As expected, wonderful food, service and comfortable seating. The food was prepared to perfection and they were extremely flexible on special requests. We were a large party and the seating was prompt and spacious. No long waits on anything, including the desserts at the end. Drinks were delicious and they could make most anything. Loved my lemon-drop martini and was sugar rimmed perfectly. Valet service was easy and prompt too. Can't wait to go back.

Great Valentine's Day/Love Day dinner night at Hal's. We LOVE Hal's!! Every time we come we are delighted by the food, service and atmosphere...but, it will be difficult going forward WITHOUT EDDIE SERVING US!!! WE LOVE HIM!!! It was Valentine's Day and it was PACKED!!! They were running a bit behind with reservations, so we had drinks at the bar (French 75/Crown Royal on rocks). When we did get seated, somehow Eddie made us feel like he was here JUST for us! His personality, his caring and attention to detail...a perfect 10! ...just like the food was. We enjoyed the crab cocktail, caesar salad, the NY Strip, Fried lobster tail, and the lobster mac n cheese. Absolutely delicious!!! Simply an amazing time, once again at Hal's!!! Thanks much!!

We went to Hal's for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The filets were perfectly cooked, tasted devine and good sized portions. Potatoes and salad had good taste as well. Service was good and attentive. Place was packed but I know why, food is top notch! Better make a reservation though. If you go, you will want to make sure you can get in. We will go back!

NICE 👍 what a great meal, drink and entertainment. The atmosphere and vibe was terrific. Everyone, staff and patrons were having a fabulous time. We had the fillet a Mac with asparagus. Flavorful, prepared to perfection. We went from the bar, to a table and back to the bar. The entertainment was out of this world. What a great talent. Met some great people enjoyed a cigar… terrific night team. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

My 1st time, but definitely not my last. Our waiter Brandon was very good and knowledgeable. The 22oz ribeye was melt in your mouth good, giving a Capitol grill a run for their $. The side dish portions were enough to share, and still take a doggy bag home. The Brussel sprouts with bacon, and side of mushrooms were awesome. The tossed salad was good, but missing onions. And the garlic parmesan bread that they give you when fist side is delicious 😋. This is one the reasons you'll leave with a doggy bag, if you eat much bread first. Bring ur wallet because a typical meal for two runs $200 easily without alcohol. The only things I didn't like were the small tables, too dimly lite lighting, and the restrooms thru the curtains downstairs where the servers were gathered.

We booked a reservation at 9:00 on Valentine’s Day. We got there 10 minutes early and were seated at 9:42. There were easily 30 people stuffed into the entrance and stairwell waiting to be seated. Quite good food and service once we were seated was great. Neither the host nor our waiter acknowledged how horrible the delays and restaurant management were after we brought it up, aside from saying they were running a “a little bit” behind. I’ve been there before on an off night, which was fine. Unfortunately Hal’s wasn’t able to meet the expectation for a holiday.

Visited Hal’s for the first time on my 30th birthday! Service and food were excellent. Love the they have live music downstairs, however I was glad to be seated upstairs because it was pretty loud! Recommend the espresso martinis & the filet medallion. Great spot for a special occasion and I hope to be back celebrating another time soon!

My friends and I had dinner at Hal’s last night and not only was it the best food I’ve ever had in my life, we had the best service I’ve ever experienced at any restaurant and I have traveled the world. Our waiter Bill had such an award winning personality and recommended the best appetizers and wine selections. I would recommend Hal’s to anyone. Be sure to ask for Bill. Can’t wait to go back.
