Creative cocktails (potions), fun atmosphere with fantastic performers at the piano and mic downstairs. The food is Asian-inspired cuisine—a little on the pricey side, but delicious every time! The reservation process was a little clunky via OpenTable. I called to reserve first and then was told a confirmation email would be headed my way from OpenTable. I checked my inbox (spam and junk included), but never received anything—except an email from OT asking if I wanted to cancel because I hadn't confirmed. It's a glitch, but one that could've pushed us to find another reservation elsewhere. Something to look out for. Great experience overall.

Creative fusion menu. Top notch ambiance for couples and groups in the Piano room downstairs on Friday evenings. Service is attentive and friendly.

Food and drink were amazing , so delicious! Fresh ingredients . Ambience and decor were perfection .

Kate

The food was great but service was spotty. One person in our party waited a solid 20-30 mins after the rest of us got our food to receive hers. She got 50% off of her dish but that didn't really seem sufficient because essentially we didn't even have our meal "together". Furthermore, the service was not proactive about telling us about the delay, we had to check in repeatedly on the status of her meal and they kind of avoided us. Too bad as the venue is quite cool and the food was unique.

Food was fantastic! We didn't realize that during booking not only would we not be able to see the artists, but unless you are downstairs, you won't be able to hear them either. Something I'd make sure to check going forward.

I would avoid this place! It's one of those places that have gotten popular because of TikTok or Instagram, but I'm telling you the food is actually disgusting, we ended up leaving at our appetizer round because of how bad the food was

Excellent night out before the ballet! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with lots of character. The food was cooked to perfection with a great blend of spices. We all enjoyed our meals and shared several plates. Highly recommend!

One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time!!! Excellent food, phenomenal service, amazing atmosphere and decor, it was a vibe !!

Roman

The only issue we had was we were sat next to another party despite an empty basement. Other than that, the wine selection is great. It is intentional and the impression i got was that they know good wines. The food was delicious (although spicy). Believe the server, if they say the food is spicy! It is great!!

Had a reservation in the piano lounge, really enjoyed our time there! The drinks were delicious, the food was good and our server was attentive. The pianist and singer were lovely and even took my partner's song request. Great experience, can't wait to try some more cocktails next time!

Allison

Fun and creative cocktails! Definitely recommend if you want a witchy vibe. On the pricier side for sure, but is a total experience.

Brian

Very cool vibe to Hobgoblin. Interesting cocktail choices and a nice touch with having some cocktails with a "fortune" that goes along with them. The cocktails were good, the food was also very good and would recommend trying to get a table downstairs since that is where the piano player is. Though the upstairs is quite nice as well.

Creative and fun menu. Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow. Also not thrilled we were rushed out- servers started clearing table before we were finished- we wanted to order dessert but we were told we were out of time.

The food was absolutely fantastic - we had such a good meal. Lovely atmosphere. It was so close to the Opera House so perfect for before the show. Really enjoyed our meal here - had the lamb shank and the beef - delicious!
