Everything was unique and DELICIOUS! Our standout favorite was the dumplings appetizer. I got the shrimp and grits and my husband had the Pekin Duck. Yum Yum!!

This was our first time and Miguel, the manager and Chris, our server, took fantastic care of us! We ate on the terrace with the heaters and it was perfect on a brisk night. The restaurant has a really fun vibe but best of all the food was delicious especially the swordfish special! We were pleased there were so many gluten-free options. We will definitely be back.

Glad you put the LARGE PANCAKES back on the menu. My experience at M&H is always a good one as your servers and all that work there are very pleasant and willing to assist one that. is elderly.

Got there a few minutes late for our reservation and they were very accommodating about getting us seated quickly. Delish food, hip vibe, and terrific service by Jose G. A great place to get a meal before (or after) a show at the Anthem, so we'll be back!

First time at this restaurant. I found the experience to be nice and relaxing. The service was good, and my meal, Cajun Pasta, was very tasty and well plated. The restaurant is a chain, and this location is in a strip mall, so there's plenty of parking.
