I'm assuming one of the managers/owners/ or something was there eating with her family because she was able to help our waitress with questions. It just felt like a family environment. They love kids which is great because I have a toddler. The food is excellent whether you eat there or take out. I've had pizza, wings, and most recently the fettuccini Alfredo... yes, I know that's not real Italian, but I'm pregnant and it's what I wanted. It was a great creamy sauce.

The food is delicious. And the service is excellent. I've eaten here 3 times now and I continue to be impressed. I LOVE that the veggies are fresh (not frozen) and plentiful and that you can choose your spiciness level. The portions are large enough for two people so I feel the prices are fair. I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've tried so far. I've seen many restaurants one and go in this location but I hope Mali Thai Kitchen stays here forever.

We ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, and the bourbon bacon glaze was outstanding. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, which had the perfect balance of cool ranch flavor and just the right amount of spice. For drinks, we enjoyed the Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Maple Old Fashioned, and the Gummy Flight. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. One of the highlights of this location is the waterfront setting. We requested outdoor seating and were seated on the upper-level deck overlooking the water. There was live music at the lower-level outdoor bar on Saturday night, and we could still enjoy the music from our table upstairs while taking in the view. We were seated quickly, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Although Copper Penny Grill has multiple locations, the Hickory location's waterfront atmosphere makes it especially memorable. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, live music, beautiful views, and excellent service, Copper Penny Grill in Hickory is well worth a visit. We look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

1/2 Review: The Allard Bakery and Bistro…read more We stopped in for a late lunch and were immediately greeted and seated, always a great first impression. Our table setup included two chairs and a couch. While comfortable, the couch sat noticeably lower than the tabletop, making it a bit awkward for dining. This was the only minor knock during our visit. Service, however, was outstanding. Our server, Austin, was kind, engaging, and genuinely attentive to our needs. The pacing was spot-on and the hospitality felt effortless and warm. Now for the food. We ordered the Farm Burger featuring Kobe beef, an over-easy egg, bourbon pork belly, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, and baby mixed greens. It arrived beautifully plated and cooked exactly as ordered. We upgraded to the truffle fries, which were absolutely worth it. Crispy, flavorful, and indulgent without being over the top. We also enjoyed the seasonal roasted beet salad, a refreshing and well-balanced dish with strawberries, roasted candied pecans, and a variety of beets that played together nicely in both flavor and texture. Pricing felt appropriate for the quality of ingredients, thoughtful plating, and excellent flavors coming out of the kitchen. All in all, a fantastic experience with just a small seating hiccup keeping it from a full five stars. A return visit is definitely planned.

The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a modern meets classic charm that sets the tone for a thoughtful dining experience. I had my eye on the shrimp gnocchi, which several reviewers rave about, but unfortunately it was unavailable that day. We started with side Caesars which was fresh and crisp, though fairly standard. I ordered the Jadore Chicken Garden Salad and asked if I could substitute grilled chicken for crispy, but was told no. Oddly, when the salad arrived, it had grilled chicken after all. It was good, just not particularly memorable. My husband had the steak and eggs, which he said were cooked perfectly. Again, solid execution, but nothing that stood out. That said, the overall quality of the main courses was very good. Looking over the dinner menu, we are eager to come back in the evening. The real magic happened at dessert. We overheard a staff member mention that one of the women behind the counter makes many of the desserts herself, and she may be from Italy. Our server couldn't stop praising her crème brûlée and key lime tart, so we had to try both. The crème brûlée was smooth and flavorful, though a bit softer than I prefer. But the key lime tart? Absolutely phenomenal. My husband, a Tampa native and self-proclaimed key lime aficionado, broke his keto diet for it--and declared it one of the best he's ever had. I don't usually like key lime, but even I was impressed. Tangy, creamy, and perfectly balanced--it's a must-try if you're anywhere near Hudson. Service was friendly, and while there were a few small hiccups, the warmth and pride the staff take in their food really shines through. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and to get another slice of that unforgettable tart.
