    We were seated immediately afterarrival. David, our waiter, brought us complimentary champagne because we were celebrating our 50th anniversary. I ordered an appetizer of 6 oysters, which were excellent. For the main course, I had prime rib (rare, of course) and my wife had steak frites, which was also good. The portions were large! For dessert, we split a crème brûlée, which we normally do at Alexamder's. The service was quick and efficient; the food was very well prepared and presented. Recommend this restaurant highly.

    We'd been to Frankie Bones before. This was an excellent meal with excellent service as was our previous visit. Our waitress, Karen, was outstanding. We will likely return to Frankie Bones before leaving HHI. If we do, we will ask for the same waitress, Karen. She was as good as it gets. We didn't have to ask for anything. She anticipated everything.

    First time at Celeste…. Beautiful restaurant and unpretentious. We were late arriving in HHI and maitre’d pleasantly gave us a later reservation and said not to worry that we would arrive in our travel clothes. We arrived one hour before closing and stayed one hour after closing. Our server, Tash, was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations for entree, red snapper special. She was a pleasure to talk with. Maitre d was a hoot in his Christmas “dinner jacket “. All in all was a great time and a welcome finish to a very stressful travel day.

    Gusto never disappoints! I would absolutely recommend this spot for Christmas Eve service again and again. Abby was our server and she was incredibly personable and attentive. Each course was timed well and we never went long without a check in for drinks or anything we might need. The food was all fresh and flavorful and the portions were enough to take leftovers if that’s your thing! We are repeat customers and we will definitely be back.

    Our first experience at Wiseguys was Christmas Eve dinner and it was fabulous from start to finish. We were late making plans so our original reservation was for the enclosed patio but we received a phone call that they had a high top reservation open up so we were so happy to take it! The restaurant was nicely decorated for the holiday but would be very nice any time. We each ordered something different: shrimp scampi, blackened fish, scallops, and Brussel sprouts. Everything was well presented and delicious. Although the restaurant was extremely busy, our service was exceptional. Our server checked back with us often and our drinks stayed full. This is a place that we plan to return to!
