Best entertainment club dining: The Comedy & Magic Club

The best seats at any club tend to go to the patrons who have come early for dinner, so generations of theater aficionados have gotten used to the drudgery of club dining – small selections of indifferent food, usually at high prices. The Comedy & Magic club is a delightful change, with a wide choice of appetizing meals – there are more options here than at a lot of restaurants that don’t offer entertainment. Best of all, the food here fulfills the promise of the menu – whether you order Thai beef, chicken in rosemary garlic sauce, grilled fresh fish, or one of the other entrees everything is prepared to order and tasty. This is that rarity, a club we’d visit for dinner even if there wasn’t a show, and the preferred seating is the icing on the cake.
