    What a lovely, quiet, unrushed lunch my friend and I had at "The Hornet"!! I had not been there in YEARS, having moved away from a close-by neighborhood, and I was thrilled. The MENU was extensive and varied; the food was fabulous; our table was spaced so that no one felt crunched into another table's conversation or occupants; our waitress, Abby, was very friendly and helpful; the entire atmosphere was conducive to having a great dining experience! Seriously. Re-visit "The Hornet" if you haven't been there in a while. GREAT!!

    An incredible experience! Our server, Steven, was exceptionally kind and attentive. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond by giving her a heartfelt birthday card signed by the team—a truly personal touch unlike anything I’ve experienced at a restaurant. The octopus, filet mignon, and Caesar salad were all flawless, easily a 10/10. And the cookies for dessert? The perfect finishing touch!
