We certainly enjoyed our delicious dinner. The service was excellent, however, we did feel a little rushed. We always enjoy a cocktail first, then we order. Maybe we should make a reservation at a later time so we aren’t rushed.

Our first visit to Hal’s was truly exceptional! Kyle, our waiter, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and showed great patience as we took our time making decisions. His recommendations were absolutely spot on, and each of our meals was excellent. We appreciated Kyle’s attentiveness and the professionalism of the entire staff. It was clear they worked seamlessly as a team, not just in serving but also in clearing and maintaining the dining area. The attention to detail and level of service made for an outstanding experience. We will definitely be back!
