The food was wonderful! It was a lovely touch to be given a small treat to commemorate our special occasion. Thank you for that. We were a little disappointed to be left standing for a while at the front desk while staff behind the bar chatted to each other, even though they had seen us standing there. It's a big deal for us to come to this restaurant and spend this kind of money for an evening so being made to feel welcome is important.

First of all, I would like to thank the staff at Hopgoods for accommodating us for NYE dinner which was made the day before. We were in town w/o making any NYE dinner plan and scrambled around at the 11th hour checking openings at numerous restaurants until husband showed up in person to Hopgoods and the staff graciously squeezed us in. Service was impeccable and warm with staff checking up on us quite often, tasting menu was creative and delicious and the staff kindly adjusted my husband's meal to dairy-free so some of his dishes looked like a completely different item from mine. Great place in Nelson for upscale dining.

Wow, I’ve been traveling for 6 months and this might be the most sublime, flawless, and “I already wish I could come back” dining experience I’ve had. It reminded why I love the art of food, the surprises and subtleties. And the service! My waitress was cheeky, fun, and always ready to help. Her advice was golden - she even gave me a half portion at half price of an (incredible) saffron potatoes side when I said I was medium hungry. She also gave me three wine tastings to pick from as I chose my glass for the main course. She deserves a medal for her deft and faultless work.The rest of the staff is lovely and warm, every face and every course. I am actually sad I cannot back again as I move on to Queenstown then return to the US. You MUST get the duck confit, the local Paua appetizer, and the most divine yogurt cake I’ve ever tasted.Come here. One of the greatest meals of my life, and I’ve had ~20 2-3 star Michelin meals.

I can not fault this place. We went looking for a meal late and found them open on a Friday night after flying in. Great recommendations, excellent service. Food was flawless. Good wine list to suit the food.

Went for the first time with my mum tonight, we have been meaning to go for a while. They did not disappoint and we are already planning our return. We got the degustation menu and it was DELICIOUS! All of the staff were so lovely. Could not fault the night at all, well done to all of the team in making our night such an enjoyable one.

We have been meaning to come here for ages and finally got the opportunity this time around in Nelson. It was great, every dish was beautiful and the atmosphere was perfect too.The Lobster toast, the salmon entree and the fish main were the best selections on the night. The potato side we had was outstanding too! We paired our food with an excellent bottle of Felton Road Block 2 Chardonnay….amazing!Service was good and the maître d was outstandingly good at taking care of customers.We will return!

I was very excited to try the food at Hopgoods and had high hopes for this restaurant, especially after reading all the wonderful five star reviews. My partner and I ordered the chefs tasting menu ($95) and drink pairing (50$) at a price of $145 each. I felt that the tasting menu fell flat on many aspects.There were multiple inconsistencies in the dishes, such as some dishes having too much sauce versus scant sauce, the size of the portions, and the amount of ingredients received on the plate.The plating also left something to be desired, with the first and last course covered by a (? Parmesan crisp and purple toffee?) respectively, meaning you cannot see any of the dish underneath. The reason why I add question marks is because the dishes were simply brought to us without any explanation of what we were receiving, methods in which the ingredients were cooked or prepared, or why the particular wine pairing was chosen for the dish.The dishes themselves were unimaginative and not executed properly. The second course gnocchi were mushy and over cooked, the third course market fish was underseasoned, and half of the fourth course beef brisket was rubbery and dry. At the very least I expected properly cooked tasty food … at least the wine was good.Ultimately I left feeling disappointed and I don’t think I will return to this restaurant.
