What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the generous portions, reasonably priced menu, and friendly staff. The interior is described as “modern with a touch of glamour,” and diners frequently mention the relaxed pace and elegant presentation. Many reviewers note that it’s a surprisingly quiet space given the central location—ideal for pre-show conversations or a calm dinner before the buzz of a live performance.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the menu, while well-executed, leans on traditional Italian favorites without too many surprises. During peak hours, service can be a bit slower, so arriving with a little extra time before your show is a smart move. Also, the restaurant doesn't currently offer a specific pre-theatre menu, which could be a nice addition for concert-goers on a tighter schedule.

The Bottom Line

The Grand by Concerto is a stylish, centrally located Italian restaurant that hits the right notes for a pre-concert meal—great food, solid service, and a relaxed vibe just steps from the stage.
