Reserved Dining in Comcast Lounge

We're looking forward to seeing you at Strathmore this month for one of our many upcoming concerts. Have you made your pre-concert dinner plans yet? Did you know that pre-concert, reserved dining is now available for patrons of Strathmore Presents performances in the Comcast Lounge?

Dinner is a buffet service, with meat and vegetarian options in both entrée and salad course.  A carving station is standard, with chicken, fish and pasta also available.  Breads come to your table as does water and ice tea.  There is a coffee self-serve station and a bouquet of desserts.  Restaurant Associates also instituted a complimentary glass of house wine with your meal. 

The cost for this enhanced dining experience is $39.00, plus tax and gratuity.  This excellent value includes a guaranteed dinner reservation, the sumptuous meal, and the ambiance of the Comcast Lounge. Reservations can be made by calling Restaurant Associates at (301) 581-5253 and held with a credit card. 

Dinner service continues for the evening performances of Strathmore presentations.  Ticket patrons can begin to make reservations 3 days before a performance.

We hope to see you in the Comcast Lounge sometime soon.
