    We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Optimist. Our server was Damien and he gave excellent service all night. All the food tasted amazing and it was perfectly coursed throughout the night. Additionally, Damien had a strong table presence that really made our night. We will definitely be back.

    10/10 would recommend; it was a very elegant experience. I came to celebrate my birthday with my girl and the servers were extremely friendly, helpful, and respectful and never left us hanging or even with a slightly empty cup. We will most definitely be coming back!

    I accidentally made the reservation for Monday at 7 pm instead of Saturday which I didn't realize until they couldn't find my reservation. The host was so very kind about my error and thankfully was able to find us a table at 615 on a Saturday night. Our server, food and atmosphere was amazing. Would highly recommend you make plans to have dinner at Hal's, as I said fantastic service the whole way around. The Filet was amazing as well as the escargot, fettucine alfredo with the ending of a delicious cheesecake, no matter what we had it was terrific.
