Very beautiful atmosphere, the service was exceptional, and the food was awesome, beautifully served, and very tasty. I can't say enough to sufficiently express my experience. The menu is seasonal and fresh.

Shame on 2 Hopewell
Not sure who the manager is, but should be ashamed
This review is trending on the South Glastonbury site
So disappointed

We just had a very negative experience at 2Hopewell. After a nice dinner we tried to pay the bill and tip the waitress the balance between our $155 bill and our $200 gift card. The waitress told us that her manager would not let a tip be paid with the gift card. We asked to speak to the manager. The manager came to our table and said it was illegal in CT to use a gift card to pay a tip. We pushed back and said we have done this at other restaurants in CT. The manager angrily relented and said she would do it. I was afraid the waitress would not get a tip, so I left $28 in cash on the table. On our way out the manager was grousing about us to the hostess. I told her that I had left a cash tip for the waitress and she could do whatever she wants with the gift card. She ran after us into the parking lot yelling that we should “feel free to never come back.” Trust me. We won’t come back.

Dinner was good, although my scallops came out lukewarm, not hot, as if they had been sitting for a few minutes. Everything else was good. Service was fast and efficient. It was very loud, making it hard to carry on a conversation but in fairness it was a busy Saturday night. We've eaten here several times and it's one of the best choices on the east side of the river. Definitely much more enjoyable than the regional multi location operators common in the area.

Enjoy the lovely dinner at 2 hopewell this evening. We shared the eggplant Parm appetizer. For entrées, my husband had the short ribs and I had the Farro island salmon. All was delicious and our server Wendy was fantastic.

2 Hopewell is a South Glastonbury Gem! This restaurant has it all! Top notch fine dining, live weekend music downstairs and even a bar playing the game! 2 Hopewell bistro has an extremely farm fresh to table variety of delectable entrees from a variety of risotto’s to steak seafood and much more! Their wedge salad is to die for and my wife loves their braised short rib meal as the best she has ever had! They have a scrumptious hamburger and wonderful dessert options as well! I highly recommend 2 Hopewell Bistro both for your very special event as well as drinks and appetizers with your friends!

We had an excellent meal. The food was really good as was the service from our server, Wendy. We had made reservations and were seated in the lower section at 6:30. We didn't know there would be live music. The music was very loud and seemed a little out of place during dinner hours. Next time, we will make sure to request upstairs seating. Other than that, this really was a wonderful meal, and we look forward to returning.

Phenomenal small restaurant hidden in historic South Glastonbury. Small but tastefully curated menu. Atmosphere and service are top notch. While it may not be the fanciest item on the menu, the burger is hands down top notch. Legendary.

Historic restaurant, in old Glastonbury, with a great atmosphere. The menu is small and very fresh with delicious food. Would absolutely recommend for a nice dinner date or even a group setting. I personally will be back very soon.... Food only got a three star because sweet pea risotto was not cooked through (rice was crunchy)
