Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in South End

Delicious steak cooked medium rare to perfection, every time. Superb fries and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Great ambience.

Came in for restaurant week good for the price, we got the mushroom risotto and skirt steak with truffle fries. Portions were good and service was excellent request Ricardo

Cosmica’s very best feature was Gilly’s excellent service. Great vibe in the restaurant, very lively & fun. The garlic shrimp was delicious and the painkiller was perfect, served in a fun tiki glass! The roast 1/2 chicken was a huge serving.

A lovely pre-theater venue! We were promptly seated by the hostess and promptly welcomed by our server. The cocktail menu for the day offered some quite nice selections. (Try Sail with Ilma!) Our server was engaging and perfectly attended us - not hovering, checking occasionally, but always within eyeshot should we need anything. Ours was light fare - soups (clam chowder and French onion) and salads (kale Caesar and a special of the day, a watercress salad featuring burrata and balsam berries - both wonderful). The entrees looked delicious; the diners next to us assured us they were. The only downfall to our experience is that we didn't save time to linger over dessert. Happily, however, there will be a next time. Already, we are looking forward to it.

We made a reservation here for some dinner and drinks! Food was delish, service was excellent and fast! We’ll definitely be back!
