Let me tell you something.... it is not easy to make a good French Onion Soup! It is quite easy to screw this one dish up....But Houlihan's passes the test and serves one of the best French Onion soups that I have had the pleasure of eating. In fact, I peeled off the cheese on the side of the bowl because it was that delicious!
My main course was an Atlantic Salmon with bread salad and asparagus.... I will just have to deal with the "smelly pee-pee" that is commonly associated with asparagus! The salad consisted of arugula (or Rocket) and was served with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
This place was packed on a Friday night, was very clean, and the service was friendly to the point that the servers were constantly apologetic for things that did not require apology. They definitely had an "I can do it" attitude and believed in good customer service.
