Shannon, grant, and the whole staff (chefs included) where the nicest wait staff I’ve ever met. The meal and experience was one of the best of my life. Worth every penny. I’ll be back every year!

Have wanted to dine here for a number of years and finally had the opportunity. It’s a super cute space – converted home that has a ton of charm but no central air. I’m guessing that’s not an issue most of the year, but on a 100 degree day, it was a serious problem. All of us were really uncomfortable the entire time with the possible exception of the time spent in the wine cellar which was cooler, but packed with the entire guest list for the evening. Super wine list if not a bit over priced.

I will start by saying, we did enjoy ourselves and we will come back. The Hobbit is a dining experience. The food, the setting, the opportunity to meet and socialize with people you don’t know makes for an enjoyable evening. The Hobbit is expensive. You start with cocktails upstairs ( they are included on the check but you should tip your bartenders). When you have hors d’oeuvre in the wine cellar, you can purchase wine to go with dinner. My Brother in law bought a Red and I bought two bottles of Riesling (I brought one home) The food was delicious. I had the beef. My husband had the Chilean Seabass. The 4 stars overall is that I have food allergies that I disclosed multiple times and the my first beef plate came out with the vegetable that I am allergic to so I was done. They brought me another plate but my enthusiasm was dampened. Dessert was good but entrees were the star. I found it difficult to find a reservation but perseverance and patience paid off. We will return!

Came here for my friends 40th birthday party. The Hobbit has a set menu and the person hosting the event forgot to let them know in advance that I’m a vegetarian Thankfully the chef and staff was very accommodating and was able to whip up a wonderful meal on such short notice! The food, staff and atmosphere was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

This is an entire experi3nce from hors d’oeuvres to dinner to the wine pairing. The staff is amazing. We had the filet mignon and lamb, and it was amazing. Cannot wait to come back.

So, we were a party of a dozen with a reservation to take over the wine cellar. Group birthday thing. Food was amazing and the service was incredibly comfortable and friendly. Don’t let the price scare you, though they are high end and the dress code is up, the staff are wonderfully open and friendly. The food was top notch as expected with surprising favorites. Even if it’s a once in a lifetime experience, make the effort to try The Hobbit.

This place was absolutely amazing. I’d first heard about it through Reddit and knew I had to go. My wife and I went for our anniversary and the reservations took way shorter than want we had anticipated and were able to get in within a couple weeks. When we arrived we saw the amazing iron gate and the beautiful glass “h” and were greeted warmly by a host letting us know they were expecting us.

The Hobbit is much more than a meal. It is a dining experience!

Unfortunately, we had to tap out just a little early as we had been at the lounge since 6, but this was just splendid in every sense of the word. The hors d’oeuvres were terrific and so diverse. The wine and champagne were spectacular, as was chatting with the friendly sommelier, and the entrées were unbelievable. They were kind enough to pack our desserts to go, and we couldn’t be more grateful to enjoy them the next day. Cannot wait to come back, what an experience!

A delicious spot well worth waiting for. Reservations can take months, but the old adage “good things come to those who wait” cannot be exemplified more in their carefully selected pre fixe menu. Each dish is presented beautifully and tastes wondrous. Expect to enjoy the entire four-hour dining experience.
