I recently returned to Hopkins & was pleasantly surprised! The service and food my 2nd time was much better (my original rating was 3/5..now a 4/5). My friend and I sat the bar and started with delicious cocktails (I ordered a type of old fashioned which was good) and decided to do the 3-course tasting menu. We opted out of getting the wine pairing but had a glass w our main dish. The food was beautifully presented and delicious! I especially liked the tuna tataki & cornish hen. The tasting menu changes regularly & if you have strong preferences they will accommodate eg I mentioned I don't like rabbit & they opted out of that for my tasting. The only downside was that the portions are probably not big enough if you have a large appetite. If you are very hungry opt for the 5-course. For me the 3 course w a dessert after was perfect. So, I gave this restaurant a second chance and was happy I did!!
