    We had a wonderful experience at Hemenway’s! The cocktails were fantastic, and everything from the shrimp cocktail to the lobster and paella was absolutely delicious. The crème brûlée was the perfect way to finish the evening. A special shoutout to Danny, who was a fantastic server, attentive, personable, and made the entire experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!
