Hops And Vine - Emerald

This place was delightful! Was in Emerald for a day and had a spare hour before a flight, so popped in for a few drinks. The bartender (Amanda I think) made some amazing cocktails. I wish I could have stayed for longer to get through more of the cocktail list.

Very refreshing atmosphere and experience for Emerald! The food and cocktails were delicious while providing an impressive range of options. The customer service was excellent.The stand out options were the mushroom arancini, lamb ribs, and hummus naan. The sour candy slushie, salted caramel espresso martini, and lychee martini were great.

A nice little tapas bar that has a lot of potential but sadly food and drinks were a bit on the expensive side while not meeting any expectations. Other than the wonderful friendly, helpful and hospitable staff, I personally wouldn 't recommend. The pumpkin and feta arancini were nice but seemed defrosted/not anything special and seemed on the menu to fill a gap and the apple fritters were Fluffy but more doughnut than fritter. The salted caramel icecream I feel may have been a little over the top with the fritters along with the caramel drizzle. Lovely atmosphere and good music outside though.

Arinchini balls, best balls and sauce I've ever had in my mouth. guaranteed...Cocktails amazing tooRegular favourite, never been disappointment.

The restaurant offers a great selection of large small plates to share, and the service is very friendly. The only downside is that the seating consists of high stools!
