Hutches for dinner Good wait staff and attentive Parking behind the restaurant Allen brothers meat!
How could you not enjoy a place with different bread offerings? Service was top tier. Ambiance was wonderful. Parking was interesting in the narrow entry way to the lot. Surprising amount of parking hidden away. My only ehh was my meal. I ordered the chicken Milanese (I know it's a steakhouse) and it was plan and needed some balsamic or something on top. So much arugula as well. Definitely a place I'd return to try something new.
Insanely good. I'm always on the hunt for the next best cooked steak, and found it here. It lived up to the hype. We went on a date night here (reservations recommended because it was packed). I got the ribeye, and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We had the tuna tar tar and the pork belly appetizer and both were also phenomenal. It's upscale and pricey but worth every penny.
We were seated at a two person table which I think is really too small for two people, but I soon discovered that the tables with 4 place settings would fill up quickly. We had an earl(5:30) reservation; the restaurant was quite full when we left(at least the room we were in. There are more rooms, but they seemed to be closed off last night.) I ordered the Faroe Island Salmon. It was perfectly cooked, served on a bed of garlic spinach. The salmon was grilled and Cajun seasoned. There were 3 oven roasted red potatoes and nice grilled slices of red bell pepper and yellow squash. The bread is not a basket on the table but rather a "bread lady" offering slices of tomato focaccia, a rosemary cheesy bread or a slice of baguette. She return a second time while we were waiting for our dinners. The bread slices were delicious; this serving method also prevents waste. It's not inexpensive to eat here, but worth every bite.
I drove by this restaurant many, many times, but never visited. It was time to change that. We were seated in the original part of the restaurant (before they expanded into the former flower shop). That part looks small, but I noticed there were more rooms and a bar area somewhat hidden in the back. The tables are a bit close together. I was in a steak mood and they have several options. I went for the. beef tenderloin "au poivre", an 8oz. peppercorn crusted steak, , pan-seared with a brandy cream sauce. It was served with some pieces of squash on a bed of spinach and a generous serving of mashed potatoes. I requested medium rare and the chef delivered. The sauce was great. It's not inexpensive ($64.95) but it was excellent.
I came here for the first time for my 1 year anniversary with my husband & it was a great choice since we both love meat and seafood. Menu is very straightforward & I love how it includes the origin of where the food came from. Our server was amazing, enthusiastic & helpful as he gave us wonderful recommendations for us first timers. We decided on calamari, bison steak & the steak and frites. We both agreed that hutches was the best steak we ever had ever! Everything was cooked to perfection & left your mouth with an explosion of flavors. Trying the bison meat for the first time was a great choice as the meat was so tender and lean. We truly had an amazing time & we would most definitely come back again!
Hutch's for the win as always! Went there on a Tuesday evening to celebrate a birthday. The service is exceptional, lot of attention to detail. We sat in the bar room, which was a nice cozy experience, but maybe a bit loud. The food was excellent, from the bread basket or our entrees and appetizers. I've never had a bad time at hutch's so I am glad to have gone back and will most definitely be returning.
We sat right next to the ramp to outside. I'm right handed and the glass was to my right, so I kept hitting it with my elbow. We tried to move the table a bit away but then it was wobbly. I don't remember the servers name, but she was good, I think I would have liked her to be slightly more attentive though. Tomato & Fresh Mozzarella Salad 10/10 Super fresh and delicious. All ingredients paired well with each other. Traditional Steak Tartare 10/10 Very flavorful and good seasoning. Steak was tender. I thought the bread was too hard and crunchy. Bison strip (daily special) 9/10 Medium. Cooked perfectly. Seasoned with salt and pepper. It was very good, I just wish it had more flavor like finished in butter and rosemary or something. Steak frites 8/10 Medium rare. Was slightly over cooked. A little closer to medium. Seasoned with salt and pepper, flavor on the steak was good. Truffle butter was delicious and the truffle flavor was great. Fries were overcooked, garlic aioli tasted good though. Double chocolate brownie sundae 10/10 Brownie was delicious, melty and gooey inside. Ice cream was vanilla bean. Tasted homemade. Delicious flavor.
Hutch's is a solid spot and has become a staple visit whenever I'm in town. I focused mostly on the specials during my visit, and while some dishes were excellent, others were just okay. The escargot was great, served in a delicious buttery garlic sauce with bread for dipping. Their ribs (not pictured) are also good--great sauce and a nice char. The special monkfish, served osso buco style with shrimp and rice, was solid but didn't quite wow me. The real star was the seasonal sautéed soft shell crab. It came with rice, veggies, and an incredible white wine/buttery sauce. I returned specifically to have it again, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the first experience--the crabs were a bit anemic, the sauce lacked the bright citrus notes, and they served a smaller portion of it this time around. Service was attentive, especially by the bussers, but the wait staff service can be inconsistent. Some waiters were on point, while others seemed either too busy or less engaged to deliver the same level of service. In terms of ambiance, the move is to come here early to enjoy a nice romantic evening out. It can get quite busy and frankly loud, especially in the bar area, when you come during peak hours. Hutch's has the potential to be an exceptional dining destination, but the inconsistent food and service, along with the loud ambiance during my visits knocks it down to 4 stars IMO. I'd still recommend it, especially for those signature dishes, but there's room for improvement to make it a truly standout experience.
We had dinner reservations, upon arrival we were greeted and seated right away. The restaurant is a lot bigger since last time mi was here was years ago! Really nice tho. Overall ambiance was okay. A little loud as the restaurant got crowded. Our server came over, provided us the specials of the day. Gave her recommendations. Spaced out apps to entrees. Everything was delicious including our Oregon Pinot Noir. We started with oysters, had the sliced bacon which has a caramlized flavor, really good. The tomato and mozzarella salad with prosciutto was delicious. For dinner we had the strip steak and jambalaya pasta. Both were excellent. Was a little nervous coming to visit with the most recent unfavorable reviews but we had a great visit. S
