This was our first visit to Popi’s. The restaurant was clean, new and quite busy. Our server was very friendly and helpful, clearly very busy handling all of her tables, but very responsive. Food was fresh and delicious. I would say this exceeded our expectations based on the photos on the website, and we plan to eat there again one day. Very close to stadiums, and has on-site parking which is a huge plus.

We were so excited to try Popi’s. Maybe it was a bad night, but the service was terrible. Two of us ordered shrimp fra diavolo. One bowl was full of pasta and the other had hardly 1/4 of that amount. We ordered the filet with a side of pasta and got vegetables/potato. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and it was Chardonnay. We normally would have asked for these things to be fixed, but the server came by so in frequently and we had a show to go to. $300 dinner and disappointment all the way around.

Our waiter provided great service, and we have been going there a long time. Are you still have all of the menu choices but the menu has shrunk a bit more recently.

We had a great night at Popi's. Business dinner - 6 people. Great ambiance, service, and food. Low-lit and busy(ish) on a Tuesday night. A touch on the pricy side, but we all left having very much enjoyed the night.

Tried to seat us in the bar area but a very nice waiter corrected the error that the very snooty hostess made. Service is exceptional. Food quality has gone downhill in the past several years and just doesn’t have a whole lot of taste. It is incredibly loud and uncomfortable. Maybe it’s just me but when I pay $170 for dinner for two and there are people sitting around me in tshirts, jeans, and hats, it’s just not acceptable. Expect more out of people for what is supposed to be a classy NYE evening at a classy restaurant. Enforce a dress code.

Always a good meal at Popi’s! Love the holiday atmosphere and entertainment! I think I found our new New Years Eve tradition.
