Hop & Vine

Truly a hidden gem! Wife and I stopped here for a pre birthday celebration meal and was not disappointed. Everything that we ordered was bursting with flavor. Not a huge ravioli fan, but the lobster ravioli dish my wife had was tremendous. My fried chicken was tasty and went great with the mashed potatoes. Truffle fries truly a highlight and wings also delicious. Will definitely make a return trip.

Not too bad - not too bad at all. It’s a small place and can get pretty loud though. Make reservations if you are going before 2pm on a weekend. The Harissa Hash ($12) is an interesting dish influenced by the flavors of North Africa. It’s a potato hash, with a slightly spicy harissa (I had to look it up) paste mixed in, spinach, onions, red peppers, and chermoula (I had to look that one up too) aioli on the side. Top it off with two eggs cooked however you like them. Two pieces of toast are included. It was tasty, and as I mentioned, just a tiny bit of spice to it - not overwhelmingly spicy. It was good, and the eggs were cooked exactly as ordered. Let’s give a shout out to the kitchen staff for this one! Vineyard Salad ($7) is your standard spinach salad with cranberries, candied pecans, red onions, and chevre. All of the ingredients were fresh and it was topped with a balsamic dressing. Move along - nothing to see here folks. The service - well, it was just so-so - very courteous, but a tad on the slow side. They were very busy though, so I will cut them some slack. I’ll be back to check out their dinner offerings. Pro Tips follow: Not all of the menu items are available during brunch on the weekends - the only items available are the ones with the little picture of a sun next to them. Bummer, because I was reading the reviews and looking at pix before my visit and the entree I had my heart set on is not served during brunch hours. There’s a few beers listed in the menu, but make sure you take a look at the table tent for a list of their rotating beers. I didn’t realize this before I ordered.
