My wife and I went to see that play at Arena (great show!) and we
ate at 700 Water Street (which is the name of the place as well as
the address). They have a pre-theatre dinner menu for $16.95, which
includes:

- Caesar Salad or soup
- Choice of 3 entrees (they were chicken picatta, prime rib, or
  the catch of the day) with your choice of starch, and vegetables
- Dessert (cheesecake, chocolate mousse, or raspberry sorbet)
- Tea or coffee

The food is very good, and the service was good as well. Our waitress
was very personable, and very conscientious about getting us out the
door to make the curtain. All in all a very enjoyable dining experience.

Enjoy the show!

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.
