There are a number of restaurants down by the waterfront near Arena
Stage.  I've tried most of them, since I live in that neighborhood.
IMHO none of them are really that great, but they are for the most
part ok. I don't remember prices, I don't think any of them were more
than $20 for an entee, with the possible exeption of Le Rivage.

  Jenny's Chinese (in Waterside Mall) - I've never been too crazy
  about this one; there's better Chinese places over in Chinatown,
  which isn't that far away.

  The Gangplank - seafood, nice atmosphere, ok food.  I eat at
  the Gangplank more frequently than any of the others in this list,
  which says something, I guess.

  Hogates - never ate here (well, once for coffee).

  Phillips - overrated seafood place.  I've never liked any of the
  Phillips restaurants very much.

  Le Rivage - nice french place, may be > 20$ per entree.  I think
  they had some sort of pre-theater special, though.

  El Toritos - not my style, I don't like mexican, especially mexican
  chains.  Your milage may vary.

  H. R. Ribsters (I may have the initials confused) - I wasn't very
  impressed with this place; I don't plan on going back.  The beef
  ribs had lots of fat.
