    They were out of the poutine and had no specials the night we were there. Food not prepared how we asked which greatly affected experience. Waiter asked if he could make us another burger but we were in a hurry and didn’t have time. Charged us extra for dirty martini - had an up charge labeled “dirty” which seemed silly but whatever. Fun ambiance but we were clearly there on an off night.

    I've been reluctant to go to this restaurant for many years, and my instincts were right. The space itself harkens back to the 90's, but worse is rundown and dirty. The menu is limited and only real French through an American lens, this time dating back to the 80's. Unfortunately the worst part is the food itself. The ratatouille we ordered was basically inedible due to being over-seasoned and completely undercooked. The fact that we did not touch it would normally cause a question by staff, however not at Hopfields, where the service is not only slow, but completely apathetic about your experience. Apprécier!

    Although the food is pretty good here, especially the moule frites, the service here was not worth it. It took 50 minutes to get a drink and even longer for the food. One of our guests received his food when everyone else was done. We had 10 people and unfortunately made for a rough experience.

    The kitchen was having production issues and our server didn’t grasp the issue or communicate it with us. Instead, we were avoided for most of 2.5 hours before we ate. This was supposed to be a surprise birthday dinner too, which we didn’t end up doing due to the delays & extremely slow service. The manager definitely tried to make it right, which I appreciate a lot, but ultimately it was just a very unfortunate experience.

    My partner and I came here for Sunday brunch at 11am, right when they open. Unfortunately almost everything about the experience was off. We ordered cappuccinos and a croissant. The cappuccinos came after about 25 minutes and were good, but it took a full 50 minutes to get any food. The croissant was incredibly greasy and didn’t even taste like a proper croissant. This was shocking. The steak and eggs were very lackluster - the steak was absolutely not filet mignon as described in the menu - much more likely a top sirloin. The cut was uneven and a bit gristly, and it was incredibly tough to chew (though cooked to the right temperature). It was considerably worse than any steak I could easily grill at home or fry on a pan. The sunny-side up eggs were both overcooked and undercooked. The whites were overcooked and too dark and brown and the yolks were still a bit too snotty. The pan was obviously too hot when cooking them. The French fries were great - no complaints there. The aioli was bland and too much like just mayonnaise, which was disappointing. My partner’s dish was unfortunately also a bit of a mess. She ordered the French toast. The bread was too dense and greasy. The berries weren’t fresh. The whipped cream wasn’t light and fluffy. Overall, this was a shockingly disappointing experience. We liked the ambiance overall and the fact that we were in a quiet nook without blasting music was lovely. But for the price (our bill came to $110 after tip), this was an absolutely horrible value when you consider you get an absolutely top notch experience with phenomenal food quality and fast service at a place like Blue Daisy Cafe in Santa Monica. Sadly, the food was just bad. French dining it is not. The service was incredibly slow. We don’t plan on coming back and couldn’t recommend it to anyone.

    The four of us had a wonderful dinner out on the charming patio at Hopfields. The server was very attentive, and offered useful insight into their menu selections. For our first course we shared the Moules Frites. For the second course, I had the Duck and my husband had the tuna Nicoise. Our friends each had the beef cheek Bourguignon, and the Hopfield’s Pascal Burger. Everything was delicious and our server Clinton helped us choose the perfect wine and beer to pair with our meals. Thanks again, we will be back soon!

    Salad niçoise was so la la. The presentation on a flat plate to assemble yourself on tiny plates is not ideal. Charged for extra bread! The cheese/charcuterie board was madly overprice. Would hv loved some little Cornichons or caper berries to make it more unique. In France they always serve it with a little bit of butter as well. The Negroni was lovely, well made, Just not lots to rave about, sorry. The back room is noisy and poorly lit. Service was ok.

    We were a group of four former work colleagues gathering to celebrate the anniversary of my retirement. Hopfields treated us well. Our server was attentive and fun to “play” with. The food and the beer and wine were tasty. And we had a delightful time. We began with oysters and escargot dumplings to share. We had different entrees (I had the moules frites). All were satisfied.

    I love Hopfields. They have creative and delicious food. I made the reservation thru OpenTable and I don't think Hopfields read the info for the reservation fully. It was a very special evening for me/us. I had asked for a romantic, secluded table. We were placed in a WIDE open space, and just a 2 top and could not be close to each other. The entire time we were there only 3 tables were utilized. Secondly, I brought a small flower group and tipped the bartender ("only person there" ) to please ask the wait staff to place these on BEFORE we are sat. This did not happen. I had to remind a server who brought them right out. Not a big deal, but wasn't what I asked for. A restaurant like Hopfields, with that price point and all, should be able to look at the details. It separates the better dining experience.

    Oh my goodness! We had such a nice meal (as always) at Hopfields. The range of appetizers and the drink selection (wine, beer, and cocktails) was amazing. The salad nicoise, French 77, and creme brulee were some of the highlights of our dinner. Our favorite part was our fantastic server Gareth who was friendly, informative, efficient. SUCH a good time.

    I was very pleased with the evening we spent with friends at Hopfields. I had not had dinner there in many years, but it is difficult to get a reservation for a table for 6 at a reasonable time in Austin these days. Not a problem here and that was a good thing. We had a very comfortable space, the noise level was such that elderly people like us could converse without too much trouble, and the menu options were delicious. Of course the beer menu is great and so it the food. We had a hard time deciding what to order, which is always a good sign. I think Hopfields is under-rated or under-appreciated. It was a good choice for us last night.

    While, I appreciate the bartenders and their hard work during our reservation, it was extremely hard to get to that point. Trying to have a manager call you back, waiting over 7 days, and still receiving no call is a little much. I will not be scheduling with Hopfields again.

    I made two reservations at Hopfields for different weeks--will cancel the second one. Waiter forgot us (to be fair we were the only table out doors)--my friend had to go inside to fetch him. When ordering, we asked that the seared tuna for our Nicoise be seared a bit longer and were told the waiter would convey our request but that the "chef" was creative and tempermental--as if the salad were his creation? The tuna was not served to my request but I didn't dare upset the chef. The waiter forgot to bring more aioli for the fries. When the dinners were served, we had to go inside to find flatware. It wasn't terrible, but for the price and with the tip included (always) it was a very pricey mediocre dinner with mediocre service. I've loved this place but not going back.

    i had chosen this spot for a celebratory meal with my family of 6. we aim to support our local restaurants. my hungry family ordered 5 steak frites meals, aware of the strain on kitchen all at once, i was patient…30 mins…45 mins go by and finally my family was served, 4 steak frites meals, leaving our youngest to watch the rest of us eat. we were told the chef “forgot one” and it would be ready in 10 mins. over 20 mins later, it was served. ordered medium, arrived rare. all this wait time and we weren’t offered additional drinks (beers/cocktail). we were offered free dessert (which we declined) and little else was done to remedy our bad experience. they did remove 2 steak frites from our bill. upon our departure, the server failed to even say goodbye when we passed him on the way out. avoiding any eye contact. i am not one to complain as i know we all have off days. this was more than an off night. i did leave a 20% tip, despite the poor service. disappointing all around as it soured our celebration and unfortunately, we won’t return to support our this local establishment. a bummer all around.
