About Hoexter's

Hoexter's offers a memorable dining experience with its fantastic cuisine, including the decadent and famous garlic bread, and the sensational cheeseburger. The restaurant is very cozy, pretty, and lively, creating a warm atmosphere for guests. The service is often exceptional, with attentive and helpful staff who can assist in choosing dishes like cauliflower, tuna, and burger, ensuring a great dining experience. The appetizers are consistently delicious, featuring dishes such as tuna crudo, shrimp cocktail, beef carpaccio, and calamari, all prepared perfectly. The steak frites are cooked medium rare and are very tasty, although some may find it a bit pricey for the portion size, with the steak frites costing $78. The bar area is known for its excellent drinks, with the bartender making a mean dirty martini and a popular cocktail called Sister Rachel, especially if you enjoy yuzu. Guests also find the vibe and food to be awesome, and the staff, including waiters, are described as great and attentive. However, noise levels can be very high during peak dinner hours, making it difficult to hear and enjoy conversations, which might affect the overall experience. Some areas within the restaurant can be too dark or too loud, prompting guests to sit outside to enjoy a more comfortable atmosphere. Recently, diners praised the flavorful smash burger, though some found the dirty martini with a different type of olives to have a strange flavor, leading to its return. The stylish setting, combined with tempting drink and food menus, makes for a special celebration meal, thanks to friendly and professional servers. Guests also enjoy the lively atmosphere, warm staff, and delightful cocktail selections like the ‘tiny tini,’ perfect when one isn't enough. While the overall experience is highly positive, some guests mentioned waiting over 20 minutes for a reservation, especially on busy nights, which can be less ideal during bad weather. Despite this, many consider Hoexter's a great place to dine and would return again.
