Great for fine wines

A restaurant that triumphs in taste over trend, Hal's is not the typical highbrow restaurant so often equated with food of this quality. It is a place of white table cloths, flowers, warm brick, & candlelight.

Expected consistent quality food and service. Doug did an amazing job of service tonight and we had a great dinner. The patrons continuing to smoke inside gets a little confusing after a while because you smell so bad when you depart. Tonight my steak was not cooked ordered, which is disappointing when spending this much on a filet, so I wasn’t able to eat it. However, everything else was up to par. The stone crab claws were excellent. The valet speed had also definitely improved lately. Will be back!

We ate upstairs where it was slightly quieter - Our server was great ! The Seafood platter for 4 people was skimpy - oysters on it were tiny. The Shrimp also very very small. Never saw the lobster - Filets were great. Salad was good. Sides were good. Bread pudding for desert a New Orleans favorite !

Our evening at Hal's was perfection. Day after Thanksgiving I was treating a family friend to an amazing Hal's steak dinner after he graduated boot camp. I noted in my Open table profile the reason for our dining with Hal's and they did not disappoint. Jeff our server explained the various menu offerings and suggested a few of his favorites and best sellers. We selected the 22oz bone in ribeye Pittsburgh style, the 12 oz filet and a 12 oz filet au poivre. I have never seen such thickly cut filets. We also selected several side dishes including brussell sprouts, the famous truffle mac-n-cheese and sauteed spinach. Way more food than we could possibly eat comfortably at one sitting. But necessary for a boot camp graduate who has been consuming 4000-500 calories daily in training. Jeff even surprised our graduate by bringing him a lava cake with ice cream. My guest was knocked out by the gesture and felt like a General instead of a Private. My compliments to Jeff for being so caring in honoring our new soldier. Also need to mention the host staff who so graciously provided a dinner jacket to get our soldier up to dress code so we could all enjoy an evening at Hal's. You saved our evening and I thank you very much. All-in-all our evening at Hal's was eventful in the very best ways and the entire staff we encountered are all top notch!

Everything was nice, but we felt bunched it with everyone so close together. And it was so dark we could barely see our menus, so we had to pull out our phones or use the candle on the table, which was the only light source
