The Scene – Sprawling murals, cast-iron fireplaces and a bear-skin rug decorate the stylish lobby of the revamped Royalton Hotel, where a small crowd sips cocktails and munches on small plates. Further back, the chic, 100-seat dining room--with its thin wooden arches and dangling globe light fixtures--is sparsely populated, but that hardly upsets the sense of intimacy and decadence that permeates the room. – – The Food – A seasonal American menu is overhauled every few months by chef Scott Ekstrom, formerly of Oceana and Daniel. Luscious, beautifully presented…

The Pre Thetare Menu is the best bargin in Times Square
by theatrelover
We had the Pre Theatre dinner @ The Royalton Hotel last night. The food was excellent - especially the sunchoke soup, the service spot on & more importantly they actually were aware & made every effort to get us to our show on time while not feeling rushed through 3 courses. We thought it was a great deal at $44 a person for an appetizer, entree & dessert. We'll be back again before 7:30!
- Pros: Pre Theatre Menu, Service, Sunchoke Soup
- Cons: A little dark

Romantic Dinner
by fultvrn
I've been there 6 times. Loved it every time. I usually get the same dishes. I stick to my favorites. Best crab cocktail I have ever had. I recomend that the lobster penne, which is my fav. And last one is the grand marnier tart . Ahhhh... My favorite dessert EVER! Honestly, it is so simple yet so good, very light and refreshing after stuffing my face with as food that would fit. Service has been excellent about 4 out of 6 times. Great romantic decor. I go back every chance I get!!! Thinking about going? Why not bring me???
- Pros: ambiance,food
- Cons: bathrooms

Not your mom's cooking.
by RestaurantKid
I love finding new restaurant gems. In fact, I think I am becoming somewhat of a food snob. I love to eat, but I'm also probably extraordinarily picky, much to the displeasure of my husband (ha,ha). One thing is for sure, though: I always chose the best places, and I don't recommend places that I don't absolutely love. This is one of those places. I started with the sweet onion tart which was beautifully presented. For my main course, I had the wild striped bass, suggested by the server (who, by the way, was completely charming). I also had a bite from a couple of my friends' plates, and I can vouch for the poularde and black bass as well. Dessert, my favorite part of the meal, surpassed my expectations. We all shared amongst three deserts. Don't tell mom this, but this is the rice pudding I've ever had. The ambiance was cozy, but it felt special. We all just had a really great time. What else can you ask for.
- Pros: Atmosphere, food
- Cons: would have like a round table
