| - This review is actually for the café at the Phoenix Theater. Apparently a year or so ago they opened a café in their lobby area. We tried it out tonight and I have to say I was so disappointed. I took my two daughters to see a play. We dressed up for the theater and thought having dinner in their café would be a lovely idea. Not so much... We each ordered an individual pizza, a Cesar salad and truffle fries to share. First, the water came in a little plastic cup. Three sips and the water was empty. Next, the salad came in a small paper bowl with plastic silverware. Next, our pizza came on a small circle of cardboard covered with a piece of wax paper. It was seriously the most bizarre presentation I've ever seen. The pizza was fairly bland, the cheese was barely melted on top and each of our pizzas were burnt on the bottom. The salad was OK... Nothing special. The "truffle" fries tasted like McDonald's french fries. They were fine, but there was certainly nothing "truffle" about them.
Overall, we were so disappointed. The plasticware, paper bowls, wax paper covered cardboard plate were all just so tacky. Felt like I was eating at a fast food restaurant not in the lobby of lovely theater. However, speaking of the theater, it was clean, the play that we saw was awesome and we would definitely go back to the theater again. Just would never eat at the café again.
