"No shade to Medieval Times, but our dinner theater era of choice is definitely more Cotton Club than clammy castle. Damsel, a stylish cabaret restaurant in Chattahoochee Works, features singers and dancers who perform to a multigenerational musical mix that jumps from Gwen Stefani to Peggy Lee. A dark, unmarked entrance leads to a lively chandelier-filled dining room, where wait staff in formal waistcoats pass around hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in classic or trendy, heart-shaped glassware. The nine-course small plates dinner, with things like lobster salad-stuffed pastry cones and tender beef wellington slices, also tastes far better than the dinner theater meal you were expecting.
