Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend

A nice place. Service was fine. Food was good. The atmosphere was lovely.
Love this place. Everything is scrumptious. Flavours are unique and out of this world. Great ingredients. And everyone is so kind! Our favourite.

Hippo restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with its amazing food, excellent drinks, and top-notch service. It represents Californian-Italian cuisine, where tradition meets fresh seasonal produce. Favorites include the Hippo rolls, broccolini ravioli, chicken thighs, and crudo, along with wonderful housemade pasta like the duck ragu tagliolini, which features tender al dente noodles and a hearty sauce. Guests also enjoy the hamachi crudo, any of the pastas, butternut squash cappellacchi, grilled cauliflower, and wax beans, which are crisp, bright, and a standout. The staff is accommodating and sweet, making it a great spot for fancy to casual dining, though communication and service can falter. The ambiance is wonderful, with a large interior space adorned with funky designs and high ceilings, though it can get very loud inside, making conversation challenging at times. Guests have enjoyed the tasty food and drinks, mentioning the delicious bread with honey butter and the wax beans as favorites. The focaccia is also noted for its suppleness and rosemary flavor, perfect for sopping up sauce. While some dishes, like the scallops and steak, received mixed feedback, the butterscotch budino dessert has been praised for its smooth texture and balance of flavors. Overall experiences have been positive, with good vibe, happy staff, and diners eager to return.
