| - I went here for the first time on my anniversary. We both had the rib-eye which came with potatoes. We ordered the mac and cheese and cauliflower au gratin as sides to share, and a nice bottle of wine.
First, the atmosphere: I loved the look of the restaurant when we first walked in. We were greeted by the hostess who offered to check our coats and sat us. I really liked the romantic feel of the place with the high ceilings and dim lighting. The building itself is just beautiful inside and the chairs were incredibly comfortable.
Second, the food: It started with bread. I was pleasantly surprised that the complimentary bread was actually garlic bread. I love garlic bread, so that was a plus. When the meals came I couldn't believe how big the portions were. The steaks were beautifully cooked, and the potatoes were nice and hot! So often I get mashed potatoes and they're luke warm, when I like my food piping hot. The mac and cheese was absolutely delicious, and the cauliflower as well.
Third, the price: My boyfriend and I knew we wanted to go to a steakhouse for our anniversary and looked around for the perfect place. One of the reasons we choose Hy's is because you got more for your money. The steaks were in the same range as other higher end steak houses, but it was the only restaurant that had potatoes or rice come with the steak. The accompaniments were only $10 or so more, and were definitely big enough to share. There was so much food that I had a full lunch leftover for the next day (and boy it was delicious!)
Last, the service: Overall I was impressed with the service. Our waiter was very pleasant and did not rush us. That being said, the fact that he didn't rush us was also his downfall. When we finally asked for the bill, I had my credit card out almost immediately. We waited a long time for him to finally run it. Other than that, however, I was pleased with the service.
