Best Restaurants for Groups in Downtown

Andrea was amazing. The beverage options were superb. The food was bland.

Met a friend there for dinner on a Monday night. Service was incredible, and we order some of the smaller plates and shareables. It was all fantastic. I also very much appreciate a cocktail/drinks list that includes some Zero Proof options and Mocktails! The inside of the restaurant is adorable, and the perfect ambience to meet up with friends. This was my second visit, and both times have been worth the trip!

We hadn't been back to Szechuan House in a year or more because the food and the service has gotten bad. Our daughter wanted to go back for her birthday, so we went. It's cleaner and fresher-looking. The tables are not all crowded in the front restaurant but now are spaced out, using both rooms well. You will immediately see the change in staff service, friendly faces, and welcoming comments. The menu, too, has changed, with some of your old favorites, but many new or reconceptualized meals. We had the Mushrooms, Home-style tofu, the green beans, Cucumber crush (with more garlic now), and vegetable spring rolls. Sadly, gone is the Crispy Tofu from the old store. We loved all of it and took much of it home. Food is served Family-style or you can eat it all yourself. There is no dessert and no wine. Our server came by occasionally to check on how we were doing, which was a change from before. My only comment is that the food has been Americanized, and as such, the heat from before has been toned down to American levels. This is too bad. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items (red print on the items means spicy, so we may not have ordered the right foods. Still, a bit more spicy would be nice. You're the Szeshuan House, after all, and Szeshuan province is known for its spicy foods. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back. Our whole meal for three, with tip, came to $75, and we have leftovers for this week.

Ribs were dry but tasty ! Fries were just ok. Will always be back to HRC !
