We really enjoyed our dinner at Nopa. Beginning with the bread and butter. All I can say is order it. Next we had the Tortelli which was excellent (not to be missed). We also had the Tagliatelle with the bolognese sauce which was very good. For dessert we had the key lime pie which was good but the ice cream that came for the birthday person was outstanding. Our server who was excellent said it was ginger snap but it didn’t taste like ginger. Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday and have that ice cream.

Enjoyed an excellent lunch in a very beautiful setting. This hotel's dining area has several different size rooms and very comfortable furniture. Great for a business lunch or group. Service was very good as well. It was our second visit - last time was for dinner - and just as good.
