Reviews
The food has always been good, but the first time I went, there were limited vegetarian and gluten-free options, which made it a bit tough for my date. Since then, I’ve seen the menu evolve and expand. They’ve become much more accommodating, which I really appreciate. On one visit, they even brought out a lobster roll without the roll to meet our dietary needs.
The five stars here go to our incredible server, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dining experience. She checked in frequently, made adjustments wherever possible, and even comped our drinks to ensure we left happy. Truly outstanding service!
I’ve since gone back and tried their surf and turf special, and it was excellent and at a great price point too.
One thing to note: the bar area starts off quiet but can get very busy quickly, especially when there’s live music. Parking in the back lot can be a little tight, so it’s worth checking ahead to see what’s going on before you go.
Overall, Humbert House is definitely worth a visit. Great food, thoughtful menu updates and fantastic service!
Caesar salad- Typical Caesar salad. I like the fact they had the perfect amount of dressing
Tempura tiger shrimp- Nice size shrimps and the sauce on the side was really good. Had a slight kick to it
Wild mushroom gnocchi- The flavor of the sauce was really good. My only complaint is, it was way too much sauce and not enough mushrooms. My initial thought was I didn’t order clam chowder. Thats how much sauce there was
Wagyu sirloin- This was my biggest disappointment. For me, this steak was way too salty. Also, this particular cut tasted like strip steak.
Dessert- bread pudding and apple crisp were both delicious.
Our waiter was very nice, but incredibly inexperienced and lacked basic knowledge about the menu and bar. Nothing here was the waiter’s fault, and we advised him of such.
As someone else mentioned, the food and drinks price-wise are on par with NYC or Toronto, but are nowhere near the level of taste or quality. We got there on time for our 6:30 reservation, and finished at 8:30. It was not crowded.
I ordered the BLT salad to start, which was fine, but had more green olives (which are not mentioned on the menu) on it than bacon. For $17, you could get better value at Wendy’s. My friend did not get a starter, and we then waited over an hour after my salad for the entrees. There is no bread service.
After reading the reviews for this restaurant after our experience, we discovered that this is a Salvatore’s owned place, which makes the experience all the more surprising. A true Italian should know that you never leave whole cloves of garlic in your sauce. The bolognese was inedibly sweet, with at least 4 whole cloves of garlic in my dish alone. Dumping an entire cup of crushed red pepper on it only just made it tolerable. I rarely leave leftovers at a restaurant, but the sauce was just simply terrible. It was almost like the sauce was made with pure tomato paste, sugar and water. Well, and those garlic cloves. After our experience, I went back online and looked at the menu, and wondered if that bolognese was actually the week’s prior sausage arrabbiata dish but just with crumbled up sausage and put in the sauce. My friend likened the taste to Spaghetti-Os.
I appreciate that Italians will always think their own sauce is better than someone else’s so it can be subjective, but what my friend received was inexcusable.
Firstly, she ordered the twin filet and asked to sub the mushroom vegetable for another vegetable, which the waiter had to ask what vegetables they had. When he returned, he indicated that they could sub the mushrooms for broccoli in a cheese sauce. When her dinner arrived, not only were the two filets well done instead of medium well and completely burned on the outside, but the broccoli was not in a cheese sauce. It had simply been sprinkled with congealed shredded cheddar that looked like cheese whiz that had been put under a broiler. It tasted about as good as the above description. My friend did advise the waiter and her meal was taken off the bill, but most of the post-experience reviews seem to commiserate similarly with the steak dishes there.
They did offer a free dessert. The flourless chocolate cake was fine, but would not be worth the $15-17 I believe it was listed as. We ended up going somewhere else so my friend could eat something.
I think there is some promise here, but there are certainly many other restaurants in the area charging the same, or less, that are eons better. I recognize every restaurant has a bad night, but to stay relevant and on the radar, the quality here needs to improve or, at the very least, be consistent.
