We went during the day during winter break. Wait time was no more than 5 minutes for be seated and to get out drinks after we ordered. Decor and menu items were well done in line with the Arcane theme. We're planning on coming back if we have time before the event is over.

We had a business meeting that started a little later than expected due to traffic. But the service was so awesome that I forgot all about it. We had sliders and Parmesan french fries that were amazing. Such a great experience. The server was so sweet that she was able to set a table on the inside because it was chilly out and she made the inside bar area stunning. Such a nice experience.

Angel was our bartender and they did a wonderful job of making recommendations on our first visit to Hanger 18. We had the chicken and rice soup (a bit salty) but tasty, the hummus and tzatziki appetizer was fantastic and we had the Hanger Salad with Chicken and that was delicious! We had to have a bite of the fruit cobbler even though we were stuffed! The martinis were excellent! Also need to mention the ambience is very welcoming and modern! Thank you for a great first visit!
