About lil' hops tavern

lil' hops tavern is a cozy restaurant perfect for a date night or hanging out with friends. The atmosphere is great, with beautiful decor and yummy food. The drinks are well-made, and the beer selection is impressive, offering options like a flight to try different local beers. The Chicken lollipops and parsnip fries are delicious, while the pizza options, including the smokey duck with fig honey and the smoked chicken and bacon, are also highly recommended. The pizza bread is very crisp and thin, perfect for those who enjoy a crunchy crust. However, some improvements are needed. The avocado toast with peaches and poached eggs was mediocre, with cold eggs and unexpected green onions. Additionally, the music can be loud, making conversations difficult even outside. Service can be slow due to limited staff, but the staff is generally great, super kind, and prompt, even during the lunch rush. The fish is fresh, flaky, and the batter is perfectly crispy with no soggy spots. The oysters come with fresh horseradish and a hot sauce made in-house, very delicious! They have deals for oysters on Wednesday as well. The bartender/mixologist is a craftsman, knowledgeable, and is great to talk to. This is the only place that can perfectly prepare a Manhattan off-menu. The overall experience is enjoyable, with tasty food and a welcoming chef who ensures a good dining experience. The manager Tayler is dedicated to making events special and goes above and beyond for guests.
