    House 406 never disappoints! The menu is great and changes often. We love seafood and they usually have 3 or 4 options to choose from. The craft cocktails are unique and delicious. The service is always friendly and prompt. We have lots of dietary constraints and they accommodate our needs carefully. Highly recommend if you haven't tried it.

    Need some more moderately priced wines on menu. $17 for a short pour of Pinot noir is steep. It’s nice when some restaurants have a larger and smaller pour. Seems like a larger pour for &17 of a nice Pinot noir would be more acceptable.

    Delicious food, definitely high end- though the noise level made the conversation so difficult that we almost left before ordering. It got better when it was later (after 8) when the crowd started to thin. Some well-placed acoustic baffles or acoustic art panels would be a welcome improvement. For this reason, I'd recommend the outdoor seating if the weather permits. The food was truly unique, though- creative dishes prepared perfectly.

    The meal and the evening service overall was extraordinary, especially as we had one member of our party with allergies to gluten & dairy. That was no issue for the kitchen as they just prepared the items without those ingredients (if they were there originally). Service was attentive without being overbearing and the entire evening is one we'll long remember for our best dining experience of the year.

    We loved this restaurant! The food and cocktails were delicious, and the staff were really outstanding. We were running late and they were gracious. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. And - we left something behind accidentally and they called us immediately so we were able to go back and quickly retrieve it. This is a truly great restaurant across the board.

    Solid food, good service. Wasn’t that crowded as we anticipated for a Sat. evening. Highly recommend the Sprout salad, and onion rings. Only concern was the annoying bugs inside the restaurant. The evening was pleasant so the front floor was open, and outdoor seating was busy, therefore the bugs got into main seating area. Not a big deal, but good opportunity for improvement.

    For the most part, the food was good, but for the price of the steak, it's not worth ordering it. The lamb chop appetizer was overcooked. We dined inside, but was disappointed that the doors were left open and we didn't have air conditioning. Would come back again, but just for drinks as they have a great selection of bourbons.

    We always have a great time at House 406. We sat outside this particular evening because it was a beautiful evening. We tried for the first time the Lamb Lollipops with an orange fig chutney as an appetizer, and they were delicious. We love all their salads, and enjoyed splitting the Kale Caesar salad. We have had many of their entrees and specials over the years. What we like about the menu is they take everything up a notch. Even a burger isn’t ordinary fare - - it is a ground short rib and brisket burger. If you like fish we have enjoyed the horseradish Parmesan crusted whitefish and various versions of their halibut. We were stuffed after dinner but had to try the strawberry rhubarb compote with vanilla ice cream. It was served piping hot and it was the hit of the evening. One of the things I love about House 406 is that Jen the proprietor sources many of her ingredients from farmers markets when in season. Shout out to the great staff at 406, particularly Sean who took care of us last night and Scott who we have met in prior visits. One more thing - - they have a nice wine list with most in an accessible price (and many special choices as well). House 406 is one of our favorite places .
