Hopscotch Restaurant Reviews
10/10! The food, service, and drinks (the NA selection is beyond amazing!). Quirky atmosphere, outstanding tapas, friendly, attentive service. Cannot wait to go back!
Gina is a great mixologist. The staff are consistent and low turnover. Josh and the chefs are always coming up with a new special entree. They have something for everyone.
Do you want an old fashioned? Small plate of shrimp? Just lounge and people watch? Standup comedy upstairs on weekends.
Hi! I was on the square yesterday evening and asked a fellow about a good place to eat with a decent price and so, I listened and stopped in! I love this place so much! All the staff is super sweet and super rad! I felt like I fit in with them perfectly! Even took a selfie with guy who was also wearing a scream shirt! I had the blackened shrimp and I was beyond satisfied with it! I will be back! You guys rock!
