We always love the cuisine at Hooked, its remarkably fresh and creative. Last night we were seated near a very, very loud table. Maybe there's something that can be done about that, but it took away from the wonderful ambience that we admire so often. We're "hooked."

We stayed on a fall Friday night. Our server was lovely and provided the perfect balance of attention. We had oysters on the half shell, the steak and halibut. All were delicious and nice portions. The wine list was sufficiently varied and the glass of Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay at $14 a glass was a great pour and value. Sometimes hotel restaurants fall short, but not here. We enjoyed our meal.

Went for buck a chuck Tuesday during oyster month. Delicious, fresh and amazing value. Server was great, attentive and quick. Also split the firecracker roll and seafood tower with the lady and everything was so good. Will be visiting again.

Excellent dinner and service. I am so sorry our servers name has escaped me. He was excellent and made our dining experience a pleasure. I keep coming back, for years now. Thank you for doing it with expertise! Sheryl

    The food on the Verandah is delicious and you are surrounded by such beauty and not least of which the beautiful sparkling ocean. Unfortunately Ken, the Manager, was off on this our last night. We missed seeing him and Kanesha who is an excellent server. We look forward to a return visit hopefully towards the end of the year
