How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Been here for brunch and dinner, and it is perfect all around! Fresh, delicious food every time and BEAUTIFUL. This place is beautiful inside as well and has quality cutlery, glasses and plates - the details make all the difference. Delicious drinks and dishes. I come here at least once a month!

My wife and I have been coming to Two Hands for about 18 months and it’s one of our favorite restaurants because of the combo of good service, good food and good vibes. Today Jen started off the experience with great communication and clarity (it was hoppin’). Jordan was our waiter and he always seemed to be one step ahead of us even though the place was packed! We enjoyed the lemon poppy seed waffle as an appetizer then Big Brekky & the BEK roll. Extra: try the beet it juice. So so good!! Overall, top notch people and good food.

We had a great time here! My wife got a margarita and the market fish. I got an old fashioned and the pasta with chicken. We also got the hummus appetizer. The food was outstanding. The drinks were good but nothing special. The service was prompt and transactional; no issues. The atmosphere was almost too quiet and could have benefited from some music (we came in at 5pm). We will definitely be back! $120 including tip for everything listed.

Dined at Two Hands with a reservation made for Monday night. We were seated quickly. Ordered Piri Piri Chicken, Salmon Bowl. Both were really tasty. The Brussell Sprouts we ordered for appetizers were also fresy made and crispy. Would definitely recommend
