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.

Enjoyed an evening show of Harlem After Dark.. The performers had amazing vocal ranges and the music was note perfect. Small theater with great acoustics. Only complaint that I have is that the show was so good, it went too fast and I was left wanting more.
Great venue However the Ushers were dealing with a person with obvious dementia…and they refused let her sit in an empty seat closest to where she was standing. I had to hold the lady up and walk her to her seat located on row C ( seat 15). It was very disruptive and no one from the staff nor the lady’s assistant helped The venue itself was perfect
Small, but great theater venue. Not a bad seat in the house.
I saw the Dance Works performance in November 2021. Theatre auditorium is nicely decorated and tidy. The seating is comfortable and the acoustics are pleasant as well.
I had a wonderful experience at the theater, comfortable seats, great performance, and an amazing crowd!!
