 There’s a definite buzz going on at Pops for Champagne, and not only because of all the sparkling wine being served (120-or-so different varieties by the bottle and seven by the glass). Don’t know your cava from a prosecco? No worries since the well-trained staff does. Located in the historic Tree Studios building---Pops moved from its low-key Sheffield location after a 24-year run---this hotspot combines a Champagne lounge with a downstairs jazz club and retail wine shop specializing in---you guessed it---bubbles. Here, food plays a more prominent role. In addition to the raw bar menu (Kumamoto oysters, tuna tartare, Maine lobster), there also is a varied selection of Champagne-friendly cheeses and desserts. Of course, there’s caviar as well. But truth be told, it’s the small plates from chef Andrew Brochu, an Alinea veteran, that we’ve most thoroughly enjoyed. Go for the barbecue pork belly with rutabaga purée and the lamb flatbread with Brussels sprouts. Chocolate soufflé tart with white chocolate gelato and another glass of bubbly is a great way to finish. |
