Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Hobgoblin offers a vibrant atmosphere with "great ambience" and "creative cocktails." The menu features "amazing food" with an Asian fusion twist, though more vegetarian options could enhance the experience. While service can be slow during busy times, the staff is "attentive," and the "live music" adds to the appeal.

    Very happy with this restaurant, food was excellent. Especially enjoyed the lump crab fried rice. Wine is interesting though mostly pricey. Interesting cocktail list. It is very lively and was loud, but expected that. Love the speakeasy decor.

    Booked this for Valentine’s Day drinks with another couple - the down stairs bar closed early which we weren’t aware of. They came around with checks without telling us that it was last call and they just turned the lights on. Really poor experience and wish we just had drinks at home instead

    Wait staff was not as attentive and the food for the pricing and taste was not where it should be. I think there’s always a hit or miss with trying a new restaurant but what stood out was that the staff did not seem the least bit interested in whether you enjoyed your meal or not. I think for drinks this place is good but I would not recommend eating here. Overpriced and not palatable at all.

    Fun Valentine's Day dinner! A little rushed with the service. Was not staged very well but tasty! Cod option was a lot of fun and tasty although the fries paring was mediocre. Meat dishes were excellent. Sticky rice dessert really unique.
