    We love Higgins— it is extremely consistent and always delicious. The bar vibe is great — less formal, more chill, and you can order from whole menu. It’s honestly a 30 year favorite spot. I can’t eat gluten and there’s always great gf options.

    Have been many times and usually food is 5 star, but the last couple times has been disappointing. My seafood stew last night was so salty as to be inedible (they did remake it and then it was great) and my wife's risotto was very strangely perfumed and not tasty (to be fair, they didn't charge us for it). We often come here before going to a show at the Schnitz next door but I think Higgins needs to remember that while it's all great to be fancy and noveau cuisine, th3 food should still be craveable and noteworthy, especially at their prices. But at this point we'll just settle for appetizing. Get it together, folks...we want to keep coming!

    Higgins never disappoints. They were able to accommodate a change to the time of our reservation, which was greatly appreciated. Everyone in our party loved their meal, and the service was excellent, as always.

    My wife and I sat at the bar and Charlie brought me a glass of stout and Kelley a glass of Provencal rose'. Lunch for me was the best cassoulet on the planet and Kelley's smoked goose breast and tart with salad was fabulous. Greg is a genius. Thanks entirely. Cheers, Andy

    The service and ambience was exceptional The food which was a risotto was oily and overwhelmed by smoked cheese. The Brussels sprouts were interesting flavors but nearly raw. They did give us money back. I am not particular but this was a tried too hard and failed. Serviced again was excellent.
