Hopgoods & Co.

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Chef–owner Kevin Hopgood focuses on using regional produce and regularly wins national restaurant awards for this small, eponymously named bistro-restaurant. Along with the à la carte menu, Hopgoods offers a five-course degustation tasting spectacle. This dinner spot is likely to be busy, though the service is always attentive and discreet.
