Profile

Can nearly three decades worth of theater-goers be wrong? Given its convenient theater row location, West Bank has been a predictably packed pre- and post-theatre favorite for years. Celebrity sightings are par for the course—Blythe Danner and The Daily Show's Louis Black, for starters. The attractive, stately décor suits the well-heeled clientele; the restroom's cascading fountain sink is an especially lovely touch. The menu's nothing really new, but both the food and the service are reliably good. — Bree Coven

Extra

The Laurie Beechman Theater, located on the lower level of the restaurant, is available to rent for private parties and performances.

Recommended Dishes
