   The service was good but the food was just ok but nothing to write home about. The food was expensive compared to the same dishes elsewhere. We are going to go again in case this was an off night.

   It was our first time at Hook and Ladder but it won't be our last. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was lovely. We were one of the first tables of the night to be seated and I wasn't thrilled about being placed right across from the restroom but that was the only negative aspect of our evening. The spicy tuna starter was amazing and I had the Chilean Sea Bass signature dish which was out of this world! My husband had a steak and caesar salad both of which he raved about, and we shared the creamed spinach which was also delicious. We were so full that we couldn't even attempt dessert. Definitely a place we will visit again!!

   We had a great date night here! The food was so good. I highly recommend the spicy tuna bites and beef rib. The drinks were really good and the staff was super friendly! We will be back.

   It was a beautiful venue. Server was not very nice and prices way too high. But the company I was with and the venue made up for it

   The food was really good! Everything I had was great. I had the New York strip, the truffled potatoes, the creamed spinach, and the tomato/basil salad. I also tried a bite of my wife's bass. All really good! The seasonal cocktail, the sweet potato old fashioned, was equally great. Overall, a good experience, nice scenary from the outside deck thing, and good service! Would definitely come back.

   Service did seem very slow as it took almost 10mins after we were seated to be greeted - then almost an hour until we got our appetizers and drink orders. I can appreciate being understaffed so it did not ruin our experience. Dinner was very, very delicious!

   Our server was MIA almost the entire time. It took 30 minutes to get water and a drink menu and we only got it because we asked a busser. After then waiting another 45 minutes for appetizers I got up to find our server because the people next to us were on their second course even though they were seated after us. We were there on the earlier side and it wasn’t busy. It ended up being an almost 3 hour dinner but not in a good way. We only had appetizers and entrees and the whole rest of the time was spent waiting. No explanation was offered. The busser did everything for us that was in her power to do - even things that aren’t generally a busser’s job, so we made sure to tip her personally. I can see how it might be good under other circumstances but this visit was so bad it was actually comical!

    Extremely long wait time, 30 minutes. Reservation was at 815, seated at 830. First drink at 9, food at 940. Server was clearly not happy at work and food was mediocre. Frankly upset because our first experience was great, #2 was OK, and this visit confirmed we are not fans of the restaurant. Great ambiance though!
