On Broadway

Started with the Pear Fection Martini, absolutely delicious. Had the Grilled Mozzarella Skewers and the Creole Lobster and Crab Cake appetizers. Both were very appetizing. For dinner I had the Prosciutto Angel Hair. I highly recommend. My son had the Puttanesca. He was disappointed, it had a light flavor. My husband had the Eggplant Parmesan and he was also disappointed with his meal. The Eggplant was tough. The only other thing was the bread was very cold. All in all my dish was fantastic and so was the drink. The ambiance is wonderful and the staff is super friendly. One star knocked off for each meal. I would recommend On Broadway and would definitely come back.

At 6:30pm on a Friday, the wait was just shy of one hour. They don’t do reservations, but it’s worth going, even for the wait. You can sit on the bar side (at the bar or at tables on that side) and have drinks while waiting. We had no problem getting seats at the bar and you can order full menu sitting at the bar (eat dinner without waiting). The tables on the bar side are like a restaurant…open seating and lots of tables and booths, but you can’t order a meal there (you can get appetizers). The food was excellent, the chef cooked my medium rare tenderloin perfectly. Crust on stake had a nice mix of texture, crisp/tender/juicy. The best part of my experience was the bar. The bartender was extremely helpful, friendly and attentive. There were several guys behind the bar so everyone had attention. I had an Old Fashioned and it was probably the best one I ever had (asked bar tender and used a rye whiskey that he recommended). Atmosphere was excellent, but a bit loud. Downstairs is a lot louder than upstairs… if you’re having a more romantic dinner, go upstairs. If you’re just hanging with the guys/gals, downstairs is more exciting.

Generally I have been happy with the quality of food since they opened 30+ years ago. But last night I had the eggplant parm and would not recommend it. The eggplant was stringy and underdone; the sauce was sparse and tasteless. I was so disappointed. I will stick w a salad w salmon on top! BUT the service was outstanding as usual.
