    Unfortunate chance seated us next to a loud, bickering couple. Otherwise, all was wonderful. Our server, was excellent. The food and wine were scrumptious.

    Wonderful dinner! May be our favorite restaurant in HH so far. My husband’s martini was perfect. We split the baked oysters to start and both had prime rib. It was cooked perfectly…medium rare. Atmosphere is relaxed and staff fun and attentive. Definitely recommend.

    What a terrific place for steak and seafood! Some local folks told us about this and it did not disappoint! Our waiter and service was outstanding. We are greeted immediately from walking into the door. Our steaks and appetizers were made to perfection. The environment inside reminds me of a British pub, Dark wood Homey , and inviting.
