An exceptional evening with a lovely flow & delicious food. We shared the grilled peach salad & salmon tartare & beef tataki & our server offered amazing wine pairings. Thank you so much to Le Hobbit for your wonderful restaurant.

I liked the eggs Benedict, quite interesting with the pink sauce (beets in the sauce).I really enjoyed the "BLT" which was their spin on the dish. Service was quite friendly.

My partner & I visited le Hobbit many times & we were amazed not only the quality of food, but also the service.
Such a warm & welcoming environment! Highly recommended.

The food did not hit the spot. The kitchen there seems to source fresh ingredients & may even know the technique, but the flavours are too bland, lacking in creativity & trying to be too fancy. If I could leave one recommendation - I'd say go back to basics & learn to deliver a culinary experience instead of raising prices & pretenting to be what you aren't. You can always make more when you have a crowd at your door.

We ordered a halibut plate that was minuscule for 38 dollars & wasn't fancy or extraordinary either. It was cooked correctly, but lacked in seasoning. The lobster bisque that was supposed to complement the fish ended up being some watery substance in which canned corn & mustard leaves were seated, serving as a final frontier between the swampy bottom of the plate & the crispy quarter of a halibut steak. Your mom would have cooked you a better halibut & wouldn't skimp on flavour. However, this is the whole story with this place - they are afraid of flavour.

The pork chop was a bit bigger than the fish but did not impress either. They may have used a sous-vide, or maybe just marinated it well, so you could taste some herbiness, but this is where the excitement ends. The so-called chimichurri was bland & mixed with tomato sauce. Needless to say that there was no heat to it, no garlic flavour, no flavour at all actually.

Finally, the service was very much laissez-faire. The waiter has forgot to ask us about allergies but did ask the table next to us (thankfully we don't have any). They also didn't bring us a dessert menu 10 minutes after we asked. Instead they decided to chit chat with the guests at the bar. I can clearly understand this when the restaurant is full, although of course bringing a menu should be simple enough. However, it wasn't even close to half full, so we were just left alone throughout the evening. We decided to leave at the end.

The server was helpful at explaining the menu initially & did ask us about the food once we started. In their defence, my girlfriend liked the food although she does agree on the service being below the standard.

Now if you can explain why bland food deserves the prices they set - let me know.

Le Hobbit - get your act together or Smaug & hungry visitors will get you closed for good.
