    The hostess was wonderful. The Opera Cake was delicious. The cheese and crackers were okay. The waiter was distracted. We are on a time schedule when eating at the opera and need an attentive waiter. My companion had to go in search of him twice to get service. The last time he had the audacity to rush me. An 18% tip was automatically selected on his machine, and I didn't want to give him that, but couldn't figure out how to change it. That was a problem.

    excellent service as relates to speed. You do not have to wait for your order. However, first time you might be surprised that a good deal of the food is room temperature

    Food was barely warm from buffet. Ravioli was tough and salmon bland. Many of the salads had the same pointed lettuce which can be hard to swallow.

    Prelude is perfect for pre concert (and dessert at intermission). You can eat light, vegetables and fish/shellfish, or splurge on the carvery and potato/pasta. The food is tasty, well seasoned, and cooked just right. Outstanding and professional service, honest drinks. I know it sounds like I own the place but I don't!

    I love eating at prelude at the Opera House although it’s hard to get my friends to join me…. I like the buffet, which is not that Affordable….. but I think the food is really good! And, being a Gemini, I love being able to taste a lot of different things…. The cost of the meal in relationship to the quantity of food I eat is probably pretty high… but the convenience of eating right in the building is enormous! We had a leisurely meal, but we’re still upstairs in time to hear the lecture before the opera that never took place because of the strike! I like the prelude! I think of it as a “special treat “ way to eat before a performance in the building.. and it’s quiet enough to comfortably have a conversation! It also feels old-fashioned and elegant to me! I am a fan!!!

    Great buffet choices as always. Very attentive service. Only issue was the volume of the music was too high for the room. Was very jarring at 12 pm.

    Perhaps there was a problem on Saturday night, but we and many others had to wait more than 10 minutes at the reception desk to be sated. After oatmeal we ha to wait another 15 minutes to get a served to give us the bill. I asked a staff member to help, which he did, but we were consequently rushed to get to our seats on time. So together we waited nearly half an hour to get into dinner and to leave dinner. Nancy Flowers
