We had a wonderful dining experience at Hanna’s Restaurant & Bar, and everything from the atmosphere to the food and service exceeded expectations. The restaurant has a modern yet cozy ambiance that feels both upscale and relaxed, making it perfect for a family dinner or a night out with friends. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout the meal, and their recommendations were spot on.
We started with the tuna tartare, which was incredibly fresh and beautifully balanced with crispy wontons, edamame, and a flavorful sauce. The fried zucchini was another standout — perfectly crispy, topped generously with parmesan, and surprisingly addictive. The salad was fresh and light, while the pizza had that comforting classic American-style flavor with rich melted cheese and a soft crust.
The highlight of the night, though, was definitely the tomahawk steak. It was cooked perfectly, with a beautifully seared crust on the outside and tender, juicy meat inside. The flavor was rich, smoky, and incredibly satisfying. Paired with the roasted peppers and compound butter, it easily became one of the best steaks we’ve had in a long time. To finish, dessert was absolutely delicious — warm cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce, the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

How I wish I lived closer to this place! I would be there for their Happy Hour, lunch, and dinner. The mid-afternoon bar was filled with professionals taking an early break. They were having fun, but quietly. Had an upscale diner-like vibe.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff were very attentive. Thank you Ryan, you are an excellent server. And we got to meet Chef Franz, who not only came out and took the time to chat with us, but he also brought a bowl of their prime rib chili for us to try. Wow!
Nice variety of appetizers on the menu. Big selection of prime steaks, all ordered a la carte so you can add whatever sauce you like as well as add-ons (shrimp, lobster, sauteed mushrooms, and more). Seafood, chicken, and pastas are also on the menu
I was midday, so we split a hamburger and fries along with an order of the calamari fritti. It was not too early for wine of course.
Please note the extra touch when we requested lemon for our water. They brought several slices attached to the rim of a glass. Very classy!
Calamari Fritti herb crusted, spicy marinara, garlic basil aïoli, grana Padano, fried shishito peppers, pickled Fresnos. Nice and crunchy and the shishitos and Fresnos made for nice additions to the plate.
The Ultimate O.C. Cheeseburger wagyu patty, Tillamook cheddar, pickles, caramelized onions, avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato, house dressing, brioche bun + pomme fries. We split this and it was one big burger. Flavors were spot on and the fries were crispy and nicely spiced. Excellent.

I went here for a work dinner and it definitely lives up to the hype. The service is amazing and the staff is friendly and will take care of you. We got some appetizers and drinks to start. We all got different things to share. Then we had some dessert like the butter cake which is delicious.

First time here and I got the short rib stroganoff. It was delicious and filling. The service was very attentive and everyone was nice. Can’t wait to come back and try their steaks.

A bit noisy, but BOY, is the service outstanding and the food is terrific.
We started with the poke stack which was outstanding. Might have been nice to have a few extra taro chips with the fish. I had the Bolognese, she had one of the Bowls. Neither of us could finish, but we devoured the smashed potatoes, as well as the Butter Cake dessert!
Lots of entrees in the $20s, also lots over $50.
