My friends and I went there to celebrate retirement. The food and the wine selection was excellent. Service was a little slow, and it may have been because the restaurant was extremely busy. We will definitely return!

We checked out the new HH menu and it was AWESOME! Sliders, tempura shrimp and arancini balls were all fantastic as was the January wine of the month Vin Noir. Also cannot go wrong with a carafe of the barrel reserve. The HH red blend was just ok - esp after having barrel reserve. Service was exceptional.
