    Excellent service from beginning to end. Our waiter was superb. Food was heavenly as always. Always a special treat to celebrate occassions here. Disappointed though they don’t do the complimentary birthday desserts anymore. We ordered desserts but HOPR used to also do a fun little free birthday dessert for the birthday guests.

    Had a wonderful time with my wife who loved the executive cut of Prime Rib. I had the pepper New York steak with peppercorn sauce cooked medium rare. I was very disappointed with the pepper steak. It was cooked perfectly medium rare but it was very tough as though it was cooked extra well done. The soup of the day was cream of mushroom which was excellent. The desserts were apple bread pudding and baked Alaska and both were delicious. I still would recommend this restaurant because of the service and ambience but wouldn’t recommend the pepper steak. Next time I will order the prime rib.
