    Great location for a special occasion or even just a regular meal. Service was outstanding and the food exceeding expectations. The Cauliflower steak is absolutely amazing! The Crabcakes are outstanding as well. The location is ideal. We booked our group as two separate parties - teens at one table and adults at the other. When the hostess realized this, she asked if we would like to be seated near each other and then made it happen. This was greatly appreciated!

    We’ve been to Huncho House a couple times and wanted to visit 1123. I love both, but the full service bar at 1123 is an added bonus. Sushi lovers would love this place. I had the fish and grints and the left overs are delic still! The chocolate cake was for dessert, delic as well. I’m moving out the area but when in town will return! Note, I am vegetarian, occasionally pescatarian when I eat out, no vegan options, but I came also for the amazing ambiance. Our waitress was Faith, loved her personality and she allowed me to hold some items to the side and customize my food a little. I didn’t ask for much. The flavors was on point!
