Nice atmosphere. The only thing they should improve is the ventilation system above each table to exhaust the smoke.

A wonderful place for a wonderful dinner. I always enjoy Hothouse and last night was no exception. The wait staff was outstanding and in short supply. Food was great. The place is an always quiet enough for conversation. The only sort of disappointment ( just sort of) was the strawberry shortcake which was very dry. But! The decadent chocolate cake was outstanding!! We’ll be back soon.
