Ok….having wanted to try this place for some time, we finally went. We sat out back in the garden which was very nice and the restaurant was very full. The service was ok, but they did forget to bring our wine until the middle of the meal. We also tried 2 of the martinis, but they were too sweet for us. Appetizers were the ceviche and the ravioli. Ceviche was ok but the other was just not doing it for us since it tasted similar to nut paste. Main courses were the tamale and the lasagna. The lasagna was interesting as it had some texture, but the tamale was like eating corn mush. Dessert we had the mousse and the carrot cake. Neither were impressive. Since my boyfriend and I are pretty big foodies, we are glad we tried this, but were craving a nice big burger right after the meal. Not a place we will be returning to.

I can’t really say too much about this place. I was struck by how bland the food was. The truth is that I didn’t find much that was unique about it. This was the kind of place where you go to once and quickly forget about.

hoebe’s is the perfect neighboorhood cafe redone; a calm, relaxing atmosphere with delicious food, the neighboorhood faces, and good values. Best of all, the food is all very good for you, without losing any of the flavor. It took me 3 or 4 visits to realize that the menu is completely California vegetarian (fish, no meat), without missing anything. Highly recommend the hummus platter, brie and apple sandwich, waffles with banana and walnuts and tuna “sammy.” Service can be a little slow, but the wait staff prepares the food, and I’ll gladly wait a few extra minutes.

Yes it’s enexpensive, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great deal. I have given this place a few chances and while I don’t care about the service (the place has less to it than a Diner) my problem is the food is really bland and generic. Aside from the great carrot dressing everyone talks about, nothing is too good. To get a plate of Yakisoba is going to cost you at least ten bucks after tax and tip and it is no better than lo mein from any corner chinese spot. The fries are tasty but what shoe string fires aren’t? The burger is a thin frozen patty cooked to death.
