MileKing, First off Make sure when making reservations that you tell you that you are going to a show so they can serve you FIRST! be in the restaurant by 6pm or you might just make your show!
Sardis is good because it's a real Theatre/B'way restaurant and institution. i Have NOT been there in years. Heard reviews are mixed.
May I recommend The West Bank cafe (42nd Street at 9th avenue) Lots of theatre people, cast of "the Sopranos" and many Flyertalkers have dined here. Fine mix of cuisine and the prices are even better! I personaly like the Chicken lazaganna (SP?) and good deserts. FOur PAWS UP service. (It is a finalist for the Catman Do Trois for Spring, 2001) 212-695-6909
there are a variety of Restaurants around B'way/Theatre row... Some more I like:
Broadway Joes Good steaks: (212-246-6513)
Chez Suzette: great French Cuisine 9th at 48th Street (212-974-9002)
Da Rosina: good Italian food. West 46th Street (212=977-7373)
La Stanza Verde, also good for Italian, West 46th Street (212-974-8897)
If you are not too bushed after yoru show, post theatre fun:
SAMS: West 43rd street near 8th avenue. This is good for decent food right in the heart of the theatre district. Also a great post theatre place for a drink -- has a piano player. Their Key Lime Pie is a must. 212-719-5416 (double check the #, they recently underwent renovations.)
Don't Tell Mama's: a lot of fun Piano bar. I think they stay open till 2 or 3 in the mornings. Don't know the # but they are on 46th street between 8th and 9th avenues.
Oh, if you want to get together let me know MileKing!
