    I took my boyfriend here for his birthday & it was absolutely amazing! I ordered the catch of the day, but my favorite thing was his steak! He opted for the one with the crab meat on top. What an experience. Honestly, the steak alone puts this restaurant at a 5 star rating in my book, but the ambiance & tranquil, elegant setting, knocked it out of the park. Thank you!

    Due to Covid-19 we ate outside. I'm sure the inside would have been lovely but they made the best of a bad situation. The service was excellent and my family enjoyed the food.

    We had a wonderful experience at the Hobbit. The food and service was wonderful. The beautiful sunset was an extra for a very special evening. The way they set up for outdoor seating was great. Looking forward to coming again.
