I (we)will not return to HOPR. Our last experience there was unsatisfactory.
The place was very crowded with noisy and boisterous customers to the extent that there was literally no place to sit while waiting for our table. My dear sweetie was pushed and jostled as she tried to find a comfortable place to wait.
We were on time for our reservation yet had to wait more than 45 minutes to be seated. That would have been acceptable were there a place to sit, talk, have a drink. But that was not going to happen.
As for our meal, well, it too was disappointing. The Yorkshire pudding was grossly overdone and one of the four baked potatoes we ordered was cold. The prime rib was pretty good, but not to the standard I remembered it to be. I've been a multi-time visitor to the restaurant and think I've a pretty good idea of what their quality and standards have been over the years.
Overall, it was an unpleasant dining experience. @MetsFan5, if you go back to the restaurant, I hope you have a more enjoyable experience than we had.
