    Hys is always a fantastic meal. The cheesebread is so addictive. Open flame steak gives a perfect char. What made this night was the service. Our server was Andrew and he was amazing. Not just a great server, his recommendations for drinks/food were perfect. I've been to Hys a bunch of times but Andrew made this special.

    The ambience inside is so nice and they have such beautiful decorations. Unfortunately we were seated in the side patio, which was heated and also comfortable, but we actually made a reservation for inside. The food was amazing and there was so much to choose for! Service was also super nice! I would definitely recommend it:)
