Profile

This venue is closed.

Candela’s abundant seating, moderate prices and something-for-everyone “modern American” menu make it a good last-minute date choice. And then there are, of course, the candles—loads of them, some suspended on iron chandeliers. Try getting a spot up front if you’d prefer a cozier feel; the cavernous, darker back room can get noisy. Menu basics like rib-eye steak are complemented by a number of Asian-accented dishes and a small sushi menu. And if you don’t mind eating on an octogenarian’s schedule, the pre-theater dinner is a good deal.
