I visited HUB before a concert at the Rialto Theater for dinner and drinks with my wife. This is a great and close location for such activities.
We arrived at the restaurant and were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was full, but the bar was empty and was open seating! I love bars with open seating! (We are married, so I don't have to look into her eyes at dinner! ).
My wife had the sangria and I had one of the many draft beers. While looking at the extensive liquor selection, I saw that they offer some great and hard to find bourbons, such as Blanton's, Weller, and EHTaylor. Oh, could I have spent more time here having some of them.
We were served by the bartender, who did an amazing job filling our drinks and taking our order. She was friendly and attentive.
For dinner, my wife had the chicken with Mac and cheese, and I had the smoked pastrami Ruben. I don't know how the Mac and cheese tasted, because my wife ate the entire portion without my usual taste for review! .
The smoked pastrami ruben was absolutely excellent. I have never thought about smoking pastrami, however, this visit, I definitely will give it a try on my smoker. It was delicious!
The menu is fairly simple and focuses on sandwiches, salads, and basic entrees. I love it when restaurants have a smaller menu, but does those menu items masterfully.
If you are going to an event at the Rialto or the Fox theater, this is a great place to stop before walking to the venue.
Some have asked on my reviews, "why four stars?" Well, the barstools were not that comfortable. It could just be me. This restaurant is a must try if in the area.
