Just ok 3/5/2006

I met some friends here for dinner and drinks on a very busy Saturday night. The first one to arrive put his name on the list. We waited an hour and 45 minutes for a table after we were told it was only 45 minutes. The waitress was not very attentive and rushed us in taking our order. After we got our food we didn't see her until it was time to get the check. I orderd the steak frites which had amazing flavor but my steak was lukewarm at best. The herbed butter on top wouldn't even melt! The frites were awesome though as was the chocolate tart. Everyone else enjoyed their food but felt they could get the same thing better elsewhere. The beer drinkers gave thumbs up to beer selection. I think I will try it again, maybe on a slower night?? Pros: atmoshpere, good beer, good value Cons: crowded, slow service more

I've dropped by the Hopleaf several times, and have been nothing but impressed. Fantastic service, great food, amazing beer selection, and perfect for hanging out with friends. Love it. Try the fries. Pros: Great food, beer selection, service more

Pretentious staff and patrons 11/14/2004

Last night I met a buddy for drinks at Hopleaf. While I appreciate the atmosphere the bar is trying to create, I think they jumped the shark. Each transaction with the bar staff was filled with contempt and an attempt at condescension. At one point the bartender had a 10 minute conversation with a barback while half of the bar waited for drinks. She also went so far as to take away an empty bottle without asking if it wanted to be replaced. I've worked in the service industry in the past, and know that if I acted the way the staff did, I would have been fired. Don't even get me started about some of the people around us. I now know where magnanimous jerks go to drink. Pros: Great beers more

Food is spectacular 11/12/2004

The Hopleaf has a great beer selection but I actually go for the food- they serve delicious little fried fish (smelts), and their ham sandwich is quite simply the best I've ever tasted. more

My favorite 6/6/2003

This is what a bar should be. Not a sports bar, not a meat market. Just good drinks, good conversation, and good people. more
