A wonderful Thanksgiving Day experience. The food was great and plentiful. Unique differences like the fresh baked pop-overs and candied ginger on the pumpkin pie made this a meal to remember. Our waiter Steven was exceptional This is the 4th time we’ve been to an H2O restaurant and every time has been enjoyable and memorable.

Our friends ordered the Monkfish Special and smiled as they cleaned their plates. The ribs were excellent as was the grilled salmon -- both portions too big to be consumed in one sitting. We took leftovers home to enjoy another day.

There was an event in town so it was understandably crowded. We waited for a table and our food for awhile even though we had a reservation. But the staff was very nice and did their best considering the volume of people. Menu was surprisingly varied for what I thought would be ordinary pub food. There was live music which was nice.
