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.

Went to see Hasan Hates Ronny | Ronny Hates Hasan show. It is a classic and beautiful theater. The hallway is a bit narrow though, seemed crowded. Restrooms and food venues are downstairs. Security checks at the entrance. All doors were open to enter and exit. Staff were helpful.
I've experienced this venue both as an audience member and as a performer (in the choir for Distant Worlds and NieR Orchestra) so I've seen it from a lot of different eyes. The staff have always been so pleasant and helpful. Bathrooms are clean and some are even quite large. I highly recommend this venue.
It was a refreshing night to see Fr. Michael challenge Christians with Christs parables and attempt to interpret them in ways that stimulated many applause. Being my first visit to the auditorium, I was impressed with its layout and the thoughtful way multiple exits were laid out for guests and patrons. I certainly will visit the Constitution Hall again.
We saw Louis CK at this venue. Great comedy show BUT the ushers and audience members took away from the experience. Soooo many people arrived late, after the show started and the ushers were having difficulty seating them. Some audience members were sitting in the wrong seats and the ushers and a huge group of people were blocking the aisles and the view of the headliner. Flashlights and people milling around during the whole show. What a disappointment. Not being able to see the comedian because people can't get their act together and make it on time made for a terrible experience. Also, there were employees standing near the doorways talking and complaining. Their voices traveled down the aisle and made it hard to hear Louis. We had great seats too. Will rethink about attending this venue for any other show.
Great show! I love this venue. The stadium seating allows everyone a clear view of the stage without having someone's head blocking. It was easy to get in and out and it was a mature crowd. I think they had about 10 local comedians to perform b4 Kat Williams came out. They were all really good and it was nice to see Monique and Tommy Davidson on the stage however there were too many acts before the main attraction and we started v to think Katt Williams wasnt going to perform. The show was at 8 and Katt Williams came out at 10 pm and performed for a solid hour. He was very effective and we really enjoyed him. He kept the audience engaged and laughing. That was my first time seeing him. I hope to see him again!
