| - Finally stopped in one night with a friend before a Broadway show at Playhouse Square and this place was hoppin! We were able to snag one of the last available seats in the side room at the front where we were attended to by a prompt and friendly waitress. We each got a glass of wine and shared some snacks/small plates in chill yet classy environment. The front room has a huge window so it's also a good spot if you just want to relax, have a drink, and people watch.
There was a slight hiccup, my friend paid the bill and I offered to leave the cash tip, but I mistakenly left too little and didn't realize it until we were sitting at Connor Palace. Luckily Bin 216 is open until 11pm so we were able to run back over once our show was done and set things right with the tipping. This also allowed for my friend to have another drink and for me to get some food to go!
As for food:
Devil's on Horseback $6
Hanky Panky's $5
Seafood Risotto $15
Lobster Nachos $15
If you are familiar with Hodge's then you know the first two items are on their menu as well; both tasty snacks and I could eat a dozen of each! The risotto grew on me with each bite and as for the nachos, those were good, but disappointed the sauce was sitting in a pool on the bottom of the plate instead of all over the wonton chips.
Overall, I would definitely come here again! I like the atmosphere, it's right next door to the theatre, plenty of parking garages/lots, good service, and good food. Now pricing is not cheap, but it's reasonable for downtown. Also these are small plates so you might have to get a couple dishes if you're really hungry, otherwise share away!
