    We went to Knolls last Friday for Happy Hour and it was fantastic, great selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices, and great service. Not busy at all. I posted their pokey stack and sliders.

    9/28/2024 Great spot. We stopped by this evening and sat at the bar as the class of 84 was having a party. Enrique was our bartender and server. We stated with chicken wings which were very good. The band was fantastic with an awesome sax player. My wife had the boom boom shrimp and I had the chicken linguine. Both dishes were excellent. We heard the news that Vee sold the restaurant and I am sure this place will continue to flourish. Good peeps, good service and good food. Highly recommended 1/12/24 Had a great time at Knolls tonight. The ambiance was perfect and the band fantastic. Garrett is our favorite server and bartender and was amazing. The lovely owner, Beata, stopped by a was very welcoming and kind as well. Such an amazing ace and the drinks, food, and service are top shelf. The dance floot.has been expanded and the band area as well. We both had the orange salmon and several drinks and joined our friends their as well for a wonderful evening. Garrett is a true professional and made the evening that much better. Highly recommended. 5/28/2023 Another terrific evening at Knolls. We were seated by Garrett who also served us with the help of Roque. The boom boom shrimp appetizer was quite tasty. The drinks were fantastic as was the music by Eric Torreo. We had several drinks and each had an entree as well. We also danced a bit and truly enjoyed the overall dining experience. Good times. Knolls has music entertainment on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Recommended. 5/6/2023 Had a terrific time this evening at Knolls celebrating my wife's birthday with friends. The staff is always amazing and the food is very good as well. Luis was our server as we requested him as he is very attentive, remembers his guests' drinks, likes and dislikes, and makes the evening special every time. The band was quite good and played a variety of quality tunes. A great hidden gem. The bartenders are also seasoned and experienced and mix a mean cocktail. The calamari, salmon, and shrimp special and other food items were perfect. Luis planned a special dessert birthday dish for the entire party and made the evening that much better! Highly recommended and ask for Luis as he will truly take care of you! 7/9/22 Another wonderful evening at Knolls. This place is awesome. We went tonight and Jose was our amazing server..simply the best. We also met Enrique his brother who makes some awesome drinks...outstanding. We started with drinks and my wife had the apple martini and I have a few casamigos with club soda and 4 limes..so good. We also ordered the macaroni and cheese appetizer which was quite tasty. We had the honor of doing shots with Eric as it was his 34th birthday and he was running and enjoying the evening. We both had the Salmon entree which was fantastic. This place is truly a hidden gem and the music is always a plus. Top notch service, food and ambiance..we just love it. Thanks so much for always being consistent and stellar in service, food and ambiance! We highly recommend this amazing lil restaurant.

    Great neighborhood restaurant with an awesome bar. Live music on a Wednesday night!. Their margaritas are spot on and our favorite dish from the menu was the Hawaiian Poke, it comes with chips that are just perfectly crunchy and delicious. It has a patio with heaters and a fireplace.

    Decent food but too few servers. Good music though. Waited almost 20 minutes and no server appeared so we left and ate at the Mexican place next door. We have been here previously and actually received service

    The staff is nice, attentive. Tried the Calamari, Tuna Poke, And Seared Mahi. All are good. The live music is an added bonus. The place is packed on Friday.
