The Sarah and Peer Pedersen Room

The Sarah and Peer Pedersen Room is the perfect upscale dining option to complement your evening or afternoon out at Lyric. The Pedersen Room restaurant features a sophisticated seasonal menu brought to you by Jewell Events Catering.

The prix-fixe dining experience allows you to choose from a curated selection of soups, salads, appetizers, entrées, and desserts inspired by the works on our stage.

Don't forget to pre-order desserts and beverages for your intermission or post-performance enjoyment. Place your order at The Pedersen Room prior to curtain time and they'll be waiting for you when you return.

Reservations are required in the Pedersen Room.

Please note that the Pedersen Room is open only to patrons who hold tickets for that day's performance. Entry to all restaurants is through the Lyric Opera House after presentation of tickets. Reservations are held for 15 minutes.
