    Service was horrible. Took forever to get our cocktails. And they needed to be sent back . Waited did not listen to our order and the drinks came to us exactly how we did not want. Not great wait staff or bartenders and lighting is too bright

    It was my wife and I first time at this restaurant. Our server Manuel, was amazing. He recommended a red wine to me and my wife that was great. My wife got the sea bass, she like that the skin was nice and crispy. It was thinner than what she expected. The dry aged NY strip steak was great and at the price for 14oz, definitely unbeatable. Overall we had a great experience the only reason I gave the food a 4/5 star, was because of The sides. The sweat potato gratin was good, but it had a lot of oil on the bottom unfortunately. The Brussels needed some help on the crispiness. I expected them to be roasted. They were a bit bland and under seasoned. The main flavor that was coming through was vinegar.

    The food was very good and the selections were interesting. My table had salads, appetizers. Steaks scallops and lobster. The wine list was extensive. Our waiter was inexperienced and spilled drinks, couldn’t do the wine service correctly and apologized a lot. This is a new restaurant and the food is good. Other staff members seemed very good.

    Real chefs were clearly present in the kitchen at The Hartley on Wednesday night. The octopus appetizer was unique and perfectly cooked. The entrees were delicious. But the desserts! Yummy, original desserts made a special occasion special.

    Great experience, everyone was friendly since the moment we stepped inside. We had our 19 month old daughter with us and they offered us a high chair and were super accommodating. Our server was super friendly and attentive! Cocktail and food was top notch! Hope to go back soon!

    Overall good experience. Food was served at a good pace and had great flavor. Martini was $21! Find this overpriced for the drink and disappointing.
