It was just the right combination of creaminess mixed with flavorful additions of meat and spices. The salmon is worth the 5 star ratings alone. The sauce that covered the tender baby potatoes and green beans (but I think we were extra lucky and got asparagus) is a treasured recipe put this dish in the "out of this world" category! I told our server and later, DeMarius, I would be stealing it! Our experience with service, food, and atmosphere at Carlisles was up there with the best we've enjoyed!

But the overall vibe of the place is so cozy and intimate. We love it! We were able to sit at the bar and Hailey took such good care of us! She was attentive, friendly and made great cocktails! Started with a Smoked Pineapple Flan cocktail and a dirty martini. Both were delicious! Loved the martini glass. We each had a side Caesar salad to start. The lettuce was crisp and the dressing was perfect. Once again, we had the Old Chicago on Sicilian crust. One of these days I'm going to try the deep dish, I swear! But that Sicilian is just so dang good! It was perfection as usual. This was the first time we ordered dessert. I saw the Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée and KNEW I was going to order it. OMG, it was everything I wanted it to be. Perfection. Excellent experience - again. Thank you, Capone's!

Our server told us about the pomegranate margarita on special tonight, so that's what I had. Very refreshing and delicious! We also had the garlic battered cheese curds.

My husband had the Mac and cheese with fried honey garlic crispy chicken on top. I had the honey miso chicken. Both of our entrees were SO good! The quinoa that came with my chicken was so yummy and the sauce on my chicken was the perfect sweet and salty combo. I also tried my husband's meal and it was delicious as well. Our server was so friendly and made sure we were always doing okay. We will be back!

She was funny and friendly - even while running her bunsies for the rest of the bar. The restaurant was busy and we were surprised to find two seats at the bar. It was moderately loud, but not unbearable. We started with a cosmo and a raspberry lemonade martini - that was so good I had to order one of my own after I finished my cosmo! I had the Santa Fe Chicken Salad in a wrap. For only a dollar more you can get any salad as a wrap and it comes with chips! It was a great wrap and I was really happy with it. My Mr had the Perch dinner with fries and Cole slaw - one of his favs from Hobo's. He was happy with it as always. We will of course come back, this is a North Muskegon staple and we are big fans. I'm sorry I didn't take any pics!

That deserved its own review and I can't believe I didn't! Carinna is definitely a highlight. She is so friendly and personable. We started with an espresso martini and a dirty martini, both were SO good. For an appetizer we had the spinach artichoke dip. It's served with seasoned toast points and it's incredible. For our entrees he had the Sunday prime rib special, he added 4oz for a total of 12oz. It was served with 2 sides for $20!! He also had it blackened which gave it an amazing flavor! I had the side antipasto salad and loved it! I liked that I had the option to order a side size or entree size. That's an option work all their salads, I love it! We really like how low key Handsome Hobo's is. Hobo's next door is great too - but it's much louder. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it's nice to have things a little quieter. Everything here is great, highly recommend!!

I ordered an appetizer of a pound of Chicken Wings ($15) in their Sweet and spicy. It's a good thing they are served by pound rather than how many, because they are pigeon wings. That being said they were good. Nice and tender and very tasty. Not that spicy either. The main reason I came was I heard they have an excellent steak. So I ordered the 12 oz Big Ugly Steak ($36). It came out as two 6 oz strips. The steaks are aged to perfection. I really enjoyed this steak. I came in with high expectations and it was met. I got a house salad that was very fresh and also excellent. My other side was mashed potatoes and these did not disappoint either. The service was super friendly. The table still needed cleaning, so maybe slightly understaffed, but they cover really well. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely!
