    Absolutely inedible food. We ordered chicken and it had a weird texture. It was like eating plastic. I was super excited to try this place but hugely disappointed.

    Food delicious and service excellent. Been here twice now and both were great. It is expensive and when it gets crowded the noise level can get high but overall a great neighborhood place!

    Great ambiance and vibe, Nice small bar upfront. Long narrow restaurant, typical of NYC. Limited menu but all offerings are well prepared and delicious. Extensive (and mostly expensive) wine list but there are some values here and there if you look for them. Overall, well worth going back.

    While the backdrop at Hoexters is lovely and some of the food was very good (particularly the chicken), I was a bit disappointed with our overall experience. We arrived on time for our reservation for a late dinner. The bar area was very busy and hectic, so it didn't bother me that it took a minute to find our reservation. We were eventually seated in the room furthest back, which was perfectly fine. After about 5 minutes, I received a phone call from the hostess asking if I remembered I had a reservation. I replied that she had just seated us. She then said she was going to walk to the back to find us and asked that I wave at her, which I did - basically she did not believe we were there and was fairly condescending about it. After that we ordered a bottle of one of the house wines. The waitress showed us the bottle, then said she was going to go open it to make sure it wasn't corked - that seemed an odd thing to say, but we didn't question it. My daughter glanced down towards the kitchen and watched the waitress open our bottle, then offer some to another waiter. I didn't have her vantage point, so I was not aware of it as it happened and didn't say anything once she told me, because we were so taken back.
