Shrimp linguine

The feel-good global smash Mamma Mia! takes the stage at Belk Theater March 31-April 5, and just steps away, The Asbury invites you to say “thank you for the music” with a Mediterranean-inspired pre-show dinner. Enjoy complimentary parking and a themed three-course menu that’s perfect for a night when you can’t help but feel like a dancing queen.

From tomato-braised favorites and layered lasagna to lemon-kissed shrimp, crispy chicken, and indulgent desserts, this special menu is worthy of center stage. Available nightly from 5-6:15 p.m. for $45 per person, it gives you plenty of time to savor each bite before you say “here we go again” and head to the theater.

Asbury diners receive complimentary parking in the Fifth Third Bank garage (behind The Dunhill Hotel), making your evening easy and carefree.

Want to make a night of it? The Dunhill Hotel offers a special rate for Blumenthal ticket holders, because when it comes to dinner and a show, you can have it all.
