We were unaware that the restaurant was ‘under new management’. There were only 2 people working and they were both behind the bar. They were wonderful, but the entire experience was completely unorganized. Would have been nice to have had a warning that this happened prior to making our reservation, or even prior to showing up.

We accepted the only available table at 6:15 on a Wednesday. When we arrived there was no hostess and after a few minutes the bartender told us to sit anywhere and a server would be with us shortly. There was NO ONE in the restaurant. Three people sitting at the bar and one employee at a table. We didn’t understand why reservations were so limited. We sat for 20 minutes and no server came to our table so we left. Never to return.

We've always enjoyed the food at Hooked, but the entertainment that's there on Friday nights makes it extra-special. A really superb jazz duo.

Food was decent but very limited menu compared to what was listed online and didn't have a few things on an early Saturday night dinner. No music even though they advertise for it every weekend. Maybe an off night to go but a little disappointed.

I must say, we were skeptical due to the recent reviews, but we were blown away! We got the filet and lobster and the scallop risotto. It was beyond delicious! Perfectly seasoned and portioned. Service was also quick and the drinks were strong. We were very impressed.

We were excited to head to Hooked for my birthday after reading some reviews. Huge seafood fans and overall and really were hoping for it to be decent. The Seabass had 0 taste or flavor (Frozen?) and the veggie orzo base was absolute mush. I sat for 30 minutes with a full plate of food and our serve walking by numerous times without checking. The place only had a few tables seated at that time we were there. When the server came back I kindly showed her the plate and told her the food was not good and inedible. The plate was full aside from the few bites of Seabass I tried. She apologized and let me know she would see what she could do. After 10 minutes more of waiting, she came back said nothing and dropped a full bill on my table. When she came back I asked why nothing was done with the Seabass. She said the kitchen manager claimed I ate too much of the meal. This upset me to be accused of lying and I even tried to pay in full just to get out. The server apologized over and over but never brought the manager out after requesting. I ended up paying still near $30 for a meal I did not eat as I just wanted to move on at this point. I truly never complain or send dishes back. This entire situation was so unbelievable to me I had to go out of the way to post my first review. If any management from this restaurant reads this, I would appreciate further discussion as I do not believe the owners would want this in a higher end restaurant.

I was disappointed because the menus was limited because they are closing. But I had the sea bass which was excellent. As for the next question about recommendation, I would not recommend because of the limited menu.

Aside from not being able to watch the game in the private room, the service all around was superb! The family went for a birthday, but the atmosphere is fit for any occasion from business to date night. Thank you Hooked- I’m hooked!🫶🏼

While the food was enjoyable the soft jazz duo playing during much of our dinner really enhanced our enjoyment of the meal. The restaurant was intimate while not feeling you were on top of other diners.

Such a great experience. My husband had the linguine with clams in the shell and I had the panseared salmon. For the appetizer we had the mezze. We really enjoyed our dinners and appetizer. The service was excellent , drinks were excellent. We would highly recommend it to anyone. It was a lovely evening..

The waitress was good but not very experienced. She seemed to be rushing us a bit. The food is excellent! It always is, that’s why we come back often. The hostesses were on their phones when we approached the hostess stand. A little unprofessional. Hooked is great! Highly recommend for music and food.
