    Wasn’t feeling the best personally and not wanting meat but we were in town and the family wanted steak. The food we ordered was honestly prepared the best of any food we have ever had. The idea that a carrot could be eaten by all of us and enjoyed makes me laugh. The garlic potatoes actually tasted like garlic potatoes not just called that and were delicious. The best I’ve ever had at any restaurant. The spinach and mushrooms were so delicious I could have just eaten that bowl and been happy. A little pricey honestly, and we eat at a lot of places, but the chef prepared our food as well as it could have been prepared in all of our opinions. Our waitress was so pleasant and just the right level of attentive. No complaints only accolades.

    We only came here because we received a gift certificate years ago and plus we’d like to try every steakhouse (despite us not eating steak). We looked at the menu and we didn’t know what we would actually like. Our waiter was very accommodating when I asked if we could order Bar Bites as those items seemed more appealing to us. We ordered onion rings, lobster tacos, chicken bao buns, lobster fritters, prime sliders, and beef empanadas. Everything was delicious. Jeff was our waiter and he was really fabulous on Christmas Eve! Im very appreciative that they were able to accommodate us by letting us order Bar Bites without having to sit at the bar area. I’m very thankful for Jeff, valet, cooks, servers, and everyone who worked Christmas Eve.

    Hal’s was a classic steakhouse experience for our Christmas Eve dinner. Great server (it was busy but he remained attentive with some hustle). Apps, salads, steaks and sides all perfectly prepared and served. Good wine pairing with a California Cab. It’s what we were lookinng for (steak house experience at steak house pricing). Will be back

    This is our special place. We couldn’t never not have an amazing time here. We love the vibes and amazing food. Not to mention the amazing service. We have been 5-6 times now with different servers each time and every time was better that the last. Highly recommend and we will be going back many more times to come!

    Each year at Christmas, we gather for a special family dinner that has become a cherished tradition. This time, when we arrived, we noticed that our friend Marvelous wasn’t working. After texting her, Marvelous made the incredible gesture of driving 45 minutes just to join us and celebrate together. There are many places we could eat, but none offer the experience we share here—it’s not just about the good food, but the meaningful relationships that make it unforgettable.
