We went for dinner last night & everything was delicious!!! Bill & Jannette were fantastic! Two of us had the veal, one had the seafood medley & I had the chicken salad wrap. We also got the tuna ahi appetizer & a complimentary amuse-bouche. We can’t wait to go back! If you haven’t been there yet, you’re missing out. Also BYOB which is great 🍻🍷

Theatre cafe is a quaint little restaurant that serves fantastic food! It is always freshly made to order and changes periodically during the season.On pre-theatre nights, they do a remarkable job of getting everyone waited on, fed and out the door for the upcoming show. Everyone hustles. Sometimes there is time for dessert, other nights not but we have never been late for a show.

A spectacular tiny cafe on Main St. Awesome wraps, paninis, and daily specials. I recommend the meatloaf sandwich, and the spicy Thai chicken wrap. The cookies are very good as well. Nice owners and atmosphere.

Four of us went in before a show at the Hanover. Our reservation was at 6. Our dinner didn’t come out until 7:17 (yes we did note the time exactly) The restaurant is tiny so I’m not really sure what took so long. Only 1 other table in the restaurant was served during that hour and 15. When we asked staff about it they promised we wouldn’t be late for our 8pm show?!. It wasn’t really the response we were hoping for. We were seconds before walking out hungry when the food finally arrived. We had to eat quickly so I couldn’t send my steak back because it was raw. I also had cold mashed potatoes. We didn’t have time for a re-do. I don’t expect much of an apology on this review based on the other responses to bad reviews. If you like to get into your venue a little early to settle in or meet friends this isn’t the place for you. If you like to rush to eat and run to your show by all means check it out because other than the steak and potato, the food was pretty good.

This was the best Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich ever! While tinting their windows… we thought why not?! sounds tasty! AND Man, was it tasty! Definitely will be going back. They are not only very sweet people, but they make great food. Fresh oven roasted turkey (saw it come out of the oven myself!) ??

Don't order the NY Strip Steak! We went in March before a show at the Hanover Theater, hoping for a good meal for our party of 4. Two of us ordered the NY Strip Steak, boy was that a mistake. It was undercooked, had lots of grizzle, and the frustrating part it was all covered in mushroom sauce, the lighting was dark, so it was impossible to see what you were eating. Every other bite was a mouthful of grizzle. The other two meals weren't stellar, just ok. Then during dinner the owner came over and asked 'how is everything' I told him that on our two strip steak dinners that the steak had a lot of grizzle and was undercooked and very hard to eat, and suggested they don't cover it in sauce. He looked a little miffed, almost insulted, and said 'Oh, OK' - THEN WALKED AWAY!!!! That was it. No response, nothing to accomidate us, not even saying something like sorry, or trying to offer something else, or anything. Just NOTHING. He was more hurt by us complaining than trying to solve our customer's problem. We aren't big complainers so we just left it at that. The price was very expensive for what we got. I would highly recommend you STAY AWAY from this place! There are other much better places that actually care about their customers.

Stopped in yesterday for lunch and had the best empanadas I ever had. The staff were really friendly and the prices were really reasonable considering how much food you get and the quality of the food. I will 100% be coming back to try other things but I absolutely will be back for those empanadas.

From the welcome, to the presentation, to the atmosphere to the final course, I can't possibly tell you how amazing this dinner was. If you're looking for an enjoyable evening produced by a couple who truly loves what they do, this is the place. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

This place never disappoints! Bill and Jeanette are truly passionate about everything at the cafe. Food is always superior and service is always awesome. This restaurant should be your only choice for a pre dinner meal. The access to Hanover and Brickbox couldn’t be easier. It’s a must try! But save a seat for us! We will be back!

The food that Bill and his crew are able to create in their very small kitchen is terrific! Our group of 10 all enjoyed our dinners and conversation with the crew. I didn't give 5 stars for atmosphere because the venue is not extravagant with decorations. It is simply decorated which is ok with us. They did have nice tablecloths and candles on the tables for the dinner crowd! It is a special find for food and wine lovers.
