First time visiting happy hour at Houlihan’s, Kim at the bar was the best and made our drinks with love! We will definitely be returning here again. Great environment, great music and great people!

We had Brian as our server, rather young but undoubtedly the greatest service I’ve had in a while! We felt so guilty going in, because we knew we would have a lot of extra requests and specifications with our orders, but he perfectly understood and even double checked to make sure he got it right. He was always there when we needed, and very quick and polite! :-)

The food was good and nicely presented. The bartender, Kim, was friendly, social, and relatable. The raspberry peach sangria was amazing. Her twist on it made it even better. I would recommend it. I had two.

Happy Hour was lovely with Gigi as our waitress. She was timely, conversational and gave great recommendations. The music helped with the vibes too, as it had great variety. Definitely will recommend!

Jadiel was our bartender / server. Even the manager- Antonio stopped by several times to see how everything was. Very personable and had a great experience. We had appetizers - chips and spinach dip, fish and chips meal, and Irish nachos. Even other customers there were friendly and nothing but good things to say about this location. Haven't been here in a while but will definitely come back sooner than later !! Thanks for a great experience !!

Our waiter Brian R is a doll . Very helpful with suggestions of the menu items. Speaking of menu items, the Berry Good Choice Salad is excellent. Fresh and refreshing. I also recommend the Pink Elephant cocktail. Flavorful without being g too sweet!. I'll be back for more, and I'll ask for Brian to be our waiter again.

This place is great. I went with my family on a Sunday brunch and was greeted by Kayla who was very pleasant. She sat us and we were greeted pleasantly by Giselle. The food is amazing. So many great options and everything i tried was delicious. The service and attentiveness was on point. On my way out, I had to let Marcus whom I believe was the shift manager, know about his teamwork and the service. Will definitely come back. Thank you for the great experience. We found out about this place from our dear friends Joe and Lily who are locals and have been to your establishment countless times. I'm glad they recommended this place. -Ruth
