    I understand that the location you’re at right now is temporary but that patio is wonderful! My family and I had a great time celebrating my sister’s birthday. The food was excellent so was the surface.

    Thanksgiving at HiFalutin: A Delightful Experience We’ve dined at HiFalutin several times and have always enjoyed great food and warm hospitality. A particular highlight has been their delightful mini-blueberry muffins—seriously, they’re a must-try! This visit was for Thanksgiving, and we arrived about an hour early, unsure of what else to do. The staff graciously offered us seating on the patio, which was perfect given the pleasant fall temperatures. While there were heaters on the ceiling for those needing extra warmth, we found the weather just right without them. The restaurant offered a fixed-price Thanksgiving menu, with no à la carte options—a choice to balance efficiency with quality. The starters were solid: the Caesar salad was crisp and flavorful, and the mushroom soup was rich and satisfying. However, the real stars of the meal were the entrées. I opted for the salmon, which was cooked to perfection, and Duffy had the prime rib end cut—a generous portion that provided delicious leftovers for Black Friday breakfast scrambled eggs. This was my first time choosing seafood over traditional Thanksgiving fare, and I loved every bite. The dessert options rounded out the meal nicely, with the pies offering a sweet finish to the feast. While the food was excellent, the service truly set this experience apart. Our server, Kelly, was fantastic—attentive, engaging, and genuinely interested in offering upbeat hospitality. We liked her so much that we added her to our contacts for future visits, ensuring we can request her next time. Overall, HiFalutin continues to impress with its great food, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service. It’s a spot we’ll keep coming back to—and if you go, be sure to ask for Kelly! Oops... I nearly forgot to mention one of the hallmarks of HiFalutin: great food at reasonable prices.
