The service was "average" at best. I liked the cheese bread (but it wasn't anything spectacular). I thought the garlic steak was good...and it was cooked the way I ordered it. I liked that the garlic was subtle enough so that it didn't leave you feeling like you needed to eat a pack of mints.

First, I gotta say that Hy's has by far the best steak on island.

Yet, what it has in steaks, it seriously lacks in other aspects. To begin the night, the 2 valets sat at their podium while I sat waiting in front of the restaurant. For a restaurant that only allows you to valet... talk about service. Not to mention, when it was indicated that I wasn't waiting for Christmas, they continued to stare at their laptop.

(Why they have a laptop is beyond me. Valets and laptops? And they were searching for crap in Google.)

Overall, the food was excellent. As usual. I'm not sure if it's 50 bucks excellent, but still good nonetheless. Though, the banana foster's wasn't as good as the last time I ate it. Just wasn't caramelized enough, and not worth the 13 bucks a person especially for its quality. After dinner, a waiter proceeded to spill water all over the back of my chair and shirt. I'm assuming that he didn't realize he dropped almost half a glass on me, but as a former waiter, I don't know how you miss that either, especially when it's a dead night. What can I say, great service.

So with all that said, as much as I love their food, I probably won't be going back there anytime soon.
