10. On the Hook

Reviewed By Lee B
After reading the recent reviews for "On The Hook" it's almost like we dined at a different restaurant. We found the service at best, inadequate. An excessive amount of time passed before our first entree was served (Jambalaya), another 10 minutes passed before our second entree (Cajun Catfish) arrived. Both entrees were served with no silverware. Having said that, both the Jambalaya and Cajun Catfish were quite good.

Showed up around 2pm so the restaurant was not crowded. Asked the waitress for a recommendation since I had never been before. She recommended the Korean Beef Bulgogi pizza. It was spicy and GREAT. Was the perfect blend of eating beef bulgogi AND pizza. Pleasant atmosphere, nothing fancy. Great place for lunch.

Great service and great food. Was concered with such an huge menu the food quality would be average but was pleasantly surprised how good and delicious everything was. Ordered the fried chicken sandwhich and it was cooked to perfection, the chicken was nice and moist it was great, only complaint it started to fall apart when eating it. Also sampled the desert trio but unfortunately when ordering we were not advise one of the deserts wasn't available so when it was delivered to the table we had dark chocolate cake twice and the peach apple cobbler once without asking which we would prefer.

Came here for dinner with a friend. I ordered the beef ribs and my friend had the tri-tip.My friend said her trip-tip was very good and would order it again. My ribs however were a disappointment. There was very little meat on them. Of the five ribs I got, only one was what I would call passable. We did like the sides however - braised greens, mac & cheese, bbq beans. We had a nightcap at the bar before we left. When it comes to bourbon and rye whiskey, they have a better than average selection. They even offer flights of whiskey.

We had the lobster cappuaccino (variation of lobster bisque), short ribs and the coconut cake. The food was good overall, though the short ribs were a bit too salty and needed another minute in the pressure cooker. The lobster bisque was very rich and almost too rich. The coconut cake was very moist. Ambiance is nice though a bit dark for lunch.

Every once in a while, Taps does a special dinner paired with wine. This time around it was paired with Scotch and Whiskey! This was a 3 course meal paired with a wide palette for Scotch & Whiskey drinkers: from mild (Suntory Scotch) to a heavy mossy Laphroaig for the 2nd course and Jim Beam, Black Extra Aged for the final course.Approximately, 70 people joined the occasion, held out in the patio area, may have not been the best location, since the patio is next to Imperial Highway and with evening traffic, the hearing competition was at it's highest. The Chef has a culinary series, a farm vineyard to table specials and this one was Interesting: 1- Tempura Squash Blossom paired with Japanese Scotch. 2-House Cured Skuna Bay Salmon paired with Laphroaig Scotch. And lastly, Bourbon marinated Duck Breast with the Jim Beam Whiskey. All 3 pairing were very good. Price fixe dinner was $69 each. Not Bad! But, it did not include dessert nor coffee, which in my mind should have been. The allocation of Scotch & Whiskey was to say, minimal. So, as compared to Wine, I would like to have a little more offerings to savory the taste of scotch with the meal. All in all, it was a nice evening, joined by John, my Father-in-law and my Son, Noah. And Cheers to Noah, on to the Wharton MBA program.Cheers to Noah, indeed! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and enjoying our World of Whisky 3 course dinner, along with your son, father-in-law and John. We do have these events often, so your feedback is definitely helpful in making sure we provide you with an even better experience the next time. Thank you again, we hope to enjoy a return visit from you in the future.

This has to be the best new restaurant Iâve been to in a long time. Lots of menu options that cater from vegan to meat options as well! They even have the impossible patty, that I now like better than real meat! The chia pudding is also to die for! Must try this place.
