I have never been more embarrassed than I was last night. The meal was great and so was the service. BUT, our drink wasn't finished and we were asked to leave so another customer could have the table. It was valentine's day and not even a chocolate. With another couple and the bill came to $300.00. I have never been treated like that before.
I'd heard about this place from several people I knew, but it was never a place that interested me. I think a big part of that was the location, in that silly little mall/office building.
We went there to celebrate my fathers birthday, and my first impression was that it was nice, but a little dark. In fact my mother had to step out into the "mall" area just to read her menu.
I ordered the shepherds pie (it was the cheapest on the menu and I'm not a big meat eater), as did my boyfriend. My mom ordered the chicken fried steak and my dad had the porterhouse. It took over an hour to get our food, the waitress claimed that the steak had to have some special magical way of cooking and that's why it took so long. The small of smoke and fire extinguisher told another story.
When our food arrived I thought "Really? That's it?". The portion seemed so small, and the side salad was laughable. However once I started eating I really enjoyed the meal, as did my family, and in the end I wasn't even able to finish it. Then we all got free desert, some sort of cheesecake thing that was pure awesomeness.
So in the end, we all really enjoyed our meals and would return again. Hopefully with a shorter wait though.
I have spent many lovely dinner hours at Hobart's with friends and family. It has been great place for lunch with "the girls"or a quiet anniversary dinner. The food has been super, steaks always done to order ,fresh veggies cooked just right and the dessert was enough for two to share. Special orders have never been a problem for the kitchen. Planning on a family dinner next weekend!
Just went in for drinks to catch up the latest news with an old friend. I hadn't been in since the extensive renovations....slick, spotless, tasteful, and relaxed. I was most impressed with the linens, fine glassware, and great selection. Service was attentive, pleasant, and courteous.
Only one thing to complain about. After paying the bill in a discreet leatherette folder, the server asked "do you need change back?" This is an absolute no-no. One never assumes a tip.
Otherwise, a great place, and one that I'll certainly return to and recommend.
