this is one of my favorite fine dining places downtown. I LOVE the huge velvet red booths, its a classic staple that nobody else has, the ambiance is just unbeatable. I have wonderful memories from my childhood of eating a delicious meal here before going to the theatre with my family. If you are looking for a nice place to eat downtown for a date night, special occasion, or just because, go here. you will not regret it. :)

I ordered a glass of Sauvignon blanc which was crisp and cold. For my meal I ordered the crispy chicken livers salad which was dressed well, but the chicken livers were a bit bland. I also got the seafood dumplings which turned out to be a bit different than I expected from the menu description.

The pulled pork pizza was great!
Ricardo González
It was just OK. For the amount of money we spent, I was expecting more.
Harvey Payne
Great healthy option. Affordable prices.

I enjoyed the evening I spent here it was me and my partners first “official” date night! On the appetizer side of this I had the French onion dumplings and the vegan samosas! For dinner I had the vegan shepherds pie!! Amazing!!! The service was great! Lightening and decor is everything! Definitely a place to try for anyone looking for some fine dining done right!

Wonderful place to have dinner before a show at Playhouse Square. This was my second time eating here, both dinners were before seeing shows. The service is quick enough to get you to the show but relaxd enough that you never feel rushed. This visit was during restaurant week where there is an offering of a 3 course menu for $33. I got the prefixe and choose the Frisee salad (normally $10), a pasta dish with mussels (Pasta of the day, unknown al la carte price), and creme brulee (price not listed on online menu). My husband ordered off the normal menu, he got a Crispy Pork Stack and the Braised Lamp Middle Eastern Style. All the dishes were terrific. Anytime we have time to go out to dinner before a show, you'll probably find use dining here.

Amazing dining experience and serendipitously got a table during restaurant week. Killer 3 course meal/wine pairing that had me craving more. Atmosphere was formal but relaxed with a variety of guests ranging from theater goers to university students. Definitely the restaurant to check out if one is in playhouse square

Our experience was quite good. The food was delicious and we booked this reservation for dinner before a show. We arrived fifteen minutes early, advised of our plans to the staff, and they readily seated us. The staff was friendly and helpful. While our main meal seemed to run a little behind schedule, the manager was apologetic and in the end, did not cause us to be late to the show. Absolutely I will return and recommend this place: it helped created a really nice evening for us all.
Nice space and excellent service. Although the food was very good, portions were small and pours for the drinks were flat out stingy and not indicative a restaurant charging top end prices. Also, no bread service is a bad look.

This was our first visit, but won't be our last. We had tickets to an 8pm show. When we told this to our server he assured us we would be on time. Three small plates, one shared entree and two deserts were all very well prepared, and more importantly very tasty. Really enjoyed the Crispy Pork Stack, and the Sea Scallop special. Service was impeccable, couldn't ask for more.

We had a lovely meal - we ordered items from the Restaurant Week Prix Fix menu. My pasta was amazing - the butter sauce was light and flavorful with lots of mushrooms and zucchini. My husband's cod was cooked perfectly and the pickled onion accents were very tasty! I hadn't had their creme brûlée before and it was wonderful. Our server was helpful and charming.

Was a great environment and the food was outstanding. They were able to make something that was kind of on the menu, but was specialized to something I really wanted and it was an amazing meal. Definitely will be back.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our dinner. The staff helped us pick an outstanding bottle of wine and it went perfectly with our meal. The small plate we shared was delicious. The also had numerous gluten free options. The entrees were delicious. I would highly recommend Cowell & Hubbard.
Always great food and drinks!
