    Very nice before hockey game light dinner. Service was excellent, courteous, and professional from Neal. Oysters were excellent, particularly the group from PEI. Gem Salad was delightful and plenty for two. Ceviche and crudo were fine, but we will both choose more distinctive alternatives next time. All told, very good light dinner. We will return for real dinners and for the Happy Hour menu pre-game.

    Excellent food and service (waiter was Russell). We had asked for a quiet table, but a large group nearby was quite noisy. We’ll be back.

    I have been to Hanks twice and while the food was excellent both times the service wasn’t. During my most recent visit with a girlfriend I experienced a drastic decrease in service than when I visited with my husband which was disappointing. We were not given any explanation of the menu, recommendations, asked about allergies even though it was noted on the reservation, and had to ask to place our entree order. The vibes were off - oof.

    We enjoyed our experience for our anniversary. crab soup is wonderful and full of crab chunks. The oysters Rockefeller were just ok not great. We had the gem salad which was delicious. The ceviche was kinda bland. We will go back but I prefer sitting in the bar lounge area instead and happy hour has great prices and menu. The dining area is much louder than the lounge.

    Fabulous date night location. Great food and ambiance. The she crab soup was stellar, as was the scallop crudo and the grouper.

    Had dinner at restaurant for anniversary. Service was great. Started with Crab cakes, delicious! Salmon was excellent! However, disappointed they changed vegetable for that dish from asparagus to broccolini. Waitress was very accommodating & made sure I got asparagus. My husband had the seafood platter. Seasoned well. Would have preferred 2 pieces of fish & less fries. Overall food was great. We will be back!
