Hook opened in The Rocks shortly after the fam and I moved here as well, and the 7 of us went for dinner pretty quickly. The 3 younger kids, who order chicken nuggets/strips/planks with absolutely alarming regularity--at Red Lobster, guess what they always get--were amazed at the size of the chicken segments, each of which looked to be about half a chicken boob! The fish selections were good, maybe 8 different kinds, and the rest of us ordered fish dinners. We had coupons (from the back of Giant Eagle receipts), and it cost us just over $60 for what was an incredible amount of food, which was great, since dinners out for our herd of 7 rarely go under $100. Hook uses a rather overpowering seasoning blend all over pretty much everything but the coleslaw, and they use it very liberally. None of us cared for it, so on subsequent visits, we told them to hold the seasoning. Their breading is quite unusual, I want to say mainly cornmeal, but I'm not certain. Well, the fish was good, although I removed most of the breading, which was really easy as it's kind of a crisp...shell around the fish. The also have wings, which appear to be a big seller for them. The highlight for me, however, was the breaded fried cauliflower, which is difficult to find in a restaurant any more. Be aware, this isn't a huge place, not many tables, although from what I've observed, they do a big takeout business. Parking is metered but cheap, and can be hard to get. Okay, so that's how it WAS. We hadn't been to Hook for quite some time, and last night it was just 3 of us and the 12-year-old wanted to go to Hook, so we went. They had had a small fountain drink machine, and they've taken that out, so one is stuck with bottled beverages. But the biggest change is the prices, which have increased HUGELY!! Also, gone are the Giant Eagle receipt coupons, so...remember the above-mentioned $60 price tag for 7 of us? Yeah, okay, $46 JUST FOR 3 OF US!! For this...financially challenged neighborhood, that's a lot of money, and frankly, for $15-plus a meal, I can think of a lot better places to go where they won't yell out the order to get me to the counter to get my own food!! And, with the large gap between our last visit and this one, I've realized that I really HATE the breading! So, here's the 7 of us, absolutely NOT "Hooked" any more! read more
