Dining room at Restaurant Eugene, Atlanta, GAAt Linton and Gina Hopkins' restaurant, named for his grandfather, a good wine list of half-bottle choices is as distinctive as many full-bottle lists in town, and there are numerous equally interesting options by the glass. Menu selections change daily, but you can expect to find many local products, such as Georgia white shrimp in season to Sweet Grass Dairy and Flat Creek Lodge cheeses, when available, and very fine grits. Southern sensibilities and ingredients define every dish, although they may not all be done in a classic manner. And vegetable dishes may not all be vegetarian; wild forest mushrooms comes with chanterelle purée and chicken jus, among other elements. Tasting plates drive the mains: pan-roasted duck foie gras pairs with an heirloom pecan tart and whipped citrus kumquat. Accompanying the herb-crusted black grouper is Apalachicola clams, sunchoke purée and Vidalia onion, rutabaga and cabbage fondue. An iron skillet rib-eye could also be available. The ideas expressed might come from rarely seen sources, so the tasting menus, such as five courses for $75, are big hits. Desserts present similarly surprising ideas. Pecan tofu, anyone? This menu never bores, always shines, and showcases the work of an ever inventive kitchen.
