Hoffman House Events — Restaurant in Rockford Township

Micheal Prosser, (owner) I'm sorry to give you 1 star, but you REALLY dissapointed my wife and I last night. We dressed up and went out for our 25 year anniversary looking forward to a nice quiet meal in that elegant atmosphere, some Hoffman house prime rib... mmmmmm delicious.

We got there, friday night.. plenty of parking, ...plenty of seats,.(Which seemed odd) ..Waitress seated us, i looked around.. place looked dead, except for some drunken dudes slurping beer in sweatpants. We browsed over your new shortened bar menu, i felt a tear, we saw the salad bar gone, and no steaks, and no prime rib on Friday night! (SAT ONLY) There is no longer a fine dining area, just loud TVS hanging everywhere. This was Not the etsablishment we'd visited for the last 25 years. We promptly walked out without ordering. (A bit embarrassing, I've never done that.)

You HAD a HIGHLY rated. well established rockford fine dining staple. NOW you have just another bar/hotel restaurant.

I get it, I read the news, you're focusing on your catering..... but did you really need to abandon this awesome restaurant to do so? What were...

Forgot to write this a couple weeks ago. So disappointed when we went (2/9/2024). When we walked in we saw 2 individuals taking a shot just outside the entrance. First I thought it was just some guests at the hotel. Later found out one of them was the bartender! She also closed out the bar early! 11:30 pm was last call. I would understand if we were the only customers. That wasn't the case. She literally told a group of people she was closing out early. A group of at least 6 people who were in no rush to leave. She told them they had to leave. Can't imagine how much money Hoffman house lost in just that group. So this bartender's name is Skylar. The bar at the time was no where to be closed. She just wanted everyone out so she could party somewhere else. I don't know how she was even standing that night. Like I said before she was already taking a shot when we walked in. She was clearly drunk while working. Hopefully the owners are keeping a close eye on her and watch the cameras, because you will find that I am not lying. I really like the place and I would not go back of she is...

Unfortunately nothing at all like it's former glory. A much more scaled down now situation. Completely different environment.

Did I eat breakfast/lunch there? Yes ! Was it worth it? Yes. Does Rockford have alot more options close by? Very much so, yes. Would you say the breakfast would be like that of a continental breakfast? Yes, with the exception that you don't get to go back for 2nds, & 3rds, & you have to pay for it, unlike...
