Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Palisades Northwest

I saw the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. She was wearing a cream sweater & sat at the end table by the booth against the wall, you know, to your right when you first enter. She was sitting with a man who looked maybe 5 years older than her, & next to him was a much older woman in her fifties. Needless to say I assumed they were together, though when the waiter came, I saw her hold up a “two” with her fingers then make the “check” pen-signing in sign language. Why would she ask for two checks if they were together? Either the man would pay for everyone, or could their check have been separate from the old woman’s? Or did just one of them pay for the old woman? It was very perplexing. I was also ecstatically relieved when the man took off his beanie & revealed he was bald, with a horseshoe pattern beyond any saving. I contemplated walking up to her & showing my long hair & unruly beard (I have been #TooMuchHair2024 maxing), like the way a male peacock would approach a female & show off his large feathers. But alas, I did not approach her out of fear of rejection, not because I was threatened by ol’ cue-ball over there. The burger was also incredible.

We loved that the special Thanksgiving menu offered a variety of options (turkey 3 ways, salmon, gnocchi…) and the starters were substantial & had great variety. The service was attentive & “cool”. No big upsell, but we had a wide scope of options. The noise level was comfortable on a holiday. A nice balance of family-friendly & adult dining. Huge fan. We had 3 college-aged guests & 2 adults over 50. High priority was dessert (10/10) and menu variety of options. Win win. Easy on-street parking. Courteous service.

Food was so amazingly good, from the roasted cauliflower to the tender and flavorful steak. The service was friendly and helpful, modifying the chef's menu for our vegetarian with shellfish allergy guest. And the overall enviroment was warm, welcoming, and cozy. My only complaint is that the experience is so good that no one wants to leave their tables! Like a great family dinner. Thank you

Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!

Went for a dinner with friends and it was nice, food was good, just a tad loud.
