    Food was superb! However, the wine pours were SEVERELY lacking. You are supposed to fill a glass to where it starts to get larger in circumference, not beneath that. And they asked if we wanted another glass and refilled them while there was still wine in the glass, making the pour even less. Really, not cool. And our food took forever, all other tables had their food who sat down after we did. Service was very nice and the food was delish. Although the spaghetti and meatballs seemed to be a much smaller portion than everyone else's meals. Fill the glass to the right level and we will return.

    The food was very good, but our table felt forgotten. Very hard to get a servers attention, and we waited 20 minutes for drinks. Music was a random mid-2000s top 40 playlist which was also super bizarre

    I feel I may need to try this place again during a not-so-busy season. I visited during Restaurant Week, which brought a level of excitement and a large crowd to follow. The music was very loud, and the ambiance was super moody. The bar staff were kind and willing to serve, which made up for the lack of service received from the waitstaff. The menu for Restaurant Week menu wasn’t as appealing as the main menu, so we tried some of the recommended common dishes. The food was okay - not stellar, and the temperature was lukewarm. Towards the end of the dinner, we were ready to run out because of the noise level, crowdedness, and un-thrilling wait-service.

    Our friends came late, but the waitress was patient and warm—the food was delicious and the drinks made to perfection. I recommend; meatball, tuna and cauliflower apps, and the squid ink pasta, the duck bolognese, and the rock shrimp.

    Such a lovely dinner at Hancock St. restaurant. The space is so elegant and beautiful. The buttermilk biscuits and branzino were both delicious, and the chocolate cake was absolutely amazing. My server Melanie was wonderful, and took such great care of me. I will definitely return very soon.

    Food is great, but this is the second time I’ve dined at Hancock St. and been struck by staffing issues - specifically delays and the sense that the server is responsible for too many tables and is studiously avoiding eye contact with you because they’re overwhelmed. This time, the host ended up taking our drink orders b/c waiter was unavailable, and those orders took around 20 minutes to fill. The labor market is obviously very tight but this seems like an unusually salient issue at this restaurant.

    Food was overall very story and the reason why I come is because there are a few finishing that we really enjoy. Unfortunately, the host / maitre d' was extremely rude during our entire experience, not accommodating and had a rude tone toward multiple people in my party.

    They did not care when a mouse was walking netx to the outside tables. They just said “this is the street” and forgot about the mouse. It was very uncomfortable to stay having dinner there.

    Extremely overpriced. cauliflower appetizer fir $21 was small and just ok. The entrees are about $8-10 more than they should be. No refills on their $6 coffee. No sugar substitute available. Though the veal schnitzel was quite good, this restaurant is not worth the cost.

    Truly amazing dining experience at Hancock St. restaurant. The dining room is absolutely beautiful. I had the special kale and beet salad to start - which was fresh and delicious. I then had the tuna with the white bean puree and pesto sauce. It was out of this world. And I finished with the chocolate cake - which may be the best chocolate cake that I've ever had. My server Jaime was wonderful - so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He made everything perfect. I can't wait to go back.

    This may possibly be the best dining experience I’ve had since the beginning of the pandemic. The hosts were helpful, courteous, and affable. Our server was knowledgeable, patient, and precise with her service. The food was delectable and the price point was reasonable. But the best part? The ambiance and music! It was perfect and I will be back.
