Remember the torrential rain with flash flood warnings as spring sprung? That was the night I ended up at Sardi’s as it was easier to get to the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre to see the new musical, The Outsiders, not a show I’d suggest rushing to see.

As you may know, Sardi’s is more about seeing and being seen than the food.  The food is fine, nothing exceptional, but the service is quite attentive and good.

From what we ate, I’d only recommend the classic Caesar  ($18), the teriyaki glazed salmon

with caramelized ginger sweet potato puree all over sauteed spinach ($37), and the shrimp Sardi style ($39).

I had ordered the fusilli pasta with chicken bolognese recommended by my friend’s friend, who I saw eating it. The waiter noticed I wasn’t eating any of it and offered me something else. I would recommend that shrimp (8) lightly doused with their cream sauce ($39) with Jasmine rice.

Sardi’s location is ideal for going to the theatre.
