The service here was impeccable! My boyfriend and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here and I’m glad we did. We arrived to our table with heart confetti and a card waiting for us. Our waiter, Victor, was very informed and recommended great dishes and wine. Towards the end of our meal we were surprised to receive champagne to toast and were sent home with a box of chocolate truffles! We are so glad we chose to come here to celebrate! Thank you!

This was an extravagant birthday celebration that was worth every penny (and a night of impacted sleep for unusually rich food for me). Stake Chophouse has an impressive attention to detail!

We had a very enjoyable time at Huntress. The staff was extremely professional and we’re highly attentive to our needs. The drinks were delightfully crafted, the steaks were perfectly cooked to our liking and the sides complemented the mains seamlessly. We especially enjoyed the desserts and the magic mushroom at the end. I will be back with more friends and family soon!
