   Potato soup was very good, but my wife had the onion soup which was salty. The appetizer was good we shared the prime rib egg rolls with horseradish sauce, but the cheese dip was lousy.

   Went for dinner with a friend to celebrate her bday. Waitress Sabrina was very sweet and thoughtful. They have a few new items on menu. I ordered the creole orrichete pasta dish was good a bit too oily for me but had a good kick to it nothing too spicy. Chicken to shrimp ratio good. If u sign up for their rewards points u get either an entree or dessert free on bday. Cheesecake was a bit too sweet for me. Manager came around to check in. Overall would recommend for a night out. Bar area was hopping.

   Always great. A few people commented about a couple who sat at the bar with a child.

   All good. Great place. One issue yesterday was that large birthday crowd was standing between the bar and the hi-top tables. The servers couldn't get through with trays They were brushing against friends of ours who are also regulars at Houlihan's and who were eating dinner. They decided to take their meals to go and they left. Suggestion, with groups like that gathering for drinks with gifts, perhaps the management can offer them an area in the dining room and maybe give a small break like $10 off the check if they agree to move.

   Sat us at a table by the kitchen. Not very romantic for a Valentines dinner. Service was very fast. Waitress was very sweet and efficient.

   We always love sitting at the bar at Houlihan's. We're there 2 or 3 times every week. Now it's so nicely decorated with hearts for Valentine's Day. That's a perfect reminder for us and we will certainly be there on Friday 2/14. Great, fun place with delicious food.

    Again, this neighborhood gem didn’t disappoint! The chicken tortilla soup was delicious as were the Shrooms! One guest had the full rack of spare ribs! Enough for two meals and “fall off the bone “ delicious . Two other guests had burgers - they were very happy with their choice . I had meatloaf - it was over-the-top wonderful! Our server was attentive and friendly- and ,as usual, the manager Alfredo stopped by our table several times to make sure we were not in need of anything. A perfect dinner and Saturday night out!
