This is my new favorite restaurant! We attended the Robert Plant show at the Orpheum and this is a short walk away. We sat at a high top in the bar area and it was nice and quiet and we were able to talk. The bartender is also the waiter - super nice and not frazzled at all that his restaurant was suddenly full of pre-show people. Since most of the dinner crowd was going to see Robert Plant, they were playing Led Zeppelin in the background - how fun is that! You have an option to book a regular reservation or a pre/post show reservation. We booked the pre-show reservation (no price difference) so that the place knows we are on a time schedule. Our table had the margherita flatbread, burger and tuna tartare. All was really good. We also had the sangria which was nice and went with our meal. Highly recommend if you are going to a local show or just want a nice place that isn't commercialized.
