I want to love this space. The people are friendly and accommodating. The food is meh. I usually get a salad which is fine. The cocktails are nice. I like going here before a show. But they need some serious attention to the menu.

Delicious food, reasonably priced but notably small portions. Great live music in the Curio restaurant space from Nicco Tyson. We came to Curio Saturday evening to hear this group and stayed for 3 hours. Incredibly talented musicians deserving a big following.

Had the deviled eggs, cobb salad with chicken, american burger, seared salmon, calamari. Food was well cooked and nicely plated but super under seasoned Service was so-so; server forgot one of our drinks and served another the wrong thing. Booked a table for inside, we were asked at the door if we preferred inside or outside (we said inside) then maitre d sat us outside. We asked if there was space inside and he advised the tables inside were not yet open (it was 5:30 pm on a saturday) Spent $250 for a party of 4

We appreciated being able to dine and then be admitted straight to the performance at The Chapel. Room was busy, wait staff were pleasant but not very available. Rib platter was good, chicken sandwich was mediocre. Smooth jazz band was loud and made conversation difficult. We would eat here again before a performance for the easy entry, but try other menu items.
