Great date night location food and service are just right

It was a rainy night. We were met at the door by several members of staff, who handled everyone's coats and hats efficiently. This staff is excellent on every visit, and tonight was no exception. Do you avoid dining out on Valentine's day or near the 14th? Are the restuarants generally overburdened? Forget about that and dine at the Hobbit. Their routine for Valentine's day, while offering a slightly different menu, remains the same. They are not overwhelmed, because they only handle as many people as will attend one seating. The experience is preceded by a cocktail hour - then to table at 7 p.m. An amuse bouche of "three perfect bites", which are accompanied by a complimentary glass of champagne. The opening this time was a Hamachi crudo, that was plated perfectly, and delivered a wonderful amalgam of green apple, cucumber, tangerine and a tarragon oil opening. The second course, a crepe a la duck confit, worried my partner who does not favor duck. She loved the crepe and the duck confit! Very smooth and subtle. My filet with a bone marrow bordelaise was perfect, rare, as I love good beef. We accompanied our meal with an excellent 2005 Bordeau from Pauillac purchased from the well stocked wine cellar. The service was impeccable, and the entire serving staff assisted at one time or another to insure prompt service without hovering. I have been here many times, and you cannot go wrong dining at the Hobbit on any occasion.

Went for a birthday. Atmosphere and service were great. Decor is fun. Great place if you love whiskey.. Good southern style food, but can be too flavorful or rich if your not used to it.

I had been to the original location years ago. It is consistent with great staff. I specifically want to give a shout out to Nick who is patient and very informative. When we asked about the different offerings we decided on their Ahi tuna wraps and for dessert their fried apple pie. 

This is a really nice place. Service is always great, we had Yuri and she was on top of things all night. House margarita was good and had a unique twist with the grapefruit. A little on the sweet side which I didn’t love. Their food specials are great! Every restaurant should do this to allow for a break on high cost of eating out. We appreciated it. I always get and love their mushroom tacos but last night they were sadly skimping on the mushroom. One taco had about three mushroom slivers. I figure if that’s the highlight of the dish, it should at least fill the tortilla shell. But other than that, it was tasty. Portions are perfect - not too much food.
