   We had a large table next to us in the bar. It had about 15-16 middle aged patrons. They were nice people, but loud! It was no one's fault, but they were loud and irritating. My wife & I could hardly talk to each other in a booth. The food, as usual was good. The waitress had both the table for 16, plus us and at least another table. The poor thing did the best she could given all the people she had to attend to.

   I am hoping to be getting some items done over the next year or so. Unfortunately, for the color scheme, its a work in progress. I did paint the restaurant myself, however had to stay within a color palate. All the light fixtures have been replaced over the past few years of me being here and we are hoping for some additional upgrades to flooring and some work on the patio in the near future. I appreciate you always leaving your feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon. Jacob

   Dinner with my wife, daughter, and a granddaughter. This particular grandaughter has very acute Celiac disease. Your kitchen and mgrs know my grandaughter due to her condition and always go out of way meet her needs. She’s 10yo. One of the reasons we’re “frequent flyers” at Houlihan’s Westlake are thing like this. Your kitchen is also VERY good on handling Gluten free issues. Most places aren’t. They don’t understand the issues or process to do it correctly. So HATS OFF 👏🏻 to tour restaurant.

   We had the corned beef cabbage dinner and it was delicious! Tasted homemade. We had a reservation and were seated immediately, the 5.00 Jameson shot was a treat! Happy St Patrick’s Day! Our server told us the chef made extra for them to take home to their families, very heartwarming!

   Environment was not great and restaurant was pretty outdated. Service was slow. However, food was very good!

   Absolutely horrible . The best thing about this place was the adorable sweet hostesses! The outside appeal was horrible so that should’ve told us all we needed to know. We experienced a long wait time at a restaurant before hand and this restaurant popped up nearby so we decided to take the reservation on OpenTable for nine at 7:30. Once we arrived, they did not indeed have a table available for us upon arrival so we had to wait a little over a half hour for another party to finish up before we could be seated. The indoor decor is literally horrible. I can’t even explain the very outdated and lime, green and orange walls. We were told we were gonna be seated in a private room with a fireplace when we got there it was literally the smallest room with an ancient electric fireplace hanging on the wall… we all started to laugh. The table was so wobbly we had to tear apart our coasters and play some underneath. We finally ordered drinks and my margarita tasted like strawberry syrup so I did not get another one. My old fashion was because they use those huge ice cubes and typical sugar cube like they typically use ! We proceeded to order appetizers we ordered the fried cheese and spicy avocado rolls and they were horrible lol the fried cheese wasn’t that bad but the dips to go with them were horrible and the spicy avocados were disgusting because the guacamole inside was hot so if you can imagine, warm, guacamole… So we didn’t eat those i’ll ordered our meals and long story short everybody’s meals for pretty bad. Our kids ordered chicken tenders and they came out and they were ginormous… My friend steak was literally the size of a puck resembled one also because it was overcooked… I’m just gonna say it was an awful experience and we will absolutely never be back and I don’t know how it’s open….

    I had an amazing dining experience at Houlihan’s! I ordered the fish and chips, and it was absolutely perfect—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. But what truly made our visit special was our waitress, Luz. She was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her exceptional service added to an already great meal. I highly recommend Houlihan’s and will definitely be back. Five stars all the way!
