Hops Test Kitchen

          I recently tried Hops Test Kitchen in Inman Square with a Gilt City deal for a seafood tower and bottle of wine for $65. It was a great deal! The tower included a selection of oysters, clams, shrimp, king crab legs, salt cod pate with made in house potato chips, and the crudo of the day.

          All of the seafood was delicious, and I was impressed at the quality for such a great value. I was equally impressed by the ramp butter, which our server explained is topped with sea salt from salt water collected personally by the Chef at various coasts throughout the area (our butter that night was topped with sea salt from Wells Maine).

 
          In addition to great food, Hops has a fun atmosphere and does a weekly trivia night. I definitely hope to make it in again soon to try more of the menu!
