We love Hales'! Every meal has been spot-on, and it is hands down the best Asian food in the region. The soup dumplings are a must, but also try the other starters and appetizers. We had tge spicy green beans, and fell in love with the house made spicy sauce.

The salad was uninspiring . Of three of us who ordered medium filet all were overdone. Two complained but I didn’t bother. The vegetables were good. None of the desserts on the menu inspired us to order. A gorgeous restaurant but the food wasn’t. Kate who waited on us was lovely. We had expected a special evening but it was all a bit disappointing.
