After hearing about HOT and reading their website I was looking forward to trying a new place however after our lunch here I fail to understand the rave reviews. First of all the website is totally deceptive I saw no gold fish pond and no cats and I expected a nice patio. We seated on the left patio which has no ambiance aside from lush vegetation around the outside walls. There is some sort of fire place looking empty square in the middle and basic tables and chairs- that's it. Really just blah. Hostess was borderline bothered by our presence even though it was after lunch and I made a reservation, server was average, service was prompt and food was excellent but patio atmosphere is lacking and parking is annoying
