We had a wonderful brunch on New Year’s Day, our server was so friendly and the Eggs Benedict and Walleye Hashbrowns that we chose from the menu were both excellent. We love Hell’s Kitchen for the festive ambiance during the Holidays and the food and service have always been great when we’ve come no matter what time of year!
