Tom Compton: Great food, good portions. The liver is the house specialty. Try for a reservation at 8pm or after theater for the best chance of getting a table, or book up to a month in advance for pre-theater.
Eric Tash: Very good pizza, overall nice after theatre spot. Prices aren't too exorbitant. Good probability you'll see celebrity dining at the table next to you.
Jaclyn R: Solid Italian food for a pre-show dinner. Recommend the spaghetti with burrata and eggplant
