209a Main St S, Newmarket, ON L3Y 3Y9, Canada
Upscale-casual restaurant & bar spotlighting sharable dishes, a raw bar & craft cocktails.
Amazing all around, had the halibut fish and oysters. The fish is fresh, flakey and the batter is perfectly crispy with no soggy spots. The fish comes with an entire half lemon which I love, and the batter doesn’t upset the stomach or over take the fish. The oysters come with fresh horseradish and a hot sauce made in house, very delicious! They have deals for oysters on Wednesday as well. Great selection of wines and a very knowledgeable bar tender, shout out to Luke. I’ve been coming here once a week the past few months and have yet to be disappointed!
I came in with a friend and we ordered avacado toast. The bread was soggy, overall neither one of us liked it - but when we told the waitress she did absolutely nothing to rectify this not did she take them off the bill. Service was slow and rarely do I remember being displeased enough to complain about food quality, how could you let us walk out having paid over 50 brunch for nothing. Had to eat elsewhere after.
We’ve only been here for drinks at the bar but we’ll always come back. They have great elaborate cocktails that you’d find downtown on king st. But not for downtown prices. The bartender/mixologist Luke is a craftsman and also really great to talk too! This is the only place I trust to order a Manhattan off menu and get it perfectly prepared. We’ll be back to have a sit down dinner.
Enjoyed a delicious brunch and an AMAZING bloody caesar on their terrace. Will definitely be back!
It had a nice interior, but the service wasn't good. It took 25 minutes for someone to come and take the drink orders. He poured some of it on the table though. We chose 2 starters, and they said they ran out of both. Took another 45 minutes, and the server came to inform us that they had run out of chickens but they handled it and offered a salad for the delay finally got our dishes after 1 hour and 10 minutes and it was just OK nothing special.
Outside patio and inside of the restaurant is very nice. The food is okay.
Very cool place. Luc serves up amazing cocktails. The Spanish Garlic Shrip is an excellent snack to get started with...
This was one of the best dinners we've ever had. My husband and daughter and I opted for the Chefs Tasting special. A selection of choices made by the chef, with some input from us through our server asking us what we like generally. It was $50 a person (reg$55) but it also included a drink and dessert and it was served family style. Let me tell you, you will not be disappointed. So much good quality food! And the servers were all fantastic. Wonderful place with a nice higher end vibe. The patio was also full. I can't say enough about the food and that they try very hard to please by tailoring the items you receive to things that you indicated you would enjoy. We will definitely be back!! Check the pics. It was 10 courses in all! Yes 10!
Came here for a dinner and a couple drinks, pleasantly surprised how good food/service was. Megan my server, was very friendly and outgoing. Will be coming back!!
After ordering our brunch, it takek 25 minutes to bring our food, and Tater tots werent in .After mentioning it to waters, it took another 15 minutes to bring Tater tots .they blamed it to kitchens short staff.
Brunch service was slow. No clean coffee cups apparently. Cream jug was covered in rust on the inside that apparently they didnt see and they tried to suggest it was coffee. Eggs benny was left waiting to be served and arrived cold and the eggs were hard. Bacon not cooked through. On the way out I nearly wiped out as the tiles were wet from a customer who had shaken his umbrella and the water was not mopped up.
Ill preface this by saying my companion and I are former servers and give SUBSTANTIAL grace and leeway to our industry staff. On basic service, we tip 30%. Our visit to this establishment was subpar, at best. The seats were 1/4 full, 3 servers on the floor at 1pm on a Saturday - Nov 9. We ordered our drinks. 15 minutes later we ordered our mains. Still no drinks had arrived. 30 minutes had passed since we were seated and still no drinks were poured. Not water, nor the other ordered beverages. This was after asking if the ordered drinks were going to arrive. The kitchen staff had to assist in bussing the tables as the FOH staff could not keep up with the onslaught of a restaurant that was 1/4 filled. Service: Non-existent. Cleanliness: Front windows were smeared with dirt. Staff were wiping down the seats and then using the same cloth to wipe down the table tops. Disappointed is a generous word for this establishment.
We were served by Megan and she was so kind and helpful. Food was alright but at least the service was great.
We had dinner tonight and we decided to sit outside; we were initially served fast with water and drinks!dinner was served a little late, and then no one checked if we needed anything during dinner. Hamburger was tasty and I do not recommend spicy duck taco!
Beware hidden fees! My friend and I came here for some cocktails, and while our experience was generally a pleasant one, we left with a sour taste in our mouths. We chose to upgrade the type of bourbon in our cocktails from the house one to a mid-range one (Basil Hayden: respectable, but by no means a top-shelf liquor), and while we absolutely expected to be charged a couple of dollars for the swap, we didn t anticipate an extra $10 per cocktail. Neither the menu nor our server mentioned that our choice would almost double the cost of our drinks, from $14 to $24 per drink. We only found out upon receiving our bill! We inquired about the charges, our server explained, and we paid, but we revisited this with him shortly thereafter because it just wasn t sitting well with us. A manager never came out to speak with us directly, but we were offered a card with a free appetizer and drink for our next visit. A simple refund of some of the extra fees would have been more appropriate, but we didn t have time to spare on backs-and-forths. I don t know whether this occurrence will prompt a change in Lil Hops Tavern s disclosure practices (or rather, lack thereof), but I felt compelled to say something because I certainly would have appreciated knowing.
Cool little spot. I find that the food is bland and overpriced for what you get. Great beer selection though. Staff are mostly good and the place is clean.
Service and atmosphere were great. However, the chef needs to really do a better job running the kitchen. I ordered the avo toast with peaches and poached eggs for brunch and it was very mediocre. The eggs were cold (and runny, I asked for medium or hard), the bread was not toasted (kinda odd for avo toast to have smooshy/soft bread). Also, I have an onion allergy so they told me they would not put green onions on as a garnish and there were green onions sprinkled all over the eggs and toast. My cousin had the same as me and her eggs were also cold. I dont think I would go back.
Very nice cozy place with a nice homebeyonce my biggest issue, though. There appears to be only one bartender and we had to wait a very long time to get our drinks. Even for something as at tequila shop. We had to wait twenty minutes for it to arrive. I would have given this place a 5 star, but they do need T can prove with their service. That being said the food is great and I would recommend going there.
The first time we had dinner, it was amazing!!! Second time not so much. Third time the food was not as amazing. The fourth time was not worth our money and time. Which is sad. Such a great little place but lost its touch. Need to improve your food.
I am begging you, not to come here. This has nothing to do with the staff, the staff are amazing and I love the bartender but my god I will never come here again. If you ever have had the unfortunate experience of meeting the owner, Boris, you will completely understand. He is nice to your face but I heard him interact with his staff and I was in shock. Immediately my pleasant experience was ruined, I could not believe my being there was giving this cretinous human being any business. He treats his employees as a child with a magnifying glass treats ants on a hill. I could not believe the shear immaturity I was witness to as a customer seeing into the world of their employment structure. Now that is not all, the head chef there who I believe is also the head chef at the other hops restaurants on main street, is a shell of a man. The kitchen is near where we were seated and I heard this man whine and complain about the staff for anything but also hearing him refusing to cooperate with his team. The attitude I heard back there is everything that I hate in a human. The hops restaurants are mid at best and these businesses have survived due to good staff and location but Newmarket would benefit from literally anything else taking up that prime real estate. I beg anyone to not go here as the people running it make our community bleed.
(did not order food) Owner and staff were friendly. Service
Great food however very pricey for the quantity of food provided. Portions should be much larger given the higher menu prices.
I recently visited this restaurant and was extremely disappointed with my experience. The service was incredibly slow and the staff seemed uninterested in helping customers. my food took over 30 minutes to arrive at the table. When the food finally arrived, I was extremely disappointed. The dishes were cold and lacked flavor, and the portion sizes were small for the price. I ordered a duck breast ,the vegetables were bland and undercooked. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant due to the combination of poor service and unsatisfactory food. There are many other restaurants in the area that offer better options. I was very disappointed with my experience and will not be returning to this restaurant in the future.
I held my bridal shower here and was incredibly impressed with my experience right from my first meeting with the Event Coordinator Madison. She was willing to listen to all my ideas and helped me throw the bridal shower of my dreams! The staff was so friendly and accommodating! Ricky and the team in the kitchen were amazing. The food was phenomenal and no one went hungry. All the bar staff were absolutely phenomenal. They were interactive with my guests and provided great service. Everyone was so impressed with the vibe and atmosphere created in this cute space. If you are looking to host a private event I highly recommend Lil Hops Tavern!
Amazing hidden gem of Newmarket! Food was beyond amazing! We had the duck, mussels and garlic shrimp. We had to order more of the shrimp, it was so good! Service was wonderful, shout out to Taylor for her sweet and joyful smile, and amazing service! Atmosphere was super cozy and warming. Id definitely return again for another date night. The place deserves so much more recognition than it is getting now. Fantastic experience!
Food was excellent the steak and duck breast are delicious. Nice elegant inside. Servers were friendly and attentive enough, first time and won t be my last
Quality of brunch was very bad! Benny over cooked with bad hollandais and raw burger. Server was nice. Very good customer service.
Avoid this place. Worst service ever. We had 11:30 reservation for 11 people (7 adults, 4 kids). Not a morsel of food was on the table until slightly past 1 pm. Management gave us attitude when we complained, stating whats your problem? when a cranky manger finally came over to our table. There was no remorse or apologies for service. Aside from the slowness, no one came to table to offer more coffee or water or anything during the long wait. They werent overly busy but claimed they were slammed. Food eventually arrived and of course, mine was incorrect. Sent it back and cancelled my order. As for the food that others had when it finally got to the table, it was below average at best. Terrible experience. Would never go back. Much better options available in Newmarket.
Went for brunch Saturday ordered avocado toast. It came with one slice of bread which was not toasted and I had maybe 3 slices of thinly sliced avocado on it. On the menu it indicated pickled peach no peach was found. It was the sorriest avocado toast I have ever eaten. Not a good experience at all. Even the service was horrible. I do not recommend.
The worst place I have been to. Im not even milking it unfortunately. We ve waited over an hour for our food in hopes that at the very least it will taste good and it was so bland and overpriced. I ordered eggs with potatoes that were fried. No way possible it could take over an hour. At the very minimum our drinks could have been covered. Terrible won t be back.
Flat beer. Service was horrible. Food took over an hour and appetizers showed up after mains, but the food wasnt bad though. Party member didnt get food till after majority of the party had finished their meals. Overall, an unpleasant experience that was completely avoidable if we had chosen somewhere else for dinner.
Wheelchair accessibility: No. Bathrooms are downstairs. Front door has no ramp. Food
Its was just horrible. Presentation of food matches to it taste. Don t waste your time and money for it.
This place was good for beer but not good for appetizers at all The worst place I ate something I never back again to this place anymore Vegetarian options: Nithing
Horrible customer service. The server basically saw me with a pregnant belly waiting there for 10 minutes to ask her whether there is even a table for us. She had a glanced at us and pretended she didnt see us and continued chatting with someone else. I can t believe how petty some people can be. You should not be in this industry as you know 0 about customer service.
The food was incredibly bland and did not match the description. We got the red snapper, Cornish hen and Steak and Frites. The fries were soggy and the chicken and fish were both tasteless. The fish also came with no cilantro sauce despite the description saying it does. Will not be going back. Thoroughly disappointed.
Loved it. Wonderful flavours. Cozy. The parsnip fries were great and not at all what I expect from parsnip. Have visited close to a dozen times over three years. Great every time.
Came in and they were telling us we couldn t order alcohol until we ordered food. then tried to scam us for a $10 bottle of water. Food arrived, Cornish hen raw and bloody not cooked adequately. And my bolognese sucked! very dry not saucy, or cheesy. Throw the whole recipe away. I would recommend the owner focus more on the quality of their food rather than trying to monitor my alcohol intake. Meanwhile plenty of other tables sitting there with just alcohol at their table. And yes we arrived sober. Just ridiculous!!
We had a girls night here last Friday, with some fun cocktails, wine, and appetizers. Our server, Victoria, was full of great suggestions and made our evening even more memorable.
Restaurant did an amazing job hosting our reception . Excellent food and service and perfect atmosphere for our event! Madison and Ricky took great care of us.
Our food came out ice cold, service is terribly slow and it s WAY overpriced. Go across the street to The George instead.
Vegan sandwich and salad was delicious Dietary restrictions: Vegan options Food : 5/5 |
Tayler is a wonderful server and provides the best service whenever I come in! She needs more staff to help her!
Tayler was absolutely wonderful! We had breakfast here today, it was clear she had no staff and she made sure we were enjoying our experience despite how busy she was. Thank you Tayler! Food
Ive eaten there a couple of times, Chef Ricky creates some pretty spectacular dishes, and Luke the bartender concocts some unreal cocktails. As well as Taylor the front of the house manager always welcomes me when I walk through the door.
Went there for Valentines day. Great food and service and really liked the atmosphere. The drinks are pricey, but they look and taste amazing.
Go to place for good food in Newmarket. A bit pricy but mostly worth it. Good drinks and experienced staff.
Love this place!! The service is always fantastic, especially the man with the beard, didn t catch his name! and the pork belly bites are delicious.
I rarely post negative reviews, but our dining experience was so disappointing, I feel compelled to share our experience. There were issues with the quality of the food, the timing of the delivery of the food, as well as the quality of the service provided. Two cocktails arrived before the third was served. One of the appetizers that was ordered as an entree arrived before any other food, when it was clearly understood that it was going to be an entree. The next two choices were then delivered, while our daughters dinner was served quite a bit after all the other food. The empanadas were very doughy . . . almost as though they had not been fully cooked. A request for hot sauce was not delivered. All in all, a very poor experience. I am not sure if the timing of the food delivery was the fault of the server or the kitchen, but an effort should be made to ensure all food arrives at the same time so no one is sitting around waiting, while others have their meals. The server was very apologetic throughout the entire service, but that only seemed to highlight all the things that were going wrong. All in all, a very disappointing experience.
The waitresses doesn t seem to like their jobs and apparently neither does the kitchen staff.
First visit to this beautiful patio. It was hard to decide what to have as everything sounded delicious. I had the avocado toast with pickled peaches (SO good) and my husband had the Benny (he loved it too) However, as much as we were thrilled with our food choices, the best part of our dining experience was our server, KENNEDY. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and full of awesome energy. We will definitely return to try the dinner menu. Thanks Kennedy :)
Nice place, good menu, good food friendly servers.
I LOVE this place. Mackenzie and Megan Mac are amazing. I drive here from Mississauga about once a week these days simply because the girls are so kind to chat with, and they make the best espresso martinis Ive ever had in my life. Theyve known my usual since my second visit and have always given the best, friendliest, professional service. Hard working girls always kill it. Cant wait to try the brunch, which theyve told me is amazing... Still get the espresso.
Went for my moms birthday, took about 15 minutes for a server to arrive. Only one person came between and asked is someone serving you yet and we said no. She asked if we wanted a drink but we already had drinks so we said no That was it. 15 minutes pass and we mention this to her as she passed by and she said well I already asked if someone came over to you. No apology or anything. My mom and aunt enjoyed their food at least, my vegetarian linguine was bland. Server asked if food was good and I said sure but wanted to get pepper to see if it was better it wasn t. I only ate maybe not even half of it and we told her about it but all she said was sorry and it was still on the bill. She didnt seem to care at all. Never going back.
Terrible service, rude waiters
My husband and I stopped in at lil hops tavern for cocktails after dinner on our anniversary. Although it was a busy Saturday night, the service was amazing and the cocktails, even better! We will be back again soon. Shout out to Megan and her team!
Food was fine for the price. The service was quite slow despite a fairly empty dining room. Seems that they need more staff. Didn t bother with ordering desert + second drinks because the service takes so long. Unlikely I will be returning.
The food is excellent, but the presentation needs work. Ordered the steak, however its served in bowl on top of fries. The steak is partially sliced but you still need to cut it, which is hard when its in a bowl on top soft fries. Also no one at my table got a steak knife either. I ended having to use my hands and ripping it apart instead. Fries were VERY salty.
Stopped by for a cocktail and did not try the food. The atmosphere was relaxed with stimulating interactions between Bar staff and patrons. Will return to try menu items.
Celebrated my moms 60th birthday here with a party of 10. Service was wonderful, super friendly and attentive. However the food was just mediocre. Burger not cooked through, and hollandaise was different. I d go back for the service and atmosphere.
Let me start with a positive note, the service there is great but other than that nothing really impressive. We ve been a few times before COVID and it was a great experience, however, post COVID completely different experience. Here what we ordered; - mussel : worst I ever eaten, it seems over cooked and very thin, topped with a pork belly which was very awful. We ate the bread and left the rest. - Chicken lollipops: used to be golden color, fresh and tasty. However, it s completely different, it s a brown color, seems that it setting inside for quite sometimes. - Garlic shrimp: again not different quality than the rest, for sure not fresh and came out literally cold, again we ate the bread and left the shrimp which was way overcooked! - Lastly we ordered a fries as we wanted something to eat and don t want to take risk, we got kind of fries but doesn t taste fries topped with parmesan cheese, it taste ok but not fries, we looked at the menu and we found it s parsnip. Overall, worst food I ever eaten at any restaurant, my stomach really hurts and my wife also took Gravol afterwards definitely not going there again.
Perfect fit for its demographic
Love this restaurant! Great customer service and amazing food! Highly recommended!
Very good service, food is good if you are vegan. I am not so was decent but not great.
Great place, had the vegan flatbread and the non alcoholic erdinger and it was great. Large patio, lots of shade, friendly and helpful staff. Recommend it here for sure!
Great food, great service
I came out here for a mock tail (pregnant) with my family after Italy won the euro cup. Cars were honking driving by and we clapped as we are Italy fans. We got shouted at in an aggressive way in front of a few other people on the patio for us not to clap when they honked and was told this is not a sports bar by Austin. We instantly felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable, so decided to finish our drinks and leave. He wasn t even our server our server was great her name was Holly, even though it was just one drink that we got served. We would have stayed longer to order food and more drinks if we weren t treated the way he treated us. That is not a way to speak to customers. Very disappointed and thanks to Austin we will not be coming back! I will let my clients, friends and other family members know of this matter.
Was there for a quick drink..had the raspberry gin tonic drink was great
It was my first time there I was just passing through the town the locals were really friendly a lot of people saying hi I asked a few questions sparked a few conversations and everyone was nice the service at the tavern was really good so good that I went back last night with my wife but I was a little bit late getting there all the way from Pickering so we arrived about 10:23 p.m. not knowing that everything shuts down at 10:00 p.m. but I will be back because the service was good and everyone was very respectful hopefully well get the book a few shows up there and bring the whole band Jay Harmony and the Groove Sharks Torontos number one independent band.
Had a great Saturday lunch, service was awesome and food was fantastic.
Ordered 2 of the saddest looking charcuterie platters waste of 65$
Went to this spot for the first time and I was a bit skeptical. The menu was small but very inviting. I enjoyed the cocktails and the food was very good. I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant with friends it was a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon
Such a good and tasty food , strongly recommend
I really recommend this restaurant , i order fried chicken sandwich it was amazing I enjoyed every single bite of it , also staffs were amazing
Our family were finally able to enjoy a patio on a beautiful sunny day. We arrived and had sangria and wheat and blond beers which were good. Ordered the chicken poppers and mussels for appetizers which were good. For entrees, we ordered two ribeye steak dinners, the burger and penne ala vodka. Penne and burger were fine but the ribeyes were so disappointing and ridiculous! They were not ribeyes, they were fast fry beef at 2 cm thick. Yes 2 centimetres - why bother asking how we wanted it cooked, it didnt matter!! I really could not believe they served this as a ribeye at $33 each! We asked if they ran out of ribeyes and the waitress seemed surprised with the question but had no response. Weve never been to this restaurant before and wont be back. You need to do better.
Went there with family, once they brought food, my wifes suppreme chicken plate was hot but the chicken was almost cold. She asked server politely to warm it up. Server was very nice, apologized, took the dish inside to warm it up, after a couple of seconds manager came back with plate, very rude and unprofessional touched different places of chicken with bare hand and said it is warm enough for her!!!! And told my wife that she has to eat the food. We got upset that she was touching her food with her hand while standing at our table in front of other customers. My wife told her why touching her food. while she was keep touching the food said whether my wife eats the food or not she wont bring anything else and we have to pay for it. That was so rude, impolite, unprofessional act. We havent seen nor heard of such behavior before. Never go back
Friday October 29, my buddy and I stopped in a for drink for the first time. It was right before last call so we sat at the bar and ordered a couple old fashioneds. By far the best Ive ever had. The bartender was so pleasant to deal with and is clearly passionate about her trade. While we were enjoying our drinks, we talked to her about the blood moon cocktail and decided to order a couple of those. They were absolutely amazing. I wish I caught her name because she definitely deserves recognition for her professionalism, skills and personality. Truely made our experience memorable. Couldnt recommend this place anymore. Go grab a couple drinks, you wont be disappointed. Cant wait to go back.
personable service, cute interior and really delicious food! try the parsnip fries, they were quite good.
And and
Great service, excellent food at a good price. I highly suggest the Chicken Lollipops and Parsnip Fries. I came with 2 others and we were going to share food and they brought out the dishes we ordered one after another instead of all at once which was nice. They also gave just long enough of a gap after each dish.
Great food and drinks, perfect for sharing
I love going to LBH for drinks! Food is delicious and staff is always very friendly!
Love the atmosphere and staff. Very friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
Has a small menu bud adequate choice. Each dish tastes unique and has its own twist to it.
Not cheap but a pretty cool place and menu.
Amazing food and great service. The share plate concept is great for a couple. Service is excellent. I am always happy I chose this place for dinner. Relaxed beautiful atmosphere is a plus.
I ordered the Let It Brie french toast and it was amazing. It was paired with a wonderful mixed green salad with fresh fruits, and blueberries on top of the french toast. I think maple syrup should be on the menu with this item. But when I ate it with the maple syrup, it just made the dish that much tastier. Jessica was our waitress and she was great. I could tell they were very busy and she tried to push through and serve to the best of her ability. Sometimes we forget that waitresses are human too and as customers we need to be patient and graceful towards them even if the service is below our expectations. Overall, I highly recommend Lil Brew hops. The service, food, and drinks are always fresh, exciting, and flavorful. Well done!
We visited this place on Saturday for brunch. The waitress was very kind to check the ingredients for me making sure my avocado toast is vegan. She went above and beyond and I am very thankful. Food was fresh and great.
The hostess really tough and not friendly at all. We walk in with 3 kids at 3.35 pm and kick us out because her dinner menu is start at 4:00 pm and she cannot accommodate. If she was smart let us to sit, give us a drink and the time for her dinner will be up. But......We will not comeback dont worry.
Our third time going to this place. We got there at 7:30 tonight and they had a table for two for us (didnt have reservations). It was a busy Saturday night. The place has a warm and cozy feeling to it. Menu is well diversified with meals from different countries and portions meant to be shared. We ordered: Spanish Garlic Shrimp, tasted fantastic! Stuffed Peppers, with brown rice and beans Ox tail for main course, was mildly spicy with various beans and rice, delicious! Dessert, grilled banana split, was worth the calories Something I liked about the food was that it wasnt too salty as I experience with most other restaurants usually. Our server Dominic took good care of us and even though he wasnt Persian he started speaking in Persian with us! We were floored as he didnt just know a few words, he was carrying a conversation. We had a good few chuckles with him. Overall it was an experience that is well worth having again due to the specialty food, service was prompt and pleasant, and the atmosphere was such that we didnt want to leave...highly recommend!
Great atmosphere and amazing food. Sharing plates is what makes this place different. You need to try the fries!
Wow. I am very impressed. Great staff amazing food definitely coming back.
Went there 2 weeks ago. The whole restaurant had changed. The menu was awful, only pub style food however the selection was very minimal. They removed all the shareable items and no longer have flights of wine.
The chicken sangy is next level
Amazing cocktails, food, service and vibe. Even ordering in is really great. Support this restaurant during covid closures and keep them in business!
So good! The Pablo Pistachio cocktail keeps me coming back. If the owner is reading this, you cannot afford to lose the inventor of that drink. She has magic within her. Promotions are in order!!!
Great assortment of beverages
First time going and absolutely loved it! A (not so) hidden gem on Main Street. Food was delicious, drinks were great and service was not only fast but the servers were exceptionally friendly and knowledgable about the menu and drink mixes! 100% recommended!
As first timers, we came with a group of 4, were sat fairly quickly and our server was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered a charcuterie board for the table, 3 beers, 1 Moscow Mule and a Red wine & cheese pairing. the charcuterie was great, they offered more bread, free of charge, which was a nice plus. The Moscow Mule was super refreshing and we would go back again just for that. Atmosphere was nice, the tables arent too close together either. The red wine pairings were alright, we really only enjoyed the chianti, and I would have liked to provide input to the server on the type of red wine I enjoy. The cheese pairings were quite small and I wouldve liked a few pieces of each to get as much out of the flavour as possible. Overall a great experience and we will be back.
Kinda pricey. Food is good but not amazing. Good atmosphere if you want to go drink up and enjoy some decent food. Noisy and busy so be prepared
always a special place. Service is great.
Excellent food, wonderful ambiance and friendly service.
Great atmosphere. Excellent food!!!
Their mixologist was on-point. They were extremely knowledgeable, and the appetizer pairings were spectacular.
Amazing service, Abbi was very knowledgeable about the menu, wine and offered fabulous suggestions so that our courses complimented each other. We had a fabulous bottle of wine with the Eggplant Escabeche, which had a kick of spice to it that was not mentioned in the menu. Sweet Onion Bhaji, Harvest Vegetable Salad and finished with liquors and a Chocolate Almond Cake. I will definitely be back!
This place has great tapas. the service is top notch. I love their food, their wine list and their selection of craft beer. Great addition to Main St.
Great brunch
If youre looking for a good place for brunch on the weekends come here. Great fresh local foods and good service. Try the Benny.... Youre welcome.
Excellent food, great atmosphere enjoyed with good friends
This is a good quality place - the quality of the food is very consistent, the tapas menu is very creative, and the service is excellent. There are times when they are very busy, and the table arrangements mean there are some tables that are not as nice to sit as others. A great place for a date or a family evening.
Best food in Newmarket! I have never been disappointed here.
Great place for drinks and food. Lovely atmosphere.
Incredible resto in downtown newmarket. Hubs and I went for our first night out after having a baby and it was absolutely perfect. The place was quirt, the server incredibly attentive, and the food absolutely insanely delicious. We seriously recommend the lamb bolognese. And we were stuffed for 100$!
Food, beer and service are top notch. Intimate atmosphere.
WORST EXPERIENCE and service we have experienced in a very long time. First of all, we dined with our 10 month old son and had to change him in our car because they don t have change tables!!! (Who doesn t have change tables these days?!!) Secondly, it took over 20 minutes for our drinks to come and the bartender was VERY rude about it when we inquired about the hold up..Finally, our food ended up coming about 2-3 minutes after our food arrived. I don t suggest this place for families.. not a family friendly place and bad service!
Great food, service could have been better. My fathers order was wrong, they realized the mistake, said they would fix it and never did.
Awesome eggs benny!
Fantastic quality cocktails. Although they are on the pricey side, you can see the love and creativity put into crafting each drink.
We visited the week that Lil Brew Hops debuted their new summer menu and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed 3 phenomenal dishes - a seafood salad, a field greens salad and a most excellent chicken skewer dish. The chicken topped our list with its spicy hummus deliciousness, but our whole meal was really excellent. Their mixology menu is also amazing and we enjoyed some wonderful cocktails. The price point is a little higher than some but the overall experience was worth the money! Will visit again soon
I like it a lot but hungry is slightly better for me
Great decor! Excellent cocktails and a really nice vibe. A definite Main Street gem.
Great food, really cool bar, awesome staff. Best Old Fashions in York Region
Great brunch menu. Sat out on their nice patio definitely a nice spot in downtown Newmarket
Great food and selection of cocktails, wine and beer.
Mussels were outstanding
Very Good!
Great local pub, great food!!!
Loved it!! First time here. Our server took the time to walk us through everything and was amazing at recommendations. Its a tapas place and two of us went and had a great time. They have signature drinks and they should definately be tried. Small and welcoming patio. Totally recommend for drinks and apps after work or just a nice evening out.
Amazing food!
Love this share-plate style restaurant. Delicious food. Lovely drinks. Great wine list. Always a 10/10.
Went with my sister today and we loved it! We ordered a whole bunch of food and a few drinks each. Everything was amazing and we loved our server clay! He knew a lot about the product and was super charming. Ill Definetly have to make it back again!
Amazing appetizers and great staff! Always great with recommendations!
Great place for brunch. Havent had dinner there yet, but I hear its good.
Amazing service. Carlie the bartender & only server in handle the restaurant fantastically. Flawless service with nothing wrong. Food was fantastic as always!
First time here. Sarah our server was amazing. Food selection for brunch and portion sizes was fenominal. Definitely going to be my regular go to. Well done Foh and Boh Great job!
Food and atmosphere were amazing. Came for bunch on Sunday and Irie Grilled Cheese with Tater Tots was an absolute hit!
Service is not good, food is amazing. Great location but terrible service. Water is never filled unless asked and it was such a tease!! They left a bottle full of water on the table, after we filled our glasses, they took it away. Ugh!!! Reccomend the chips and dip, it comes with a nice surprise deep fried meat. Its a lovely spot for patio and casual drink :)
Was there last night to celebrate my friends birthday. The three of us decided to get the Chefs Selection and ordered vegetarian. The food was amazing ~ every single dish outdid the one before it! And our server, Ivy, was outstanding. Will definitely return!
You never go wrong with Lils Brew Hops. I enjoy most of the dish we ordered, I extremely love chick lollipop, very tasty with the sauce. but the stuffed chicken wing was not taste good, had some wired flavor. not bad, just didnt taste fresh. But I will come back regularly for those mouth watering dishes.
Bizarre bar manager. We were sitting at the bar trying to have lunch and were ignored while he spent over an hour primping and showing off to two attractive women at the bar. Never had such an odd experience. We will never go back.
Great mixology bar, a bit expensive but well worth it!
Good food and great fun! It was a great experience
Great Food.
We hosted a birthday dinner here for 15 and the staff was incredibly flexible and accommodating. Majority of the party selected the Chefs choice which was no disappointment. The variety and quality of food was great. Everyone enjoyed their meals and experience. We ll be back !
Always a fan, great weekend brunch.
Great food and friendly staff. One of the best burgers Ive had, simple and delicious.
Everything was really good
Very white collar.. would not go unless you enjou seafood
Great atmosphere; delicious Old Fashioneds!
Great atmosphere, great food from local vendors. Staff were very friendly. My only complaint is that they will not separate bills for large groups, so our large group was forced to do the math on our own from a provided bill. Slightly irritating after spending the money we did.
We did the $45/person option to taste the menu. HighlyHrecommend. Service was great food was amazing. You will enjoy it!
Wow, just wow. We decided to place our faith into the hands of the chef (didn t know that to order ;-) ) , and he just blew our heads. Great food, superb cocktails and amazing service.
Whether its for a quick bite or group dinner, this place is amazing! Fresh and unique menu with various vegitarian choices, trendy cocktails and pleasant staff.
I love everything about this place! The service, cocktails, food, ambiance and most importantly their brunch! Truly a gem here in Newmarket, and the location on Main Street is pretty cool too.
We used Lil Brew Hops for our wedding dinner and they went above and beyond for us. Megan helped us plan everything and was beyond helpful. The evening couldn t have gone better and it was exactly as discussed. Our guests keep bringing up how great the whole night was. If you re planning any type of event this is a fantastic venue. Thank you so much to Lil Brew Hops!
One of the best meals Ive had in 2018 so far. The homemade gnocchi was a table favourite and paired very well with the 2016 De Loach pinot noir. Dont skip the gnocchi. Get some chicken lollipops to go with it. You wont be disappointed.
First things first they DO NOT split bills. This is supposedly because of their tapas inspired menu. Either say you dont want to split the bill because youre lazy or your system cant handle it - not splitting the bill does nothing to improve your tapas atmosphere, just frustrates your patrons, especially when you dont tell them until the end of their meal. Secondly, drinks were great and they had a creative selection of cocktails. Food was OK - nothing special for its price point. Server also did a mediocre job of explaining what each dish was, beyond reiterreite its menu description. Might go again to give them a second chance.
After coming here when it first opened, I was very impressed with the chefs choice course meal. Coming back nearly two years later, Im sorry to say it was not the same. It was a carb overload, with little consistency from plate to plate in terms of style of food. It was all over the place. The staff did everything in there power to keep me happy, which I appreciate. You have great staff. Truly. Personally I would not try the chefs choice again, however Im sure the tapas and individual items are very good. I have a four star even though I think this time it was a 3 at best, because the first time I was here it was a 5.
Had a great Belgian beer and a non traditional salad nicoise on a patio, in front of the restaurant. The salad was a great blend of flavors and textures. Our server was very friendly and the service took a reasonable amount of time. Ill eat here again.
Had the Cheese plate and guest had the shashusk( flat bread with roasted veg and hot sauce. Excelent!
Chefs special dish was awesome. Great service, local hoppy beers - love it. Me and my wife are definitely coming back
Great place to eat. Loved my beer sampler. Excellent service and great food. Definitely will come here again when in Newmarket.
Friendly staff, pricey, food is great! Took a friend here to stall before a surprise party we planned for her.
Outstanding! Pick the dealers choice and let the chef decide. Theyll take spectacular care of you. Exceptional food and cocktails.
Good brunch spot. Chocolate banana waffles a large portion. Good salad with the eggs Benny.
A favourite for share plates, cocktails and casual dining
Amber and her team were phenomenal arranging to have our group of 8, and when 1 person had to cancel - the team accommodated the pre-ordered menu graciously! The food is consistently incredible. We will continue to host all of our guest here!
Love this place. Never disappoints. Cool vibe. Themed nights. You have to order chefs choice...i have it every time. Instead of getting 2-3 plates, the chef chooses a plethora of dishes and they just keep coming...only thing is everyone in your party/table has to order it. Best value for your dollar.
The food is fantastic 5
