After lunch I was presented a bill for $11.00 for my Arnold Palmer (Tea and Lemonade) and my Bowl of soup. Can't be right I said to our server. Her answer , "you ordered the Deluxe Soup" which is $7.99 a bowl instead of the $5.49 shown on the menu for a bowl of soup. My answer, but you never told me there was a difference when I ordered.

Bottom line is the menu does say "Deluxe Soup" $7.99 but made no mention, nor did the server of what the Deluxe Soup was. Elected not to debate the point with the Manager as anyone who would allow such a devious practice is not worth wasting my time on.

By the way, the Italian Wedding Soup was kind of watery and not very good.
A $2.50 difference hardly makes for a rip off of major proportions and I would not call it a devious business practice. I agree that the waitress should/could have made clear the price difference in the soup choices. We eat at HH quite often and have found the food excellent and that includes the soups. We did have the Italian Wedding Soup on Tuesday and found it very good.
