Restaurants near McFarlin Memorial Auditorium

The food and ambience were amazing! Will definitely be back. Service could be better paced…we waited for longer periods for our check and to order dessert, but the main course came out extremely fast, before our salad. Overall great experience though!

Went Xmas eve. They graciously accommodated a last minute add on to our party. It’s nice and dark but you can see- very good old- person lighting. They offer excellent food and drinks. We ordered family style. Lemon pasta, carrots, and meatballs were the best. Salmon was cooked perfectly, a simple dish. We got prompt and attentive but not overbearing service-top notch. The bartenders were incredibly efficient while we waited for our table- considering how busy they were. That all said, something about it was lacking in a special experience. Perhaps I’d try on a quieter evening when I’m better rested with a well-charged social battery.

As always, another fabulous dinner at Al’s!!! Christmas Eve there is spectacular and we cannot imagine spending it anywhere else!!! Merry Christmas and see you all soon!!!

Hudson House is always a favorite, especially with the Christmas decor! Great food and drinks as always

Each time we go, we order something different and we have been so surprised at how well prepared and seasoned the food is. Our only dislike is the Caesar salad because it’s not a traditional Caesar and the menu doesn’t tell you about that. The dressing is spicy sweet and the croutons are cornbread. Strange combo for a Caesar. Otherwise o highly recommend this place for outstanding service and entrees!
