Had dinner at Nopa earlier this week.
It was easily the best meal I've had this year. The food was excellent, service was perfect (even while the restaurant was packed to the gills) and the company was great. My buddy Travis was in town from Portland, so we were celebrating his new baby, and my new job. Cheers all around.
Highlights?
Anything with the house-cured bacon.
The warm goat cheese with crostini and pickled beets was pretty awesome too... and theoretically I hate beets.
Bauer gave 'em three stars, but in my book, four definitely. I think Nopa is my new favorite.
