Dinner before the Huntington

We're going to the Huntington tonight. There's not a lot of close by options. We went to Orinoco in the past. Nice meal, but a little hike to the theater, and if you try to drive, parkings a bear.
Any thoughts on Petit Robert Bistro on Columbus, both in terms of food and the walk over?

Thanks

    Darrel's is close enough to walk...

      New season beginning. We went to Lucy's last season and really enjoyed it. We're thinking of trying to sneak in and park on Gainsborough, and walk through NEU and grab a bite at Ali's Roti.
      Does that make sense?

      Valet park at Brasserie Jo, dine before or after theater, and walk the short way down Huntington.

        Brasserie Jo is always a good choice.

              Hey great call, gourmaniac. I live nearby and hadn't ever been there until recently, and am pretty much in love with the place. Their injera is top notch. I'm partial to their veggie dishes, which are very homey, and made with a lot of care. The whole place is just good vibrations. Their grub makes me feel very happy.
