Excellent restaurant for classic experience. Very good and well presented cocktails. Food, including amuse bouche, appetizer, one main course (duck breast), and deserts excellent. One exception was entree of "pressed" chicken breast which was a bad concept. Flavor OK but very heavy and dry and too big a portion. Sides were good. Wine list pretty good and not too expensive by today's standards. Ambience, at night, excellent. Parking convenient. Not inexpensive, but not outrageous either. Have been before for lunch, will certainly return for dinner.

Lovely meal all around: good cocktails, creative appetizers and entrees with fresh ingredients and wonderful flavor. The appetizers are a bit on the small size, but the entrees are ample. Highly recommended!

We had dinner and were able to eat outside. It was quiet and lovely. We didn't need heaters, but they were there in case. We started with the Dillinger side car----a great drink. I had the fish tacos. They were delicious---not quite a main meal for heavier eaters, but I wasn't too hungry so they were perfect. My friend ordered the St Louis ribs. Magnificent! Tasty and meaty.

Had a wonderful experience at HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the service was excellent. We ordered burgers which were delicious and perfectly prepared. The drink selection was great - we enjoyed some sodas and I particularly liked their Hazy IPA. The restaurant offers a nice blend of casual dining with quality food and attentive service. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our meal. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for good burgers in a pleasant setting with great service.
