Fanastic food, service at Lopez. Wonderful ambiance. The complainers will always be the first to shout things down and the last to compliment....very child like....and not reliable information...

If a restaurant is good it gets good reviews--as of 2 weeks ago Hemmingways is a no go--we would go there once a week prior to going to NC in June, we we came back 2 weeks ago the menu is a totall loser and top shelf items are no longer covered during happy hour

Top shelf is under Happy Hour only at Happy Hour times.

Bonny I have to disagree with you @ Hemingway, we were told the only so called top shelf that was covered was Stoli-- they might have changed their attitude--the top shelf drinkers have gone to other places

I was told last week that top shelf was on happy hour only during the regular happy hour which I believe is 4 - 6.
House brands happy hour all day.

Most of my friends who drink top shelf liquor can afford to drink it, and do not go to happy hours because their drink of choice is Cheaper.

Actually, it doesn't really matter anymore because Hemingways has been sold. They are closing Saturday evening and reopening 9/8. The family that owns Red Sauce, Johnny Rockets and Amerikanos are the new owners.

We've been to the main restaurant at Lopez 8 times in 3 years.
Wonderful ambiance? I agree.
Fantastic service? They're batting .500.
Fantastic food? Wish I could agree, but I can't.

That's really good news, Bonny. That family has done a great job turning around their other restaurants. Should be a big improvement.
