The Scene
A curved green awning just across from Horton Plaza marks the entrance to the old boys club-style dining room with a long wooden bar, dark leather booths and brass accents. The City Hall and big business sets that fill the place with high powered dealings at lunchtime are replaced after hours with Downtown's cultured crowd who stop in for special pre- and post-theatre nibbles.

The Food
The famous mussel bisque topped with a pastry crust leads the charge on this classic, strong bistro menu. At lunchtime, the fresh oysters and the Bar Room burger can only be topped by the salty smoked duck and arugula salad with sweet brandied cherries. In the evening, a unique After Theatre menu features small plates like crab cakes with mustard sauce, grilled chicken breast and heirloom tomato and eggplant puree. Classic crème brulee and seasonal berried with Chantilly cream are the sweetest standouts.
