    This was a great find for a quick meal before we went to the Civic Theater. We each chose a different burger from the happy hour menu, and everyone agreed it was great burger. The happy hour cocktails were wonderful as well!!! I can't address the other items on the menu but the burgers and cocktails were outstanding. Service was wonderful, attentive but not overly hovering!!

    Food was great and our server silvia was awesome. the only bad thing about our night was the location of our table. they say us right by the kitchen door and there was a lot of people walking by us. not to mention that one of the servers hit me in the head with a chair. this almost ruined the whole night

    Everything was great Except it took too long 2 get drinks. Also, the threat on OpenTable that 2 guests only get an hour and half is ridiculous and insulting. No way guests could complete this meal in that time. We were there 2 and a half hours and spent $250 before tip. The service is slow and meant 2 b.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at The Huntress. We started with two different cocktails that were very creative and delicious. The yellowtail Serrano was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Parker rolls were flaky and tasted almost like challah. We had them with the little gem Caesar salad, which was outstanding. The dressing was some of the best I’ve ever had. The flaxseed crisps really complimented the salad. For our entrée, we had the dry aged bone in New York steak, which they sliced for us and it was so flavorful, so tender, so delicious. The thousand stacked potatoes were also a great choice. My hubby and I split all these dishes and we had some leftovers. The quantities were very good. We had no room for dessert sadly. Service was excellent.
