The focaccia was light, slightly salty and delicious with the bright olive oil and balsamic dipping sauce. Wait staff were attentive without being obsequious. The room became a bit noisy as more dinners arrived, which hastened our departure. High marks over all. We will recommend Haymaker and look forward to returning for another meal.

We entered as others exited and we inquired about our reservation we were told it would be about an hour. When we reiterated we had a reservation we were seated. It was a really awkward and uncomfortable exchange with someone presumably the manager. Before dinner we were presented a complimentary appetizer as a means of apologizing for the odd interaction earlier. Ok, well played. Food was disappointing. Steak was a terrible cut and was served cold. It is served with butter that didn’t melt and a bearnaise that was pasty. We were offered an additional complimentary glass of wine. Thank you, but the overall experience was disappointing. Sadly, our last experience was similar. I want to like this place, but they’ve lost me.

We felt as if we were the only ones in the place and he took the time to select wine and drink pairings with each course. Well done sir!
