Dinner: Their Valentine Menu 2026 was a great and quality value. Moules Frites and Creme Brulee are delicious.

It was fine. Table we were seated at had a really bright light from the street shining directly into my eyes. waitress closed the curtains which was mostly good. Tables are also pretty tight and it was loud. Maybe a mismatch from what I wanted that evening.

This was our first visit to Hopfields and it was a good one. Excellent service always adds to experience and we had a great server. The fig, beets and burrata was a great start. We had the ratatouille and the cassoulet and both were delicious. We'll definitely be coming back.

What a great place! Amazing beer selection and super yummy food. My husband loved the duck sandwich. I had the mushroom pasta. We will definitely be back!

This was our first visit, and it won't be our last. Great service from Grace, and the food was spectacular!
Ashley
Had a great girls night here. Food was fantastic. Loved the Moules Frites & NA Mex martini. Only negative was that we were a bunch of 40 something's sat at a bench without any back which was a little un comfy during the 4 hours we spent chatting and snacking.

Very fine dining in a more eclectic and relaxed atmosphere. Attentive service and every dish was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful meal. There was a group of five and we were seated at a back table that made it easy to enjoy conversation.

I wanted to love this place from the moment I walked in, but it disappointed me. (3.5) stars would be more accurate.
The GOOD: accepts reservations, and the hostess was lovely. Female server was super friendly, and the environment is deeply relaxing without feeling stuffy. The liver mousse was delicious and the tomato chutney on the side was yummy, if overly sweet. But, I wish the toasted French bread had not been saturated in oil. Unnecessary and unhealthy. I liked the mussels but fair warning, the sauce is full of chili so it’s not the garlicky white wine sauce our table was expecting. I was the only thumbs up out of 3.
The TROUBLING: not enough green choices. The male server helping was quite pompous-actually we found him unpleasant and snooty.
The BAD: the frites were great but way too salty, the coulotte cut of beef in our steak frites was a bit undercooked unfortunately for me, since I insisted on medium rare (they prefer medium) and there were several gristly bites. The mussels were served with fries but we asked for bread as well. Sadly, it was the same overly saturated toasted French bread. I suspect they aren’t using fresh French bread so the oil is a magic trick. I don’t like it at all. Plain toasted French bread please!
I’ll go back for the duck and to become reacquainted with the Salade niçoise which I remember being tasty. Maybe I’ll find something cravable and upgrade the stars.

Hopfields was incredible. We had reservations and a table ready, but ended up moving to the bar so we could watch the game. The servers were busy, yet they still took time to chat and make us feel welcome. The food and drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was such a fun surprise — it honestly felt like we were somewhere in Europe. Great vibe, great service. I’ll be back for sure.

We always have great service . We sat outside because we brought our dogs! Riley was great. I look forward to some cooler days to sit out side!♥️🌟
People are always surprised when I suggest dinner at Hopfield's before an event on the UT campus—but then they join me there and they understand. Amazing food, lovely ambiance, pleasant service—this restaurant is the real deal

Excellent server experience. Kitchen delivered wrong soup order. Onion soup, mussels, tartare and burgers were excellent. The new tuna appetizer was disappointing and smelled a bit fishy. That won't keep us from returning though.

Wonderful food with a friendly staff and a stellar menu. A hidden gem. We would go back there in a second next time we are in Austin.
