Perfect place for a night out with the girls! We went for dinner and there was still plenty of tables open. I loved the flatbread! The atmosphere is classy and cute. Came back with my husband once or twice on a weeknight for appetizers and drinks at the bar. It was dead still and that worries us because he now also considers it one of his favorite places. read more

Food was fantastic snd out food was delicious. We split the Triple Berry and it melted in your mouth. In all the years we have been coming here not once have we had poor service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. God bless the owners Cheryl Gemignani read more

Lovely restaurant in the heart of of downtown Plainfield. We ordered chicken skewers, pot roast sandwich and Beef Brisket Sandwich with egg. Food was delicious and our favorite was the chicken skewer's appetizer dish. Flexible with food allergies and plenty of Gluten free options. Restaurant was clean with had good outdoor seating. Service was excellent. Thank you read more

We wanted to check this place out Saturday night for dinner but I don't have much to say about this place. We only stayed for one drink and right after ordering appetizers we decided to tell our waitress to make does to go! We realized after sitting down this place was way to load for us. I couldn't hear my daughter and wife when I asked what they wanted to drink or eat. So I realized this was gonna be a terrible night if we stayed and not have a conversation at dinner. Can't say the appetizer were good because I didn't get to taste them, it I did order a vodka and pineapple drink and that was delicious. So hopefully next time around we have a better experience here and check out their food. I know it not their fault so we will give this place another shot one day. read more

I was so excited to come here. Looking forward for a few weeks .. Unfortunately it was horrible And let me tell you this restaurant is beautiful from the mirrors on the wall to the chandeliers on the ceiling even the tables were beautifully dressed.. but as the old rule says don't judge a book by its cover.... So let me start this review. I ordered the Asian salmon salad. .First of all it said artisan lettuce It was served with spinach which I cannot have and that piece of salmon. No flavor, not even any color could have at least grilled it.. I did send the salad back to have it remade with romaine but it came back with a long black hair. Disgusting ...Their appetizer Brie with phyllo dough raspberry topping with apples was actually good. Of course the phyllo dough was soggy but the cheese was melted It is a good concept I'm not sure how you would execute a crisper dough.. The stuffed mushrooms were good also Tempura battered with cream cheese filling.....Buratta ravioli with honey butter Rosemary sauce was decent... Now this is where it gets messy. I ordered the chicken piccata... I've had many variations of this dish but this was like Alfredo sauce with no cheese and they're pan fried chicken You couldn't tell it was pan fried. It's supposed to be lightly battered. I don't know. I don't even know where it went wrong. It just was wrong.... Now I get it, every restaurant has their own recipe... But the menu specifically says butter lemon caper sauce that is not what it was in. And if it had butter it lost the flavor with too much flour, it wasn't lemony, you had to add the lemon to it with a half a lemon that was on the plate.... So this was a no-go for me... Maybe it was a bad day for the cooks. Unfortunately as I've said before, In a lot of my reviews. "You have one chance to make a good impression" read more

HopScotch & Vine - Chicken Piccata - New American Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

We had a wonderful birthday dinner here, on our first visit and we'll be back! H&V is centrally located with street parking around the neighborhood, but I can see parking being an issue on weekends or summer nights. Once inside, guests are welcomed by a fresh, black-and-white, modern, upscale, homey motif. Staff welcomes you the same way -- professional, bright, friendly, attentive voices. You want to be here. As you enter, you're in the front dining room with the bar across from the front door. It's a great view and sets the tone. There was plenty of energy at h&v on a Monday night. We were shown to the back dining room which had an even more dining room vibe and no bar vibe, and that was just fine! In fact, in the back room it's easier to have a quiet conversation. By luck, we were first attended to by Casey, the owner, who is as charming as she is beautiful. That just continued to set the tone of feeling that you're in someone's personal dining room for dinner. The menu is very easy to follow, with the right amount of choices for each course. Just enough to give you choices of proteins and flavors, few enough that they can be experts at each and not too many that it's an overwhelming choice or that the food is likely to fall into too much to manage for a kitchen staff. Everything was interesting, unique twists on things, and I'll leave that to you to review the menu here on Yelp. We did not take alcohol but we were presented with the drink menu on a tablet. Casey eventually handed us off to a new server, a young gentleman who is very polite, professional and friendly. He was not familiar with the menu items yet, but that's okay, we all start a new job at some point. Our bacon wrapped chicken skewers appetizer arrived quickly, hot, and very nicely done. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and you could tell it was a high quality bacon. Four skewers, each with two bacon chicken nuggets, was the right size for two people. Unfortunately, our main course, or entrees, was delivered within five minutes after our appetizer arrived. We didn't even have a chance to take our first bite of the appetizer. I suppose in one sense, it was a little annoying, but in other sense, it was nice that the kitchen was so attentive. For dinner, we had chicken piccata on a penne pasta and fish and chips. My cousin said the piccata was flavorful and tender; I observed the chicken to be moist and modestly dressed and likely enjoyable. I had homemade fish and chips, and the cod was definitely flavorful and the hand breading had a slightly more than subtle interesting spice, it was crispy, and absolutely not oily -- certainly something I'd order again. The standard french fries on the side were tasty enough but could have been a little more exciting. The coleslaw was decent, run-of-the-mill coleslaw. My cousin was presented with a really nice, hefty slice of an Oreo cookie cheesecake for his birthday. He was very happy and said it was good. Out the door, we felt we paid a very fair price for a very good dinner and outstanding customer service in a most pleasant environment. H&V is an energetic, bright, comfortable place to share a lovely meal. read more

Great service and ambiance. Ample food and drink options. The food was delicious!! This was a birthday celebration and we will definitely go back again. read more

The service was great. My son and myself got the New York strip. I ordered mine rare. Didn't come out rare but the quickly fixed that. Also I'm used to that. No restaurant wants to actually make a rare steak despite you telling them you actually want it text book rare. The veggies were probably the best grilled vegetables I've had at a restaurant. The decor was cute and I loved the atmosphere. I loved everything about it. Only complaint was from my son who wanted regular A1 sauce and they gave us the bold and tasty sauce. lol. But also agree that it's gross. read more

We went here two weeks ago for a birthday party and sat in the main area. The decor and ambiance was lovely. Our server was lovely and everyone enjoyed their meal. We went there again for Valentine's Day and were sat in their back room. Night and day. The back room decor was dark , haphazard and uncomfortable. Not at all what we expected. The prix fixe menu had several options, unfortunately all our picks were boring and bland. The filet was cool and not cooked to medium well, the broccoli was cool and lobster was tepid. Not at all worth the price and very disappointing from our previous experience. read more

Really tasty food in downtown Plainfield. We shared a butch of different items and enjoyed the flight of sangria. The baked Brie and hummus were delicious. The calamari had a little kick- really good. Service was great read more

Started with a fresh and tasty Caesar salad. Followed by the spinach and artichoke pasta that was delicious! I had the Bramble cocktail and it was very refreshing. My husband had the chicken piccata. It was great too. I have an onion and garlic allergy. They were very accommodating. Great service. You should definitely try this restaurant. read more

Amazing food, great service, cool decore. Tonight was our 1st trip here. I'll post pictures of whatI had. It was well enjoyed by my whole party. They have a kids menu and kids are welcome. Parking can be tough but other than that no down side to going here. We made reservations and were seated pretty fast when we arrived. On to the food - Pimento Cigars - very good, they were the size of eggrolls. I wish there were more of a cigar size, it was kinda a mess to eat but still very good. Old Fashioned to drink - good, But all drink prices are "downtown prices" it was $12 Texas burger for dinner - the best burger I had in a long time. read more

Cute little restaurant in downtown Plainfield! Love the vibe here, and the food is delicious! Definitely suggest the spinach artichoke dip or bruschetta as starters. You can't go wrong with a salad, pot roast sandwich, or fried chicken sandwich for your main dish! Also love their drink selection! read more

Went to the library and decided to check out this place for a lite lunch and enjoy the beautiful summer day! The server was good. I had the champagne cosmo which was very light and refreshing! Then for lunch had the Billy Goat flatbread which consisted of goat cheese, carmelized onions, spinach mushrooms. It was cooked to perfection. The flatbread was so crispy and salty but not too much and the onions added the perfect sweetness. The goat cheese was a good amount of creaminess and tang. Great outdoor place right on the corner of DTP. I went at a very laid back time but I'm sure this place gets busy so you might want to check for reservations. Overall, nice ambiance too :) read more

I have been here 2 times and have not been disappointed! They have very comfortable seating inside and outside and the wait staff is always accommodating. They have great cocktails and delicious French fries. I had the crispy tofu sandwich and it was SO tasty. I had to eat pretty fast because we brought our 7 month old along with us, but I highly recommend for a cute lunch date. read more

The food looks great in pictures, but is not all that. It's way too expensive to be bland/boring.

Great patio area - super comfy seats and umbrellas for shade. Service was friendly. I had the pimento cigars - pimento cheese, beef, in a wonton wrapper. They had a lot of flavor. I enjoyed them but would only get if I'm sharing them. I decided to have them for my meal. I also ordered a side of risotto - it was delicious. Would definitely get this again. My friend had the chicken piccata. It looked so good! I think I'll try this next time. The chicken was a nice thin cut which I like. To drink I had a strawberry basil spritzer. It was good! read more

Mother's Day brunch, selection was fine and food was normal. The issues were with the service, the hostess didn't know the prices for children, which was fine because we had a flyer. She never once mentioned an automatic 20% gratuity. At the end of the meal when we got the check I asked our waitress if auto gratuity was for party's over a certain #. Our bill says 8 guest but we were 4 adults 3 kids, which is what we were billed for. She was automatically rude and just said if you have issues talk to the manager. Then she came back with a new bill removing a child's meal. The principal of taking a 20% gratuity with no mention of doing so beforehand is what's wrong. It's a buffet, we served ourself. Even had to get our own coffee. Her service was poor when asked for hot sauce, there was none?? Kids asked for strawberry lemonade but she couldn't make it. Said they couldn't do it. No refills on the mimosas. We were satisfied with the meal and okay with ignoring the poor service up until the bill came. Waitress tried to say it was at the bottom of the flyer but nowhere does it mention automatic 20% gratuity. read more

Selected this quaint restaurant to meet a friend for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I arrived first and told the host that I was waiting for my friend who was running late. Another group of people came in and left. When that same group of people returned about 15 minutes later, they were told that that the private event was still going on and there were no available tables nor staff to support any additional guests. NOT ONCE WAS I INFORMED OF THIS.!! When my friend arrived, I told her the situation. I asked the host why she did not inform me of this when I first arrived? She said that she should have and apologized but said it in a very disingenuous tone. Will not patronize this restaurant in the future. read more

The power went out twice I came an hour before closing and I hate doing that at places but my waiter Rudd was amazing he powered through the steamer was not working on the cappuccino machine so he ran around looking for some milk and he was just so polite and he was on time and he was always there when I needed something I loved actually when the power went out because it made it very romantic so I think you guys do date night sometimes but anyways the food was great we got the spaghetti and the candy cob the baked brie and the chicken skewers and they were amazing the baked bree was a little cold in the middle but that was the first time I ever had it so maybe I just didn't know what I was eating read more

HopScotch & Vine - Baked brie and chicken skewers - New American Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

I was very excited to come here with our friends, but I was very disappointed. Our waitress was rushed and seemed like she didn't want to spend any time at our table, she didn't come back to check on us and we had to try to call her back from rushing away to get a refill on our drinks. My husband ordered the pot pie on the specials menu and it was undercooked and soupy. The sauce was broken and the crust was mushy. My Caprese chicken sandwich was bland and had no flavor. There was one little sad basil leaf on it and a little balsamic that bun soaked up and you could not taste it at all. The chicken was also so dry. My seasonal veggies were cold and had no seasoning. The decor looked great, but unfortunately the service and food were not. read more

HopScotch & Vine.... I'm breaking a rule by doing a review on my first visit, but you were that good! To start with, my trusty Yelp application allowed me to make reservations, how cool is that? How great is it to go out and not have parking be a problem? Yep, downtown Plainfield deserves Kudos for having plenty of free parking. There is on the street parking and free lots too. From the well lit parking lot to the restaurant was a short walk.... even the streets are pedestrian friendly, making crossing one easy and safe. When entering HopScotch & Vine we were promptly greeted by a hostess and escorted to our table where our server Rachel met us with water, menu's and a tablet that had the wine list, numerous drinks and the desert menu too. My lovely bride ordered a glass of Red Zinfandel, and for myself a Brandy Old Fashioned. Within a blink of an eye, Rachel returned with our before dinner cocktails. Dinner was off to a terrific start with great service and drinks. For appetizers we ordered the house salad and the shrimp cocktail. Both were excellent! The photograph of the shrimp cocktail is missing two shrimp, because it looked too good to wait until after taking the picture. For our main courses, we both ordered the Filet ala Hopscotch, an aged Black Angus Beef topped off with blue cheese butter & onion straws with loaded baked potato and vegetable du jour. Sorry, no pictures of the steaks, you will just have to take our word that they were excellent! In fact we brought a little home for our two boxers Woodson and Lola and they swear it was excellent too! The only reason this isn't a five star review is that the desert menu was limited because they ran out after Valentines Day, and were out of decaf coffee for my wife. We did have an excellent carrot cake, and they did substitute the decaf coffee with a decaf latte for my wife. If management reads this review, Rachel was an excellent server and we are looking forward to our next visit to your establishment. read more

So disappointed got Spinach Artichoke Penne and added steak.... Let's start with the basic of the pasta artichokes should have been grilled artichokes in there NOT A ONE was in this pasta it was like they threw spinach in Alfredo sauce that had no flavor at all. Second the $6 add on steak to the pasta I got 6 tiny chard crispy pieces of steak.... For 6 bucks wow .. the garlic bread was just nothing but toasted French roll no butter no garlic nothing. For $16 bucks for a tiny portion and really nothing special. Idk if I'll ever go back my husbands food was so terrible he got the chicken piccata that it ended up in the garbage along with mine before I was able to take a picture. Idk if they do it crappy because it's delivery but man. read more

Although the name brings you in, there is nothing that I was served to keep me here, although the service was good, I will not be back.

It's sad to say that you think you would enjoy a good lunch and a drink on a nice sunny day sitting outside. But, unfortunately, when you have waitresses that don't make you feel welcomed and instead they make you feel like your bothering them, that's bad business! No one wants to deal with cranky waitresses that can't even put a smile on their face knowing that not only us customers are making their pay check but bring the business. SMH I will never bring my family nor friends here again. And word does get around. read more

Nice for four for early dinner and some happy hour. The decor is comfortable and the staff was pleasant. The prices were more urban than the location. Here's the details: Pepsi, 2.5 Sonoma Chardonnay, glass, 11: the GF said this was a good value Manhattan, dry, rye, 14.5: a little heavy on the cherry juice Bruchetta flatbread, 11: rich, good Pot roast sandwich, 14: the diner liked it a lot; available with roasted sweet potato side TOTAL, 100.75 read more

I was here once before and had a good experience so was excited when my daughter picked this place for my grandsons graduation dinner. Unfortunately, yesterday was not the same experience I had previously. My husband tried to order a few different red wine that was on the menu only to be told they didn't have it. He ended having to get white wine for $20 a glass (which is ridiculous) that he is not a fan of but oh well. Then he ordered the shrimp pasta and when it came out it looked like soup and only had a few pieces of shrimp. My niece ordered the same thing and they both said it was bland with not taste. Needless to say my husband was not happy and said he will never go there again. Upsetting since we try to support the local businesses. read more

From the distracted front of house staff to the no personality waitstaff, our Friday dinner didn't begin well. But, the stuffed mushroom appetizers were really good and offered hope. Our main courses however were lackluster. Chicken Piccata was just ok while the Shrimp Scampi professed to be "Oodles of Shrimp" where apparently 1/2 dozen tiny shrimp is to be understood as "oodles"? The taste was good but otherwise not outstanding. Frankly, I'd rather see 4-5 Extra-Large shrimp to make this dish presentable. We've gone here a number of times over the years and probably won't be coming back. read more

We stopped by this place because it looked super cute from the outside. We had gone wedding dress shopping next door and were starving. When you first walk in you are greeted by a hostess. She seemed bothered there was 6 of us, even though the place and space was empty. She was smacking her gum and just looking at us before she even got us seated. Our food was good, but I can't forget about the rude service. We won't be dining here again. The additional star was only because our food was good. read more

My wife and I go out 2-3 times a week. Hop Scotch and Vine is a place a little out of our way, but we go for a special meal. By which I mean prepared by a competent chef. It didn't happen, the chicken Florentine soup was globby (like it had gelatin) and my tortellini with browned butter had a great deal of sugar in the browned butter. Definitely not cuisine. The noise level was largely acceptable, but interrupted by our waitress who would scream out her observations on life and pollute the environment (H,S&V - you know who I am talking about). Happened a number of times. Overall experience bad enough that we won't return for a meal. read more

Went there for the first time to try them out with my wife who has a broken foot in a cast and broken shoulder in a sling. There were 2 empty 4 seater tables outside. They told us they cannot sit 2 people at a 4 person table. What restaurant turns customers away? Like I said this was my first time going there...we left...and I will never go back. I will not give my money to any place that treats people like that. There are many other local, family owned establishments that deserve the money or customers more than them! read more

Last minute decision for 9 people and we were fully accommodated. Limited menu selection. The Brie appetizer was phenomenal! Delish!

A very nice place, I would have l liked to have given a higher rating. Nice atmosphere in the dining room No televisions in the dining room I think that's great to not have the distraction of televisions everywhere. The room noise level was very low. Nice for a date night I ordered a steak. It was cooked exactly as I ordered. I was only disappointed that i wanted To order merlot wine was told the restaurant was out of merlot, I didn't care about what winery but to have none at all was a disappointment, also no bread or rolls served with the steak dinner, this is a nice place but the little details that were lacking made for a less than perfect meal Overall a very nice place The service was very good with an attentive staff read more
