We enjoyed our first experience at the Ghost Light Restaurant. Our server, Tekesha, was attentive, although it was obvious that she was overly busy. We had plenty of time before our show, so it was not an issue. The food was delicious and plentiful —I had the butternut squash soup and the fish and chips and it was so good. My companions had the short rib and the chicken and gnocchi and both loved their choices. I like the openness of the room and the absence of tvs—made for easy conversation and a more relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely include this restaurant in our pre-theater choices in the future.
