    What an experience for another time:) Hosts were plesant and friendly. My husband and I were greeted with a warm smile. Bartender made amazing drinks. It was cold outside and it took less than 2 minutes for me to feel warm and cozy from my Pearberry cocktail (a hit). The Mountain Manhattan was a huge win for my husband (pure alcohol mix of bourbon, Antico, sweet Vermount n Angostura bitter w cherries). If you love a great steak- tomahawk Steak cooked at medium temp is the best option and Yes, it’s worth every penny:). It’s sliced for you and you can add anything you want on it. I am returning guest, so I had to try the Lamp Chops cooked at med temp. Wooooo!!!!! Beside the amazing presentation, you need no sauce. Just slice it down the middle, one bite will leave you shocked and wanting more. If you’ve been here, you know I am right but, if you haven’t, you’re missing out on the most fabulous restaurant with the best chef and the best bartender! ! Thank you for superb service.! *****

    My spouse and I enjoyed our first date night of 2025, a long-awaited occasion. The venue's ambiance was ideal for a Friday evening. Our server provided exceptional service, expertly guiding us through the menu and offering insightful recommendations. My wife, a Johnson & Wales culinary graduate, possesses discerning tastes; however, she found the three-course meal to be quite satisfactory. The mushroom soup was excellent. My Brussels sprout salad, while enjoyable, highlighted a personal preference for alternative preparations. The mussels and frites were well-executed, though a more generous sauce portion for the mussels would have been preferable. The frites were crisp and well-seasoned. The spaghetti was excellent, and the scallops were perfectly cooked; however, the cornmeal/grits pairing proved less successful. Overall, the food merited a solid B+. We plan to order à la carte on our next visit. The only area requiring improvement was the cocktails. My Old Fashioned was under-proofed, lacking sufficient alcohol content. My wife's unique cocktail also suffered from a similar deficiency. The bartender should increase the alcohol concentration in future preparations. We recommend ordering drinks neat.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday at H&W Steakhouse, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. My husband and I are gluten-free. He was able to order the tuna with modifications , which was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. I had the Dover sole, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Our dinner guests also throughly enjoyed their steak and the appetizers we ordered for the evening. We had Andrea and Lindsay as our servers. Lindsay, truly elevated the evening. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure all of my husband’s dietary needs were accommodated seamlessly. Her warm and professional service made the evening feel extra special. H&W Steakhouse provided a memorable dining experience, and we highly recommend it for special occasions or any night out. We’ll definitely be back!

    We experienced the winter chalet. We loved the seating options and the cocktails (especially the espresso martini) were great and we also ordered the sliders and the gnocchi was amazing too.
