    Thankful that HMBBC was open on Thanksgiving so we could enjoy an outdoor lunch with family. Food, service, weather and outdoor view were excellent.

    Made a reservation 4 weeks ago for Thanksgiving Day at 4:30 PM. Got there 5 minutes early and they said there was no table for us. What’s the point of making a reservation if you’re not going to honor it. Had to wait 20 minutes to get a table. That just ruined the day for us. Also, the place closed real early too around 6. Felt rushed in the end. I’ve been coming here for years. Worst experience I’ve had. I’ll come back, but please honor the times that people requested.

    Salad was very good, Turkey dinner good,dressing a little dry. We ordered take out for the pumpkin cheesecake dessert and when we got it home,a big chunk of it was missing! We like that dogs are welcome and they even have a special menu for them. Service was a little slow,but there were a lot of people there and the waitress was very nice and brought us the extra things we ask for. She did forget the silverware,but was very apologetic and brought it right away.

    It’s great that they were open for Thanksgiving so we could have a festive afternoon with our “bubble” to take our minds off not being able to visit family this miserable year. The host staff were very helpful and we only had to wait an extra 15 minutes to get a view table. It’s such a nice atmosphere on the patio. Tables were adequately spaced out for COVID safety. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. My low marks are for the turkey dinner and pumpkin cheesecake. I’ll cut them slack because it’s a REALLY hard time for restaurants and you can’t judge a restaurant for one single meal. We’ll come back again to try their regular menu which is probably more reliable.

    Had the steak and eggs, menu said steak is medium rare, confirmed with our waiter that I wanted the steak medium rare just like the menu suggested, I received the steak extra well done. Not sure where the disconnect came from
