Great Food! Great Service!
I didn't know what to expect because there wasn't much to be found on this restaurant. The food was absolutely magnificent and the price was very reasonable. If you are going to a show in any of the theatres on the avenue, this is a must place to dine before the show. They offer a price fixed menu that has many choices for only $24.95. It is located in the Doubletree hotel directly across from the Academy of music, Merriam Theatre and the Kimmel Center. There is a parking Garage that is adjacent to the Hotel that makes for easy parking. I would suggest this restaurant to anyone who has never dined at this well kept secret of the Avenue of the Arts. It is Perfect!    [19 May 2002 15:06:22]

A Must Try for the Theatre Crowd
Tired of the overcrowded high priced restaurant scene? Try the Academy Cafe. My wife & I had a wonderful pre-theatre meal. We picked from a fixed priced menu, that was billed as a pre-theatre special. I had a wonderful filet migon, & my wife had a very tasty pasta dish. The atmosphere was quaint, & the service was above par.    [07 Oct 2002 12:25:11]
