My husband and I made reservations at Hannah's for our anniversary this past Saturday, and it was our first time dining there. From the moment we walked in until the end of our evening, the experience was absolutely exceptional. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and host, both of whom wished us a happy anniversary and immediately escorted us to our table. To our surprise, the table had been beautifully decorated with rose petals such a thoughtful and special touch that instantly set the tone for the evening. Our server, Adam, greeted us shortly after and walked us through the specials, again wishing us a happy anniversary. We ordered a special appetizer, the octopus, steak, fresh bread, and margaritas. Everything was incredibly delicious. The margaritas especially impressed me I'm not a big drinker and tend to be very picky about cocktails, but it was perfectly balanced and so enjoyable. Throughout our meal, we were checked on regularly, both by our server and by the owner, Phil. Adam went above and beyond to ensure our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. It was also wonderful to see Phil personally checking on guests, clearing plates, and staying actively involved in the dining room. It's rare to see an owner so hands-on and genuinely engaged with customers. We finished the evening with crème brûlée for dessert, which was absolutely amazing and such a generous surprise when it was gifted to us in celebration of our anniversary. The entire night felt thoughtful, personal, and memorable. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and an owner who truly cares. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend Hannah's for any special occasion. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! Vintage couch, an old phone booth, and antiques fill the space. Dark woods throughout, and gorgeous old tile floors. It's just breathtaking! The wait staff is outstanding! The perfect combination of being nice and helpful. Making sure I had all I needed for an enjoyable meal. The food is always the star. I had a chicken club sandwich - and it had elotes corn and thousand island dressing. It just mixed so well together! Always a pleasure eating here. read more

Service was just not it. Server was rude. Definitely not coming back here at all!! :(

Great food with a more formal but still casual atmosphere. Staff was very attentive and the chef came out to check how we liked our meals. Escargot was not as good as Paris, but some of the better that I've had in the states. The quail stuffed jalapeño poppers were really good too. I had the duck a l'orange and the cod chowder. Both were excellent! They have a private parking lot to the side which is great in the downtown area where it can be limited. Prices are higher but worth it for the quality and presentation. Definitely will be a return visit when I'm back in town. read more

I've been to Hannah's a few times for dinner and different events, and it's always a great experience. The menu has some nice, well-done dishes and it feels more upscale than what Denton used to offer. The ambiance is classy, definitely not a sweats kind of place. Service has been good, my water glass is always filled and the drinky- drinks are not only tasty but super cute. It's a perfect spot for any occasion you're celebrating or even generally for a nice meal. read more

Went for Sunday brunch and was BLOWN AWAY by the quiche! I was hesitant to order because of the price but it wound up being cartoonishly big and SO tasty (almost decadent). It was definitely worth the cost- I left happy and full. The restaurant itself is really nice with simple vibes and the staff was attentive. I definitely plan to return! read more

His recommendations are always exactly what we need! And he's funny (: I feel bad that I don't remember his name now lol- but anyways- food is DELICIOUS, and their drinks are definitely made to make you want more! read more

This is a very elegant restaurant. Before you even visit the place, please set a reservation because it gets busy during the weekends and parking is only reserved for the restaurant. People will be towed if you arent a guest and you park in their exclusive parking lot. The menu is very simple and the food is delicious! The burger with bacon mixed in the patty made me question its safety. Pork is supposed to be cooked to 165F and having a burger with bacon mixed in that's not well done (or cooked to 165F) could be a health risk since the server asked us how we wanted our burger cooked. Maybe yall can answer this question? Overall, besides food safety, my group and I had phenomenal food! Our server was patient and took her time to repeat our orders back to her. The cherry on top was the carrot cake which was incredible!! It's homemade. Not too sweet; absolute perfection! Overall, this is a good place to dine. read more

Absolutely perfect experience. Service was impeccable with just the right balance of attention without overstaying. We started with the bacon wrapped dates with shishito peppers that were crisp and packed with flavor without being too sweet. The mains were the smoked duck and goat cheese flatbread (crust was both crunchy and chewy as it should be and the duck was very tender) and the pork duo platter with pork belly and a tenderloin with creamed cabbage, pear puree and a wine reduction (fantastic!). Dessert was their flourless chocolate cake that was dense, rich, and reminiscent of dark chocolate fudge. Possibly the star of the meal as it was unlike any flourless cake I've had. Overall, I give our visit a 6 out of 5 stars! read more

I was in the area back in September and had a ton of time to kill and I just did a simple search of restaurants open near me. This one popped up amongst a few others, it didn't necessarily have the best reviews but I really was intrigued by the menu and photos. I made a reservation and went. I really didn't need a reservation for lunch, I was maybe one of 2 or 3 tables in the building. This place is located in the downtown area and has its own parking lot next to the building which is great. Walking in I reminded me of an older classy restaurant vibe near the bar. The host was very nice and seated me in the main dining room. My waitress was the sweetest, wish I would've gotten her name, she was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave decent recommendations. I love that they had Aqua Pana for water. I remember there was an item on the menu that initially peeked my interest, but when asking about it I was informed that particular item was a seasonal thing. Some of the items are seasonal. Love that but at the same time I was a tad bummed. I basically ordered enough food for like 4 people for myself. I had two large bags to bring home! Service was great here, food came out fairly fast, presentation was for the most part was pretty, portions were hefty and price point was decent on most items. My favorite items were the white bean hummus; the texture and taste combination with the almond, hummus and arugula was really nice. The truffle pomme frites were surprisingly excellent. Cooked to perfection, right amount of truffle and a ginormous portion. The key lime pie was really good. Last one of my favs was the bacon wrapped dates. I usually get these as my favorite steakhouse in Allen, so I couldn't pass these up. Only wish was that the dates were larger. So the next dish was the summer burrata. This was not bad but not great. Burrata has so much potential to be excellent and most places just do the normal heirloom tomatoes with basil, so of course I was intrigued with the ingredients. Personally it would've been way better if they just served it with the peaches or the watermelon; not both. It was a tad too busy and confusing with flavors eaten with both fruits. But apart it was really good. The ceviche was a bummer for me. The flavors didn't merry well and over all this was kinda bland. Beautiful presentation just not executed well with flavors for myself. Last was the bavette it was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was overall good but without the chimichurri the meat was bland. The Brussels were great, but the large amount of arugula placed as a side felt like an afterthought and wasn't listed on the menu description. Really wish I would've tried the salmon instead. But there's always next time. Overall my experience here was great and it was a nice little find in the area. read more

Hannah's Off The Square - Good waffle. - New American Near Me - Denton, Texas

My time at Hannah's wasn't terrible by any means, but for the "fancier" vibes that's often reported about them, I had high expectations. It's a larger restaurant with plenty of seating. Fresh flowers decorated every table. The music was at pleasant volume. They have a sizable and diverse menu, so you're bound to find something. My server was quick to greet me, give water, and take my drink order. I started with the soup du jour; a roasted lamb and duck soup. It didn't look very appetizing and tasted how it looked. It was very bland. Tasted more like a pot roast I made at home than lamb or duck. I ordered the grilled wagyu bavette steak as my entree with an order of grilled shrimp. To my dismay, there was a hair front and center on one of my shrimp. My waitress removed the shrimp and I was given three fresh grilled shrimp. The steak had good flavor and was cooked perfectly (medium rare). The chimichurri was delicious. The bed of Brussels sprouts was also yummy. The fries it came with were not good; they were cut extremely thick (about an inch) resulting in some undercooked fries. The entire meal was a good serving. I ordered the carrot cake for desert. It was good, but the cream cheese frosting was on the verge of being too sweet. It was a very moist cake though. This desert was comped (which I wasn't told when ordering) due to the hair on the shrimp. Overall I enjoyed my visit to Hannah's. 3 stars feels too low but 4 stars feels too high. The bland soup, undercooked fries, and hair on the shrimp tainted my first experience here. I would come back, but I'm not rushing it. read more

Really good food and great service. Love stopping by from a quick lunch or a date night dinner.

Let's start with the server. Morgan was outstanding. Would ask to sit in her section again. Super informative and friendly. Seemed to actually care for us. The food, brunch, was REALLY good. Had the bacon wrapped dates, jalapeño quiche, and the brioche french toast. All of it was great. Really glad our normal place was too busy. Because of that, we ended up here and will absolutely be back. read more

We went to Hannah's for my birthday for brunch. When we first arrived (no reservations for a Saturday brunch, we were greeted by a smiling hostess and asked for a square four-top table, to be able to sit next to each other in case it was too noisy and we could hear each other without yelling or having to raise our voices. The hostess took us to the back of the restaurant and put us in a rectangular booth. Before she left, we asked if we could be seated (again) at a square table. We were informed that all the squares were recovered and we could be seated in the bar. As we were taken to the bar, we noticed a high volume of the air-conditioning and heard no music. There was one couple at the bar and another couple seated at another four-top. Our server (the bartender) was wonderful, letting us know that an "On the House" birthday dessert was ready for us as we finished our meals. We started off sharing the Blue Oyster Mushroom appetizer. Magnificent! Lightly breaded with rice flour and fried and the mushrooms were oh so juicy. The two sauces which came with them, CHIPOTLE AIOLI & SWEET CHILE SAUCE, were perfect. Our entrees were the quiche and smoked salmon crepes. The quiche was the best I have ever had, but the crepes were not appropriate. I will only give high praise to the quiche, but must now write about the crepes, which were over-sauced (compare my picture below to their website's picture). The eggs inside of the crepes were rounded, which tells me that they were left over and reheated. The amount of the "Scottish Smoked Salmon" was hardly enough to be distinguishable. Again, look at my picture below and their online picture. The yellow color of the sauce I was served was day and night difference to the picture shown. Plus, there was so much of a sauce served on my order that I could not taste the egg in the crepe. There was no sign of a "smoked tomato" in the "bearnaise" sauce, nor could I taste any tarragon in the sauce, which is standard to all bearnaise. The entree was served flat, without any garnish, as shown in their menu picture. My complimentary dessert was a poached pear. I will not get into detail for this, however, I will say that it was served cold, I could not taste any distinctive flavor from what the pear was poached in and is was so hard that I had to use a steak knife to cut it. This was a hit and miss. We MAY go back for some other time, but it certainly will not be for the crepes or poached pear. read more

We went to the Easter Buffet $90 person, they even charged my 12 year old $90 for his meal as well. I will break it down from start to finish, the salad section which included coleslaw and a macaroni salad had to be the worst I have ever tasted in my life, absolutely no flavor how do you mess those two up! Let's proceed to the next table they had smoked Salmon, trout, and cocktail shrimp. I'm not a fan of the first two but love shrimp cocktail and will have to say it was great! The next table had grilled mixed vegetables that had an equal amount of basil in it that ruin your taste buds! The protein portion of the buffet destroyed the whole day the ham was way undercooked and the lamb you could not cut! The desserts were subpar for sure, rolls rolled and hard! We arrived at 11:00 and the had to wait 25 minutes for the buffet to even be ready ,also you had to pre pay for lunch I have never done this and I have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the United States! Then I also found out that soda and tea were not included in the price! I hate to do this and I don't comment much, but in my opinion and my family the worst meal we have ever eaten! They have lost my business forever! read more

I had a girls brunch today at Hannah's. I have been eating here for years and today was beyond unacceptable. First off, there were only 3 tables in the main dining room and still took over an hour to get our food. I ordered my eggs over medium, they arrived so hard and rubbery, they were inedible. The quiche says large on the menu, very small and tasteless. Our waitress barely checked in us. The prices are even higher now for less satisfying dining experience We used to love Hannah's. I don't know what happened. read more

We went for the first time and everything was top notch. We had reservations (busy football night) and were seated immediately. The hostess stepped away to check on our table and three other staff checked to see if we had been helped. The seasonal offerings included an osso bucco and cantaloupe risotto. I've eaten around the world and the standard plus seasonal menus are so creative here. Between the three of us we had the truffle parm fries (not stingy with the truffle oil), quail stuffed jalapeño poppers, tomato basil soup (dressed with shaved parm and olive oil), wagyu bavette, sirloin, and osso bucco with an extra side of the risotto. All the food was perfectly cooked and the service was attentive and friendly - kudos Nicholas! Dessert. Wow. Flourless chocolate cake, crème brûlée, poached pear with marscapone, and a honey espresso cake with salted dark chocolate frosting. Oh, and house-made pistachio ice cream. There's a reasonable wine and liquor list with house cocktails and mocktails (the blood orange spritz was a great mix of flavors). All in all this is a great restaurant and highly recommend it. read more

Loved the jazz music on a Saturday afternoon. Atmosphere is dimly lit and feels at once classy steakhouse and modern bistro. Please note that despite being "open" all day, they stop seating at 2:30 PM. Because of the limited menu at brunch we opted for tapas to share. Our waitress was very sweet, but delivered our smoked salmon sideboard without the dill cream cheese and with a rotten grape front and center. Clearly the kitchen is missing the mark and quality control required by waitstaff might need to be part of the training. She did apologize when she offered to box our leftovers and I asked to exclude the rotten produce. She replaced the grapes for my box to go. Burrata salad was perfectly dressed and delicious. Roasted vegetable flatbread was topped with an excess of leafy greens which were nicely dressed with a balsamic reduction, however the roasted vegetable and hummus toppings underneath were indeed flat- the dish was also lukewarm despite arriving last to the table. After reading so many positive reviews I was disappointed, but will try again one day in hopes it was an uncommon experience. read more

We celebrated our daughter's birthday at Hannah's this year. We had the bisque, the charcuterie, a couple drinks, smoked salmon, a steak, Chicken Saltimbocca, and the crème brûlée. Our favorite was the smoked salmon platter that had giant capers on it. Our server was friendly and did not rush us at all while we took our time eating. The restaurant is dimly lit which makes the ambiance quite cozy and intimate. This is a great spot for a special meal or a date night. read more

Ah, dear reader, let me set the scene for you--because this was no ordinary dinner; this was a full-blown gastronomic love letter, penned one luscious bite at a time at Hanna's off the Square in Denton, where the local charm flirts with culinary sophistication in a way that makes you want to brag to all your friends about your newly discovered secret. Picture this: I flew in, jet-lagged but heart aflutter, aiming to sweep my wife off her feet with a meal that spoke both of celebration and quiet wonder. We began with the Summer Burrata, an artful concoction that was less appetizer and more orchestral overture. The burrata itself, creamy and lush like the welcome hug you didn't know you needed, sat decorated with flambéed local Texas peaches--the kind of peaches kissed by sun and flame until they sing with sweetness and subtle char. Add to the mix fresh figs, crowned with a brûlée topping that crisped just right, waltzing alongside compressed watermelon perfumed with lime zest, peppery watercress, heirloom tomatoes in a teasing sweet chili sauce, and a sprinkle of pecorino cheese to round it all out. It was as if each ingredient was a performer on stage, taking its moment but never stealing the show. The main event unfolded with my wife's veal osso buco -- a dish that practically whispered "patience" in its tender braise, quivering in a rich, flavorful tomato sauce that felt like a warm Italian embrace. Creamy polenta offered a buttery soft landing spot, while roasted kohlrabi, pan-fried heirloom tomatoes, earthy beech mushrooms, and briny olives choreographed a harmony of textures. I, on the other hand, was all in on the American pistachio-crusted rack of lamb--a crust that cracked perfectly under my fork like a secret waiting to be told. Roasted potatoes, creamy Savoy cabbage, and buttered bok choy made their quiet but essential appearances, polishing off the plate with a patina of homey, satisfying goodness. Now, no meal worthy of its memories is complete without the curtain call: dessert. Poached pears nestled alongside amaretti and mascarpone, bathed in a caramel sauce so subtly sweet it spoke of European elegance rather than the brashness of sugar rushes. Not to be outdone, a pistachio lava cake oozed pistachio ice cream like liquid gold from the heart of its molten core. Two desserts daring each other to out-sweet the other, and, happily, both winning by a nose. The cherry--or shall we say pecan?--on top was Kyle, our waiter, a veritable triple threat of wit, warmth, and wisdom about every dish and wine pairing (which, by the way, I challenge you to find better). His presence elevated the evening from merely delightful to genuinely memorable--because good company, much like good food, is the secret ingredient you just can't fake. And then, the personal touch: the gracious owner and the executive chef stopped by our table, the kind of hospitality that doesn't feel rehearsed but spontaneous--a genuine inquiry into our experience that made the whole evening feel like a rare, shared secret. Here's the kicker: this beacon of exquisite food and heartwarming service has been quietly nestled in my wife's own hometown for 24 years, and yet, it took a flurry of airline miles and a weekend tryst for us to stumble upon it. A hidden gem if ever there was one, Hanna's off the Square is a balm for the soul and a celebration for the palate, and it has now earned a permanent place on our itinerary. So if you find yourself anywhere near Denton, do yourself a favor--skip the usual suspects, make your reservation at Hanna's, and prepare for an evening that is less about just eating and more about savoring the art of being together. Because some destinations aren't just places on a map; they're meals shared in a moment, forever remembered. read more

Lovely place and lovely staff. NOT lovely prices. At all. I understand it's Texas, and because I get it, I expect better from their butter drowned THIN $70 rib eye. COME ON PEOPLE! DelFrisco's chain can do better without killing the cow with excess butter. 14 ounces? Ok, got it. Thin and passed the butter point. Not good, just ok steak. Unfortunately. Shrimp and grits cake? Underwhelming. I did love the kale cesar, and anyone who knows me knows I have a hate-hate relationship with kale - but I did appreciate well "lightly dressed" salads. And the dates wrapped in bacon are definitely delicious sweet-salty treats. Bar 1/2 happy hour drinks AND the bartender are a GREAT pair. Overall, very professional and attentive staff, and an ok overpriced meal. read more

A few words are needed to help organize a fairly brief review, on the basis that when I last tried to eat at the location, it was under other management, as the short-lived Texican Tex-Mex restaurant, pre-COVID-19: From my sketchy memory, I recall that it was a very spacious patio area with connecting dining rooms, a relaxing space for intimate dining and special dates, a mere minutes walk from the downtown Denton square. It's time for a visit to see what, apart from the ownership, has changed! Happy dining, wherever you happen to be. Cheers, Mark F. read more

I was nearby for training and decided to try this place for a steak. Sat in the bar area, cocktails were great, as was the food. The truffle fries are amazing along with the meatballs as appetizers!

We visited Hannah's for the first time to celebrate Father's Day. The interior of the bar and dining room spaces is lovely, in a "rustic-elegant Texas" sort of way, and we enjoyed cocktails in the bar prior to dinner, which were EXCELLENT - including perhaps the best French 75 we've been served in North Texas. Food was lovely, as well - our salads were fresh and well-prepared, our mains were delicious, and the dessert was enjoyable as well. (Although Hannah's was out of their "signature carrot cake" the evening we dined, which was a big disappointment since this was the one dessert that Dad had his heart set on for Father's Day...) Anyhow, the food was great and the environment was very pleasant - but we're deducting two stars for the PRICES! This place is EX-PEN-SIVE, so be prepared to shell out a pretty penny for your drinks and dinner!!! $16 for a salad, $32 for a lamb burger, $65 for a shortrib entree, etc. We truly enjoyed all the food we tasted, and we think everything was prepared very well, but we simply can't afford to dine at Hannah's on a regular basis, given the price point of this restaurant. Maybe we'll try Hannah's again in the future for another special occasion if we're feeling particularly "rich" - but if we do, it better come with a guarantee of carrot cake... ;-) read more

Stopped in to Hannah's for an early dinner. I decided to sit on the patio which was so cute. I immediately ordered this French red wine (a blend) that was divine. Next, I ordered the fried green tomatoes and the wedge salad. A very simple meal but oh so good. The meal on the tomatoes were very crispy and good. They are served on a bed of arugula and bits of corn and onion. The wedge salad was one of the best I've had. I've developed a taste for blue cheese and this dressing was so good and had chunks of the cheese. It tasted homemade. The bacon also had a different taste - as if they added something sweet to it. All I know is the flavor combos with this salad were great! Can't wait to check this place out again. I love a great wine bar and this one is a hidden treasure in Denton! read more

I dined at this lovely restaurant on a Saturday night recently, and couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. Both the food and the service were excellent. But, I must rave about their "above and beyond" efforts to return some sunglasses I accidentally left at the restaurant. I live in Houston, so it involved a trip to the post office and much effort. The sunglasses were brand new and a special gift, so I was so very grateful and appreciative of their kind willingness to return them to me. Hannah's will be my number one restaurant anytime I am in Denton! They deserve 5 stars!! read more
