I've only heard fantastic things about HOP so my friends and I celebrated a birthday here.
Friday night is definitely super busy; the 4 of us waited about an hour for our table, but we didn't mind.... beer helps :D. They definitely have an amazing selection of beers on tap and a great variety of wines.
We were finally seated in the upstairs seating area (there's 4 tables for groups of 4-5 there) and got our orders taken fairly quickly. Food came a little slowly, but it didn't bother us. We ordered our own dishes and sampled around the table. The BBQ Pull Pork Sandwich was deliciously saucey...a little on the sweet and salty side, but with the bread it was fine. The side of fries it came with was just a fantastically huge artery-clogging portion. The Steak and Wild Mushroom Pie had the perfect crust but I found the filling much too salty. I did like the mash and veggies it came with.. but it wasn't the best I've had. I liked the Tortiere pie better. The meat filling had more spices and the jalepeno chutney had a sweetness that balanced the salty filling.
Service was good and waiters were friendly. They were a little slow (even after most customers had left), but I enjoyed it enough to come back.
5 stars minus 1 for the salt monster that invaded my pie.
