    All good. Great place. One issue yesterday was that large birthday crowd was standing between the bar and the hi-top tables. The servers couldn't get through with trays They were brushing against friends of ours who are also regulars at Houlihan's and who were eating dinner. They decided to take their meals to go and they left. Suggestion, with groups like that gathering for drinks with gifts, perhaps the management can offer them an area in the dining room and maybe give a small break like $10 off the check if they agree to move.

    We had an amazing anniversary dinner with a wonderful view! The oysters were so fresh and our steaks tender and cooked to perfection. We also had a very attentive server and we enjoyed a terrific piano player’s music. The menu has a nice variety and we’d like to try more of the dishes. Our only comment would be to add linen tablecloths. The plastic mats made it feel more cafeteria style and the meal (and prices) warranted a more upscale atmosphere. Truly great food!
