    Went here for our 1 year anniversary date! The food was delicious and our server Kayla was very helpful. While it is a higher end restaurant with high prices, I did think the food was well worth it and was perfect for a special date like this! We also got a complimentary dessert to celebrate (they usually give drinks but my boyfriend and I don’t drink)!

    This restaurant is amazing! I’m traveling for work and support farm-to-table where possible for so many reasons. I was staying near this restaurant and lucked out. Last night I had the mushroom pappardelle with scallops. That meal was so good that I went back tonight (the next night) and had one of their specials - wild sea bass with saffron couscous and a mushroom, tomato compote followed be a dessert special of cranberry gingerbread with an orange glaze. The service was excellent and the food was beyond good!

    Hattie’s comfort food never misses the mark. Parking was easy for our guests. We had great food, great service, and the room with the beautiful bar was perfect for our group. A great place to eat before an event at the MVP Arena. We’ll be back!
