    Hello! This was our second visit, and it was every bit as enjoyable as the first. We opted for the patio this time, which was the perfect way to take advantage of the beautiful weather. We were fortunate to have Kenzi as our server again, and she was just as wonderful as we remembered—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our meal. We sampled several of the happy hour specials, including the crab cake, raw and casino oysters, and fried green tomatoes, along with Hank’s Broiled Platter. Everything arrived at a comfortable pace, was incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. Hank’s is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants and a place we make a point to visit whenever we can. We highly recommend it and look forward to our next meal there!

    My wife and I had a very enjoyable Friday evening at Chouette. We enjoyed a nice bottle of champagne and a selection of appetizers from both their happy hour menu and their regular menu while sitting outside on a beautiful spring day. Our server was helpful and attentive. All of the food was delicious.

    Had friends coming in from out of town and wanted a nice dinner where we could catch up and enjoy dinner. We all ordered different items and we all loved everything. I love the vibe here and the staff is always great. Prices are very reasonable for an upscale feel. Worth every penny!

    We arrived in town late and starving. Mitchell’s was the answer. We began with salads: apple sslad, Caesar salad and Mitchell’s chopped. All were fresh, crisp and perfectly dressed. We followed with shrimp cocktail, salmon and lamb chops. All were incredibly tasty. The Brussels sprouts were a great accompaniment. Nicole, our hostess and server was a pleasure and attentive to our needs.
