Only been once, went on Christmas Day. Overall disappointing for this level of restaurant. Service: good Drink: had the winter solstice. Didn’t really taste like the flavors described. I couldn’t drink it and had to send back. Bar tender understood and took it off my tab. Food: Parker rolls and Cesar salad: good but nothing special. Beef Wellington: special menu item they were doing for Christmas. I never had it before and wanted to try it. Not good and I am assuming it was not representative of the classic dish. The tenderloin was extremely bland and had no flavor. The surrounding pastry was undercooked, flaky on the outside but raw on the inside. I had to eat around it.

I book many places, we were excited to share a great experience w/ staff and the food is not worth it. The music was great, if you have to get up go to the bar for a drink THAT IS A PROBLEM. And the half lobster tail a JOKE! Spent over 1200 Dollars for —-!! Super disappointing, lesson LEARNED.

Asked for a box because we had about half our 16oz left. Got home and realized they only gave us what was left of our sides and none of the steak.

The interior aesthetic is great but the food fell short. I never send food back because I don't trust what comes out of the kitchen after. Blame Bourdain.. The chicken dish they have composed here is perhaps the most disgusting match of textures and flavors I've ever had at a semi fine dining restaurant. I didn't complain to the waiter because I've learned what is the point, he didn't cook it, he didn't put it on the menu and he didn't warn me and try to steer me better. I don't know why they serve this dish or who actually enjoys it. Legitimately the worst chicken dish I've ever been served at a restaurant. What absolutely bizzare flavor and texture!!! Maybe some eat it confusingly but the dish is horrible. The mushy stuff on top under the skin with those pistachios whole was just horrendous. The jus was the only thing saving that dish and I don't know why the server poured so little over and didn't leave the rest! The gnocchi side was amazing.. the smoked carrots needed to be cooked longer as they were hard to cut. The taste was good but I shouldn't struggle to cut my food on a two person almost 400 dollar check and I also shouldn't have had to mostly eat my husband's steak because who in the heck would have guessed the only chicken dish on any menu would be something so hideous? I cut the chicken part from the bottom of a couple but it's texture was spongy.. I think it was by design but just reminded me of very cheap pressed together chicken. The rolls and butters were not worth the calories.. the special burrata was very good, however. The magic mushroom was ruined by pieces of cranberry skin or something that was almost like tissue paper I had to fish out of my mouth in clumps while eating it. The host was delightful and the best thing about the experience. Server mediocre, really wish we could have found him for our check sooner as we were late to our show as a result) This restaurant is all glitz and poor execution and substance. Won’t be back.

We had a very enjoyable time at Huntress. The staff was extremely professional and we’re highly attentive to our needs. The drinks were delightfully crafted, the steaks were perfectly cooked to our liking and the sides complemented the mains seamlessly. We especially enjoyed the desserts and the magic mushroom at the end. I will be back with more friends and family soon!

The first time we came here it was amazing and this time not so much. The service was mediocre and the food was meh. We will not be returning which is unfortunate.

This restaurant was terrible. Another mediocre gaslamp place relying on foot traffic and tourists. If management are reading this, I’d be mortified to own a place like this. The $10 bread tasted like yesterday’s bread. Steaks were overcooked with mediocre sides. $600 for 4. Will NOT be back.

Best part of this place is service - really top notch. The ambience would be ok, except that the trance music made conversation at the table nearly impossible to decipher. That was really unfortunate.
