Best Restaurants for Foodies in Hopkins

I celebrated a friend's birthday at Pizzeria Lola last night and we had the most lovely time. The server, Silas, the host, and the manager all checked in to make sure our birthday dinner was going well and we felt genuine kindness from each of them. My friend and I both have quiet voices but, despite the restaurant being packed, the din was quiet enough that we never had to repeat ourselves or lean in across the table to chat (something we both value highly in a restaurant). The Caesar salad was crisp and beautifully dressed, the Forager (mushroom) pizza was robust with umami flavor, and the custard-smooth vanilla soft serve ice cream was topped with a Thai tea caramel topping that nearly reinvented ice cream as a dessert for us. Before we left, we took photos in the photo booth and we were in such high spirits that we had an audience outside interested to discover who the women snort-laughing behind the curtain had been, lol. Thank you for being such a lovely place to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend. I told Kelly that we're coming back in December to celebrate mine! <3

The food was very good - much better than expected. Well presented and nicely prepared. I especially liked the Eggs Benedict made with shaved ham, as opposed to a think ham slice. I felt like it was more digestable, enjoyable, and even flavorful. The Avocado Toast was also very good, with radish and cucumber slices mixed in. My wife enjoyed it very much. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and nice. Really enjoyed the brunch, overall. Great neighborhood gem.

We have eaten at Mill Valley Kitchen several times before so when we were planning to meet with friends for lunch we suggested Mill Valley Kitchen. They also really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Our server was very good as well. We will return!

We eat here often and like the atmosphere and food. I love the beet salad. New desserts would be a nice change. The wait staff are very pleasant.

Very pleasant experience. Staff was always ready to help or get a drink. We plan to go there again. The money is the same as what I spend at the more traditional breakfast places. Staff was much nicer and I feel the food was better. Very much enjoyed the experience!
