Theodore Rex is a delightful spot for New American cuisine! The hiramasa and boiled dumplings were exceptional, and the cozy atmosphere made for a lovely evening. Don't miss the tomato toast - simply stellar! Reservations are a must for a seat at the counter!...

I recently dined at Theodore Rex, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, perfect for a romantic dinner. 🌹

We started with the boiled dumplings, bursting with flavor, and the famous tomato toast - absolutely delicious! The hiramasa became an unexpected favorite, and the service was impeccable; our waiter even paired wines with our meal, enhancing every bite. 🍷

Tip: Definitely make a reservation for the counter seats to catch the magic as they prepare the food! Can’t wait to go back for more...
