Our last night in town for Spring Break with our teen and we wanted another option besides purely seafood but also with an upscale feel. All 3 of us loved our food! We usually make reservations but this was a last minute find and we were seated right away on a Saturday night. Service very good and the place was beautiful. Packed for basketball games but still the interior vibe felt like an old school New York Steakhouse. Dinner started with warm bread and our server didn't miss a beat. Bourbon choices like we've never seen and also an extensive wine and cocktail list. We started with the Brussel sprouts and Crab cake. Both were phenomenal. Our teen even loved the Brussels! For meals we ordered a smash burger & fries, a pasta bolognase dish and a white vegetarian lasagna. Everything was eaten. We agreed some of the best food we've had here and also at home! Our daughter finished with the bourbon bread pudding and ate almost the entire thing. Kudos to this restaurant and staff for the ambience, as we wanted dressy and they accomplished that with a major sports event happening around the bar. We will definitely be back!

The prime delmonico is the best steak I've ever had. It's pricey but 100% worth it. The rest of the food was amazing ad well. Server was knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel at home. Top notch place for dinner.

Amazing steak house. Went with the family and in-laws and the food was good but the service made even better. They were kind to our 1.5 year old, even when she was getting restless at the end. Would def come back.

Sometimes you get in the mood to treat yourself to a really good dining experience. Sure, it might be out of your typical price range for dinner but, hey, you deserve it. And what better way than a place with a great bar with a bourbon menu that will make your eyes pop, a great subdued (relaxing!) atmosphere and some of the best steaks you'll ever eat. Oh, and top notch servers who are knowledgeable and attentive without being annoying. Well, this place should be on your must try list cause it meets all those criteria. The menu has more than steaks including fresh seafood, pasta, etc. But the star is the steak. As a bonus, they feature a dessert of a FLIGHT of crème brûlée. You read that right. A serving of four different flavors, all distinctly different. That raspberry Chambord one is especially delightful.

New York strip I got last time we went. Absolutely incredible. Also their calamari, stuffed mushrooms and sautéed mushrooms are highly recommended.

We had a big group and someone else picked the venue, so I didn't really know what to expect until I looked at the menu. Its more steakhouse than Italian and I was fully expecting to order a good hunk of red meat. But our waiter said the smashburger special was exceptional, so that caught my eye. Boy was he right! Perfectly cooked and the meat was so flavorful; by far the best burger on the island. The fries and WG salad were good, but probably should have went for something different. Service was great and they handled our big group easily. Would definitely return again when in HH.

Enjoyed a cozy date night here. On the island for a vacation and love to find spots that locals approve of- this is definitely one of them. Cozy lounge vibe inside, outdoor seating is nice as well. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful, timing when checking in was perfect. Enjoyed cocktails, salads and entrees. Everything was great. Standouts we're the sword fish, fresh bread and and sweet potatoes. Salads were fresh and flavorful and quantity was no object. Both entrees were great and again had generous amounts of food. Will be back for vacations to come.
