"Prelude is our go-to place before attending a concert at the Green Music Center. The food is mostly a little above average, though some days are better than others. I had coq au vin this time, and my husband had the flat iron steak, the chicken was somewhat dry but tasty, but the steak seemed to be done just right, though the quality of the meat was only average, somewhat chewy. The other prix fix items were unremarkable this time. What was a little disappointing was the service, it was a busier than usual evening (though I'm not sure why that would have been a surprise for the restaurant mgmt), and they weren't quite staffed for the number of customers. Subsequently, we had a very long wait between the first course and the main course (30 minutes), and then another 15 minutes waiting between the main course and dessert, and the waiter/bus person never removed the main course dishes (i.e. still chicken bones on the plate while I was eating the dessert). Slightly disappointing, but we will probably continue to go, hoping the restaurant management learned from this experience of under-staff."
