The sweeping romance “The Notebook” takes the stage at Belk Theater May 19–24, and just steps away, The Asbury invites you to begin your evening with a show-inspired pre-show dinner. Enjoy complimentary parking and a thoughtful three-course menu available nightly from 5–6:15 p.m. for just $45 per person.
From The Summer We Met salad and Picnic Basket Eggs to Memory Lane Pork Chop and Endless Summer Peach Cobbler, each dish is designed to evoke the same sense of nostalgia and connection from the show.
Asbury diners receive complimentary parking in the Fifth Third Bank garage (behind The Dunhill Hotel), making your evening seamless from start to finish. Want to make a night of it? The Dunhill Hotel offers a special rate for Blumenthal ticket holders—because some evenings are worth lingering over.
