    Last minute decision to dine at Haywire. Got a quick reservation for our party of 5. We arrived early, but were sat immediately. Our server, Greg, was informative and knowledgeable about the menu. We decided to share the Cowboy Feast. The meat was cooked to our liking and all the butters that came with it were delicious. Our drinks were tasty. Overall, a great dining experience and we will go back.

    We were first seated at a cold table. The hostess was cheerfully accommodating to reseat us. Noise level varies by location. We were blessed with a less noisy table than the first one. Food was excellent and after my husband did not think his medium was cooked medium enough they warmed it and returned it. He was pleased with the result. Soup, salad, bread, filets, wine and dessert were excellent. Our server was good too

    We had an excellent experience on Christmas Eve. The Deviled Crab was the table’s favorite appetizer followed by the Monkey Bread dredged in the crab’s tomato compote. The Flounder special was cooked perfectly and the portion size was enough to prevent Santa from coming down most chimneys. Don’t sleep on the cabbage side, even if you “don’t like cabbage”. It’s definitely a game changer. The dirty martinis are consistently top notch. Credence should be toward the top of every Must Eat Here list.

    Great selection and value for Christmas Eve dining! Wonderful rich lobster bisque with chunks of meat to start,followed by an 8oz filet mignon with crabmeat lumps. Other great choices as well. Personal service by U.T., our smiling waiter. Excellent wine choices with a wide price range. We had a nice quiet booth and went early before it got too busy. Impressive.

    I really like the menu. It has a little bit of everything. The ambiance is pretty. But I must say above all the service was excellent! Ask to sit in Kyla’s section. She is so nice so attentive. She smiled the whole time and it was busy when we arrived. She made my experience even better! Thank you!
