When you first enter Hopfields from Guadalupe street you’re in the bar / lounge. On the Friday night we were there it was bustling and I was a bit worried. But the space is much larger than just that first room, and after following the hall a bit we were seated in a room in the back where we could have a wonderful date night meal with just the right amount of separation from the other diners including those in the nearby large party seating areas. Anna was pleasant, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of attentive. The food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the French onion soup, beet and ricotta salad, duck wings a l’orange, and lamb shank. Can’t wait to go back and try several other dishes.
