We arrived in the middle of a snowstorm to find a warm, inviting environment with very friendly service and wonderful food. There were other diners but it was quiet enough to enjoy conversation and the background music was perfect…low but able to enjoy. We had lobster bisque and the duet appetizer. The bread stole the show though. It was warm and wonderful. Boulabaiss and Oscar style salmon were great. We finished with crème brûlée. Fantastic meal.

This was our 1st visit to a Hop Cat and knew it was going to be loud. That would be the only negative I felt we need to mention, but overall we loved the place. Food was great, our server, Julia, was great. Everyone must try the Fries! Great beer selections, too! My husband had the Chicken Bowl and I had the Steak quesadillas and they were both very good. We will definitely go back.

Food was delicious. Lemon Pepper roasted chicken was amazing although the sauce was more of a sweet glaze. Not lemon pepper at all but delicious nonetheless. Ambiance was great. Love the vibe. Service however was lacking. Our server was kind but failed to check in. We were out of water and our wine came with the last bite of dinner.
