The only reservation we could get on 4th of July weekend was at 5:30 (not when we usually eat!) But we decided to go and have a cocktail beforehand and enjoy a leisurely dinner. Our server was so friendly and so awesome. She never rushed us or made us feel like we were lingering too long. Firstly, the limoncello spritz was so good, they should make it a regular on their summer cocktail menu. Second, the onion dip is crack (note: it has a lot of dill in it, so if you're a dill hater like my husband, you may want to pass). Being on the early side, I wasn't terribly hungry, so I just ordered the Caesar salad as my meal. It was quite good, very fresh and not overdressed, as many are. I asked for extra boquerones and our server graciously appeased me. My husband ordered the pork chop which was truly great - cooked perfectly, very juicy and super flavorful. This was our first meal at Hooper's Judge, but not our last. We will definitely be back, even if it has to be at 5:30. read more

This is my favorite new place in the South Shore. The restaurant has fun Boston Terrier (source of the restaurant's name) and speakeasy-like decor. And the food has been excellent the 4 times I've been there. I love the appetizer meatballs and make sure to get them every time. The lobster bisque is delicious. The deviled eggs are great. My kid really enjoyed the pub burger. I really liked the crunchy Shaved Caesar salad with salmon. The bananas foster french toast was amazing at brunch, as was the egg sandwich. The staff has been helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that they took the passionfruit-dressed oysters off the menu. Those were my favorite! read more

Hooper's Judge, I judge NOT! Does anyone care about food and guests anymore? Service? Experiences? Well, our first time here at Hooper's Judge was such a disppointment, and here's why! To start - Hooper's Judge is a newer establishment in Cohasset about 20 minutes from Derby Street Hingham. I was craving decent seafood to start off my birthday week and have been wanting to try this place. Street parking is not that bad and we were able to score a table without reservations on a Sunday evening which normallly never happens. Upon walking in the young hostess brought us to the sun drenched table which at first I was like "at least we have a table." After a few minutes gone by our server came over and asked what we wanted to drink? Mind you I asked her about a few of their wines and she had no idea of what they were. So she brought me a sample and I went with the California Rose and my husband had a cocktail. Also, the owner/manager who was drinking wine at the bar with her friends moved our table since the sun was beating down on us and it was very uncomfortable. First off I see so many warning signs with the owner drinking her wine at the bar------NO Manager or Owner should ever be drinking on the job PERIOD! I know its brand new, but you should have a shade or something to block out to sun for guests because we were not the only ones complaining. In the middle - After awhile went by we ordered their Shredded Ceaser Salad to split. What was nice is they brought 2 separate plates over but not enough dressing and we never saw our server again to ask for more. Service I will say was not the best, but I feel like she was the only server to attend to all the tables. The End - Our dishes arrived and my Salmon was overcooked (btw I did order at first the Swordfish but seconds later my server came over saying it was sold out). She took my dish back, apologized and then a few minutes or so later MY SAME DISH CAME BACK with a different perfectly cooked Salmon. Know how I know? One of the Asparagus was missing and half of it was still on my plate___GROSS. Isn't this a food violation? That is so gross and if the Manager/Owner wasn't drinking (on the job) her wine she would know what was happening in her kitchen and on the floor and she would care what the outcome was but I guess NOT. You should be a shame or yourselves to serve food like this. The Manager did come over and apologize but that wasn't good enough. As a newly opened restaurant in the heart of a wealthy town Cohasset this shouldn't have happened and I will never be back...Ever. And, maybe you should think twice of coming here! What has happened with restaurants? Doesn't anyone care of food and guests anymore? I am sad that this happened to us and I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. I would go elsewhere if you can and hope that after this review things will change! read more

Solid 3.8-4.0 Very nice pub, solid menu of different selections as a pub would have it. We started with marinated, olives and deviled eggs. Olives 4.8 deviled eggs , I'd prefer the old fashioned way, not a fan of the red sauce on it for that I rate it a 2.9-3.0 My girl friend and I both had steak frites. Girl friend at med well rated it a 4.0 Mine med rare.. 3.5 , I wasn't a fan of The gravy my girlfriend liked it. Both steaks came out at the right temperature. Service was very good Friendly place We'll likely return say 1x a month or so Overall nice evening Bill was 140.00 that's with 1 local draft and 2 sparkling wines. read more

Delicious food, great service, great ambience. A wonderful evening out. We loved it! Caesar salad was delicious and so was the steak. Just go! read more

Food was ok, but very overpriced. Drinks very small for price. Server was short tempered and forget to bring the wine for one of our party of 4. Space is beautiful, especially on a nice night with large windows open to the street. This venue is LOUD, even on a week night. Overall a disappointing experience, especially since we had waited a long time to go since they are usually booked. We won't be back :/ read more

I got the food and the atmosphere was great. The people working there all the service people great.

The level of service and food at Hooper's judge is the best!! The decor is stunning. Brian and his staff go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience 10 out of 10 stars. Highly recommend Hooper's!!! read more

Food was excellent, and very interesting for the area. We had the pheasant pie and the boar ragu, with a starter of the pretzels. Fantastic, and excellent mabiance. read more

Four adults and a 2-year-old came in for an 11 AM brunch, and we left at 1:15. Our appetizers came out relatively quick, but it was over an hour after that before we saw our meal. Try keeping a 2-year-old occupied for 2-plus hours at a dinner table! Evidently, the waitress placed the order late, and once the place got busy, it was lost in the kitchen. The food was not great, and the manager, seeing we were there forever, never checked on us or offered any type of apology. Needless to say, we will not be going back! read more

The food was Decent, but the service as a whole was absolutely Terrible. A lot of menu items were not available, and simple questions like "What would you recommend?" Or "What on the menu is good?" Was met with complete indifference by the staff. We were there for dinner and it was clear the staff was just interested in serving drinks and bringing food was an unwanted chore. read more

Have been there twice and both times we've sat in the bar area. It's small and vibrant with lots of conversations happening simultaneously but honestly that's part of its charm. The restaurants atmosphere is warm and cozy. The service is attentive and knowledgeable but not overbearing. The food and drinks we've had have been fantastic. I would highly recommend making a visit and am looking forward to coming back soon read more

Excellent food, great atmosphere. Brunch and dinner have been top notch. Great drinks, great apps- we love this place!

We tried HJ for the first time for dinner, and we found the atmosphere cozy and attractive, but it was loud and crowded at the bar. We opted for a table which proved to be a bit quieter. The menu has limited entree options and 2 of them are game. They had a Wellie entree that was $50, seems steep for a small gastro pub. We opted for the burgers and a salad. The salad was fresh and flavorful; the burger was good but nothing special. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Im not sure we would return unless they change some of the menu options. read more
