    This was my first time and I have to say I was blown away! I loved the atmosphere. My next visit I will request a private table. Nothing wrong with our seats. Just my own personal preference. My filet was so tender and juicy. A true dream dining experience!!

    We decided to give our favorite breakfast/brunch spot a visit on a Saturday after thanksgiving which could have been a risk but to our luck it wasn’t busy at all. Our waitress was as very attentive and our food came out fresh. The starter biscuits and muffins were a hit per usual. The sweet tea needs some work because it tasted like water and let’s be honest we’re in the south we love our sweet tea. Also I want to shout out to Brian for checking in on us and making sure our food and service was going well.

    Our evening at Hal's was perfection. Day after Thanksgiving I was treating a family friend to an amazing Hal's steak dinner after he graduated boot camp. I noted in my Open table profile the reason for our dining with Hal's and they did not disappoint. Jeff our server explained the various menu offerings and suggested a few of his favorites and best sellers. We selected the 22oz bone in ribeye Pittsburgh style, the 12 oz filet and a 12 oz filet au poivre. I have never seen such thickly cut filets. We also selected several side dishes including brussell sprouts, the famous truffle mac-n-cheese and sauteed spinach. Way more food than we could possibly eat comfortably at one sitting. But necessary for a boot camp graduate who has been consuming 4000-500 calories daily in training. Jeff even surprised our graduate by bringing him a lava cake with ice cream. My guest was knocked out by the gesture and felt like a General instead of a Private. My compliments to Jeff for being so caring in honoring our new soldier. Also need to mention the host staff who so graciously provided a dinner jacket to get our soldier up to dress code so we could all enjoy an evening at Hal's. You saved our evening and I thank you very much. All-in-all our evening at Hal's was eventful in the very best ways and the entire staff we encountered are all top notch!
