    Coconut Crusted Shrimp

    We really liked the aesthetic and vibe to this restaurant. A good place to bring a date. The food was very solid . I was also slightly confused by the menu because it didn't match their website so we improvised when it was time to order.

    "WH Chopped Salad"

    Whenever I order this salad to-go or on DoorDash, it's consistently wrong and missing key ingredients and only given half as much lettuce as I would've received in person. I feel as though they're taking advantage of customers. It literally looks like they gave me half the salad.

    My husband and I enjoyed a nice dinner here for our anniversary. First of all, the service is top notch as our waitress Elizabeth was super accommodating with all my questions about what dishes could be made gluten-free for my gluten sensitivity. The restaurant always seems bustling, warm and inviting. I recommend getting a reservation ahead of time to secure a table. The food itself was delicious. We had the ahi carpaccio to start along with a couple of their amazing cocktails. For dinner we brought our own wine (they don't charge corkage fee for the first bottle). We both ordered steaks- I ordered the blackberry glazed filet mignon and my husband had the ginger ponzu ribeye. Both came perfectly medium rare. Our waitress checked on our frequently making sure everything we arrived as ordered. The brussel sprouts we ordered as a side were also delicious. For dessert the restaurant brought us a crème brûlée with "Happy Anniversary " written on it, which we found was a very nice touch in an already great meal. We will definitely be back again for more special occasion dinners.

    Pile of gristle laden bites - I gave up after 50%. I tried, I really did.  I kept hoping it would get better the more I got into it.

    This is not the W&H that I remember from a few years ago. The quality of their beef is terrible. I suspect they are now serving "choice" steaks instead of "prime" cuts. My steak was full of gristle. And it wasn't a one time occurrence - my wife & I both ordered the 18 oz ribeye - medium rare. Both steaks were gristly, but mine was terrible - see picture. $65 X 2 for this crap? The temperature was a little undercooked, but that did not affect the poor quality of the cut of beef. The manager comp'd our (2) $14 salads, but that did not make up for inedible steaks. The brussel sprouts were great. But the steaks SUCKED. Our dogs enjoyed the left overs - a fitting end to what could have been a great anniversary celebration.

    We had received mixed reviews about WH in MH, but wanted to judge for ourselves. And we were very pleased! Service was great--offered drinks and appys then given just the right amount of time to enjoy. Our order was placed, and food came in a timely manner. Our server was relatively new, she explained, but did a great job. We are an outdoor table on a pleasant evening--well shaded and very nice. So happy to try for ourselves and say we had a great dinner!

    As soon as we walked in, I knew it was the right choice to celebrate a birthday on a Monday afternoon. Everyone here was all smiles. The bartender was outstanding! Give her a raise lol. My loaded potato was loaded, ha! I enjoyed every bite I took of bacon, cheese, and sour cream. It was delicious. There were two other people at the bar and we got the party started and sang happy birthday. I love the happy vibes we got from everyone here. In addition to our wonderful meal and service, they brought us a special birthday dessert. How awesome are they?! They also have a live DJ every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6:30-9:30 PM.

    Came in to catch the Monday night football game and sat at the bar and was able to secure a seat. Fair warning and I'm being critical here, the TVs are a little high when sitting at the bar, but it's the only place they can put them so that's not on them. Perhaps sit at the bigger table in the back so you don't get a kink neck :). Ordered the bone-in ribeye which was fantastic and good perfectly! I did add the peppercorn sauce which was okay, would probably give it a pass as the meat is good on its own with just salt. Service was a tad slow as it was fairly busy, but being at the bar and limited seats would still expect a little faster.

    Went with a group to celebrate galentines day. Keep in mind we went on a Wednesday evening and the place was pretty dead. Our party didn't feel tended to. Wait staff was checking up on everyone around us, but somehow we were overlooked constantly. That was a bit irritating. However, I will say staff was nice when we were checked on. I ordered a steak burger and fries. The burger was delicious. However the fries were cold and undercooked. The large cut fries is a great concept, but they need to be cooked more thoroughly. I'm hoping it was just an off night.

    Always great steaks. Reserved a table for 5 people, and we're welcomed in and seated quickly. Waiter had water on the table in 3 mins, so fast and efficient. They had a DJ spinning some tracks during our time there, not too loud just enough to add ambiance. And the steaks... always great here, can't go wrong as far as steaks go!

    Crab cake
    Jessica K.

    Went with my Dad. It was my first time here, and I called ahead of time and they said the first bottle is a free cork fee so I was immediately down to try this place. We sat outside, as it was a nice day that day. One guy came a couple times in the beginning and made sure we were ok and our actual waiter seemed to take 45 min or so to get us menus. I wasn't sure if it was because my dad and I were talking so much, but I knew if we didn't get a menu soon he could keep talking forever We ordered a couple cocktails and an app to start and those were great! One spicy margarita type and the sidecar, and crab cakes, all three were fabulous. My dad and I always do this thing for food where we order two entrees and split them. They were able to split the salad with a salmon filet, but unfortunately not the ribeye. The salad was a good portion for the half size. I probably wouldn't get the salmon again though, not much sauce or seasoning and a little too fishy for me personally. The steak was alright, a little pricey for it being sub par. We asked for medium rare and I didn't see any pink. The onion glaze was ok not bad. While eating it my dad and I both agreed we would've rather paid the extra $15 and gotten the steak elsewhere. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't great, and I would've given the place at least a 4 if it wasn't for the service being slow on bringing us a menu and checking up on us and tbh the restroom wasn't the best looking, I had to move through a couple stalls before choosing

    Spicy drink
    kate s.

    Over all I would return! Our hors d'oeuvres were the Filo wrapped brie and the jalapeño cornbread. The cheese is a definite no the cornbread was absolutely delicious. .Had an amazing filet mignon and we also got the glaze filet, both were extremely tasty. Our server was pretty mediocre, forgot mushrooms, and blue cheese made no apologies. Other than the forgotten things, she was subpar for a finer dining steakhouse. Would return for the filet mignon! Our drinks were good in general. It was a nice room but it's hot inside they keep the doors open. With all that said I enjoyed my evening.

We drove almost 3 hours to visit while spending the day in the area, and honestly, we would've rather grabbed fast food instead. What made it worse was that we were hoping to treat our mom to a nice meal, but all of us ended up disliking the food. The appetizer plates we were first given were visibly dirty, so we had to ask for clean replacements right away. A few people in our group ordered the loaded clam chowder since we'd seen so many positive reviews online, but it was extremely underwhelming. The seafood tasted undercooked and the soup itself had barely any flavor. The wait time was also frustrating. We received appetizers fairly quickly, but waited almost an hour and a half for our entrees. During that time, staff kept coming by offering extra bread and refills we didn't ask for, which honestly felt more like an attempt to make up for the long delay. Meanwhile, several larger parties that arrived after us were served their meals before we were, even though our group was only 5 people. What also made the experience uncomfortable was that once our food finally arrived, we felt rushed to leave. After waiting, staff were already trying to clear plates while some of us were still eating, which felt unfair considering the delay was completely out of our control. By the time the food finally arrived, the quality just did not justify the wait. Overall, it was a very disappointing Mother's Day experience, especially after driving so far. Sadly, we won't be returning.

I grabbed the first booth I encountered and was brought water and menu right away. The waitress took my order of a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings ($16.50). A few minutes later the onion rings of my dreams (super crispy on the outside and a real onion rings inside with enough crunch left that you can bite through without dragging a soggy onion out of its outer shell, so each mouthful is both onion and crunchy coating) arrived and a sandwich with crispy (not soggy, underdone) bacon, hefty burger patty (done just how I like them with carmelized edges and perfectly done thick center) with cheese, pickles, red onions, lettuce and mayo. I asked them to leave off the tomato due to my food allergies. The bun was soft but held up well to the heft of the sandwich. The decor was classic 60's style diner. While the seats were well padded and the covering looked practically new, some of the tables showed the wear of the years on the corners. There is also a short lunch counter next to the kitchen.

Pastry chef Manon is amazingly talented with a wide variety of crave worthy cakes and decadent ice creams & sorbets. (Dec 2022 update: sadly it looks chef manon is moving on; Cordevalle is advertising for a new pastry chef.) French Baguette: some like is soft but I ask for it seared crusty. The aged prosciutto is real Parma and outstanding. Tuna Tartare: a classic and deservedly so. The sweetness of the soy and the spice of the chiles accentuate the tuna. Butternut squash soup: light and delicate and not too creamy. Good crunch from sunflower seeds. So good I got this again. Short Rib: menu says domestic wagyu which might be overkill for slow cooking. Regardless it's very tender. The polenta is a little too cheesy for me. Gnocchi & Truffles: it hasn't been on the menu recently but I beg you to order it if you see it. No description needed - just eat it. Thanksgiving turkey: cooked sous vide which keeps the breast meat moist and tender. The dark meat was shredded and nicely seasoned. Cranberry: listed as cranberry and cinnamon compote. Tastes like it has orange in it as well. I had to taste it 4 or 5 times to make sure. And take some home... Pumpkin pie: holy pumpkin Batman! I'm not obsessed with pumpkin like some are but this was easily the best I've ever had. Outstanding doesn't do it Justice. Pecan pie: with maple and bourbon! Yes this is sweet as pecan pie should be but not cloyingly sugary. The torched marshmallow on top kicks it up another notch. The bar tender makes an excellent Manhattan.
