We had a fabulous experience from the coat check-in, to seating, to the meals. We had the cheese for two as starters, Caesar’s salad that was so good - the dressing was made tableside. Our steaks were made to perfection. I’ll definitely recommend Hy Steakhouse. The waiters were courteous and attentive. The overall experience is truly worthy of commendation.
