Best Seafood Restaurants in Brookhaven

Our evening at Hal's was perfection. Day after Thanksgiving I was treating a family friend to an amazing Hal's steak dinner after he graduated boot camp. I noted in my Open table profile the reason for our dining with Hal's and they did not disappoint. Jeff our server explained the various menu offerings and suggested a few of his favorites and best sellers. We selected the 22oz bone in ribeye Pittsburgh style, the 12 oz filet and a 12 oz filet au poivre. I have never seen such thickly cut filets. We also selected several side dishes including brussell sprouts, the famous truffle mac-n-cheese and sauteed spinach. Way more food than we could possibly eat comfortably at one sitting. But necessary for a boot camp graduate who has been consuming 4000-500 calories daily in training. Jeff even surprised our graduate by bringing him a lava cake with ice cream. My guest was knocked out by the gesture and felt like a General instead of a Private. My compliments to Jeff for being so caring in honoring our new soldier. Also need to mention the host staff who so graciously provided a dinner jacket to get our soldier up to dress code so we could all enjoy an evening at Hal's. You saved our evening and I thank you very much. All-in-all our evening at Hal's was eventful in the very best ways and the entire staff we encountered are all top notch!

Our first time dining experience was on Thanksgiving Day and the restaurant was packed with people and we absolutely enjoyed our food as well as our sensational server Lauren from PA! Our tables food came out piping hot and fast. All our accommodations were met (for our mobility challenged family members), and exceeded. My favorites from the menu include the Porterhouse Steak for 2, the massive sized onion rings, my son’s shrimp fettuccini, and the butter cake dessert! 10/10 on everything.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional dining experience we had on Thanksgiving. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfectly capturing the spirit of the holiday. Our server, Shane, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely made our meal special. The food was delicious, with every dish exceeding our expectations. Thank you for a memorable Thanksgiving celebration.

Beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our waiter Andrew was excellent. He made great suggestions and checked on us frequently. The support wait staff also did a great job. The cassoulet, French onion soup and scallops were delicious. The portions are big and enough for an additional meal at home.

Great lunch with my Grandson who is home from college. Steak was perfectly cooked and sides so delicious. Another great experience at Chops!
