The Hobbit

Amazing food with great service. Lovely explanation of each dish as well as great stories of the drinks. No complaints in any way

Second time we spend our anniversary here. Think months ahead to get a table, for good reason.

Always a wonderful magical evening with excellent food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!!

Came for a celebration dinner, and it was decent. We had a five course dinner. The Amuse Bouche had an interesting collection of five items, including beef tartar, and salmon mousse. Flavor was quite good, but the tortilla chip was stale. First course was bacon wrapped prawns. Really good prawn, but I wasn’t a fan of the bacon wrap, as bacon trumped out the shrimp flavor. The juice was quite good, I assumed it was cooked with shrimp oil. The sauce also had crunch pieces and a slightly overwhelming (I assume) garlic flavor and I wasn’t too big of a fan. Second course was lamb/goat raviolo. It was decent, nothing too much to mention there. Main course I got the filet mignon. Steak was cooked very well, and nicely seasoned. However I’m not too big of a fan of the carrot paste, felt a bit like baby food. Side veggies mushroom and zucchini were a little bit on the oily side. Desert was olive oiled cake. It was alright, I wish the filling in the middle would be different than on the top. Overall, it was a good experience, decent flavor, especially considering the price point. The waitstaff were very attentive. The downstairs wine cellar was slightly underwhelming, as it just felt like a basement with wine stored on the shelf. And the intermission was new to me. We had a break for a good while before the main course, and I’d only assume it’s because the kitchen couldn’t keep up with preparing the main all at the same time.

I took my daughter here and we had a amazing time the staff was great the food amazing, everyone was having a great time , it has changed a bit with the appetizer served at your table but doesn't take away anything from a wonderful experience, perfect place for a special occasion

I've never experienced fine dining before but I doubt it could get much better then this?

Dietary restrictions: They are able to accommodate people who do not eat pork.

Great dinner party feel. Lovely staff.

Reopened post renovations (2023). Open Wednesday through Sunday from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m. Reservations can be made on Open Table or by calling the restaurant directly. This is a six course prix fix menu. *** The hobbit as defined by Webster: a member of an imaginary race similar to humans, of small size and with hairy feet, in stories by J. R. R. Tolkien. The Hobbit restaurant is an elegant mansion sporting exceptional service. All seven gourmet courses were crafted by hand. Each bite imparted the sensation of us being worthy of Ambrosia and living atop Mount Olympus. Thanks to all the staff at the hobbit, to the chef and to our guests for an evening that will be pleasantly remembered for many years. Glad we saved up for the celebration.

As always the best dining experience in the OC!!!
