The waiter was amazing! Dessert was great. The salad and main dish was not great. We all felt like we smelled like broth when we left.

We had a lovely Restaurant Week dinner at Noa on Friday night. We selected Noa because they had a more interesting Restaurant Week menu. Despite the very exuberant happy hour group at the bar, we had a great meal. Service was efficient and friendly and we really enjoyed our food choices.
