Dining Tips
Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

very nice venue, a little difficult for first-timers to understand where the theaters are as there are several within the venue. After we figured out where to go from parking things were much easier.
Over the years, I have enjoyed watching several performances at this stunning opera house. The venue has an elegant and classic ambiance, featuring a unique red and gold chandelier. It is the second-largest theater in the Center, with a seating capacity of more than 2,000.
A wonderful venue. The walls are very plain compared to other theaters I have been to, but the ceiling is spectacular. We watched Les Miserables and it was an amazing production as usual. Getting in was easy. We had issues with our parking pass but that was not on the theater.
The venue is amazing and beautiful easy to park saw Les Miserables and it was Awesome!!! Traffic getting there was atrocious!!! Leaving the city wasn't much better
I was amazed by the Kennedy Center Opera House and this incredible production of Les Miserables! Wow! I am so happy I went here, and to this production. Beautiful acoustics in the house, echoing these gorgeous voices, and everything about the show was perfect, I would have wanted nothing to be different. Check out this touring company, wherever you can see them. I think they will be back towards the East Coast, USA, in 2024. [I will recheck the dates & repost later]. I plan to head back to The Kennedy Opera House sooner, too see more of the JFK museum, and another show, on the Opera stage, or in one of the many beautiful theatre spaces in the house.🎭
