Hopscotch Restaurant

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!

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!

Great place to check out if you’re in Gainsville! Owner is super nice and friendly. Always puts on cool events like comedy nights and live music! Great food and great people. They brought out dog treats and a water bowl while we enjoyed dinner on the patio. Safe to say our dog Nugget loves it too! You guys rock ??

We celebrated my mother’s birthday with dinner, then a comedy show. The food was amazing, the headliner was hilarious, but most of all, Tony and his staff did a fantastic job accommodating our large party and made my mother feel so special. I can’t say enough about how great they were. We will definitely be back!!!

Expensive. Few choices if you want a meal. Slow service. The only thing that saved the evening was the company - being with my family means everyhting. This is definately a "one and done" experience.

Stumbled across this gem looking for another restaurant that didn't even exist. Super lucky to have gotten parking right in front. Close to 7 30 we got a seat in under 10 minutes. Greeted quickly and warmly we were offered a drink while we waited.Ash was our server and she rocked! Friendly, interactive, knew the menu well, stayed on her game the whole night.Hopscotch had a surprisingly deep wine selection, more choices than one would expect and priced reasonably.Now, the star of the show! The food. Brussels for an app. Demi glaze, cooked to perfection. Super large portion, ideal for 2 people. I had the lamb with chimichuri with risotto and it immediately had me thinking about my next visit. Again a generous portion with tons of flavors. Wife had the special of the evening a cod fish over vegetables, rosemary potatoes tower! The presentation was great. The food surpassed the presentation. Every bite introduced a new flavor combo and made you dive back in for more. You can tell the chef has creative flare and serious culinary skills. This has to be on your must visit list.

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.

Actually, didn't go in but the live music on Sunday night is awesome, a great date night!

Went here with a friend and was not the best experience. Staff took forever to get to us/check on us. I’m not impatient, so it wasn’t too big of a deal. My friend also received his drink in a dirty glass with lipstick on it. The food was good and our waitress was very nice and did her best. Not sure I’ll return though.
