I sure do hope you are reading this while they still operate the patio. Hot House is one of our default restaurant when we can't think of anything else.
It's because it's good.
Try their Gnocci and tell me you didn't like it... I'll tell you four million reasons why I love it. Call me, now. Ok.. granted, sometimes they can use less salt to make it but it's good more often than not. My friends always stare at their orders and salivate on my calorie-filled Gnocci whenever they taste it... on my plate.
People, you gotta believe me.
Two couches outside the patio with white linens add to summer ambience. It give a classy look.
Food ranges from $ 15 lunch menu to just about $ 30 or under... it's worth it. They have a good selection of wine list (though I don't drink) and I believe you can do BYOB for a corkage fee.
On Wednesdays, forget your diet and dine buffer-style with style for under $ 20. On some days, wanna bee performers entertain the guests. Waiters are generally happy to serve you.
Oh and check their bathroom.... there's a creepy mirror packed with ads - so I deducted a star.
