it's my guilty pleasure! The food is so good! I sometimes just crave those burgers with potato chips or the soft boiled egg on top of my rice bowl. Everything is extremely tasty.
Excellent food and service. This is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall with four tables outside and maybe ten inside. You can also eat at the bar. Their mixed drinks are excellent and unusual. Our shared starter of tempura-fried vegetables was very tasty, but a bit on the greasy side. Two of us had the buttermilk fried chicken and one the halibut. All the mains were great. We shared one dessert, the doughnuts. Don't be put off by the name. Try it. Overall I would give Hopscotch five stars except I think it is overpriced. Three of us with drinks, a bottle of wine, one starter, one dessert and three mains racked up a bill of $270 with tip. That is very expensive for what and where it is.
Hopscotch is a tastefully laid out American Japanese fusion food affaire. Small restaurant with seating for maybe 30 inside, a few tables outside.
Our food was pretty stellar. Friend chicken, biscuits and gravy, country potatoes, all great. Drinks were good as well (gin fizz). We did have to wait over 30 minutes for our order to be retaken because our bartender forgot to put it in, so I have to detract a star for that; realistically, I don't see service being an issue at all normally.
Also a great selection of unique scotches which I can't wait to try next time. Be aware the prices are not cheap but the food portions are pretty generous. This place is worth a try, you won't regret it.
Simple, well - executed dishes with an excellent combination of flavors. We came here during 'restaurant week' and they had an odd menu combination where some things had to be ordered as a package deal, which was unnecessary. The waitress was great about explaining it and finding solutions though. Generally very good service. The restaurant itself is small and loud, which can be good or bad depending on what kind of night you are looking for. Felt a bit cramped but the food made up for it. Overall a good experience.
It is kind of a weird place. It is a want-to-be-fancy Japanese inspired food while looking like a diner. The food was good. It's unique. But I don't think I would go back. Fun to try once.
