I like all cuisines and budget is not a problem. I just don't want anything too formal.

If you like fish, Estiatorio Milos on 55th between 6th and 7th , is very good, though not cheap. (They may have a pre-theatre prix fixe.) Beacon on 56th between 5th and 6th has great roasted dishes and is well-decorated. Remi on 53rd between 6th and 7th has very good Italian. Vice Versa, also Italian, on 51st (8th-9th) is pretty good. Of the restaurant row group, I think Orso (yes, it's Italian, too) probably has the best food. For a sublime (and concomitantly priced) hamburger, try db bistro moderne on 44th (5th-6th). I used to be quite fond of Torre de Pisa on the same block, but have not been there in quite some time. And Ilo on 40th (5th-6th) has marvelous food, also marvelously priced.

Pre Theater Dining on Broadway?
Does anyone have any suggestions for dining before a Broadway play. We are seeing Jersey Boys at the August Wilson. Between 8th and Broadway on 52nd.
I am looking for reasonable and they might take reservations.

There are probably 500 restaurants within a 10 minute walk.
What's "reasonable?" $20 per person? $50 per person? $100 per person?
Will you be drinking? Beer? Wine? Good wine?
What kind of cuisine are you looking for? How many in your group? What kind of scene do you want?
Details, please!
You might also try looking in "midtown west" at menupages.com and at newyorkmetro.com/restaurants.

Great Italian
Becco
355 W. 46th St.
(bet. 8th & 9th Aves.)
Really good pasta and other dishes. I had the osso bucco the last time and it was quite good. About $50 per with wine, which is "reasonable" for that area.

If you can get a reservation, one of our favorites is Orso on Restaurant Row (46th Street). Very reasonable and you'll often find some Broadway stars there.

Virgil's BBQ 152 W 44th Street is a pretty good pre-theater choice.. Quick pretty good BBQ and very inexpensive by Manhattan standards.

If you want the full Broadway experience and as the song goes from The Producers "I want to be a producer, lunch at Sardi's every day".
Sardis is next to where The Producers is playing - 234 West 44th St between Broadway and 8th (www.sardis.com)
I like the Blue Fin at the W Hotel at Time Sq.
