Pre Theater Dinner

It's been two years since I've been in New York. I need an update on where to get a good pre-theater dinner, preferably prix fixe, around $30-40 per person. French, Italian, American, etc., but not too "ethnic." We're planning to go to three shows. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does your $30 to $40 budget include 15% to 20% tip and 8.875% tax?

Check out Ammos on Vanderbilt and 45th St., the 3 course prix fixe is $33 and is a real bargain. Both the food and ambiance are top notch. It's Greek but really Mediterranean, I wouldn't consider it "too ethnic".

$33 p/f = $42.50, beverages likely not included (well, maybe water).

Dafni is good. It's also Greek, but I don't view it as "too" ethnic.
