easy-to-book stop for a pre-show drink or meal.
