Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Attended my nephew's White Coat Caremony for Medical College of Georgia. Beautiful venue, comfortable seats, friendly staff, plenty of free parking. They have a clear bag policy. So make sure you have one otherwise leave everything in the car.
With the new arena being built right next door the Bell Arena new chapter will begin soon. The old arena time has come. Excellent wrestling match last night. Dark State put on a great show.
Bell Auditorium is a fantastic modern venue with excellent sound quality and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the experience seamless. The overall vibe was energetic, and the acoustics really delivered. Ample parking. Can’t wait to return for more shows!
My wife and I saw The Rock Orchestra here. Seating was comfortable. Show was excellent! We were stage right and had a great line of sight.
The seating is kind of bad with the fake collapsible platforms they are using on the bottom floor. Otherwise nice facility and acoustics. Saw coheed here great show.
