    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.

    Excellent staff, great food, had a wonderful time. A little pricey but it was a good experience. We had to leave early and they were kind enough to give us vouchers for the desert we were not able to stay for. We will be back!

    Wonderful experience doing something a bit more unique. This staff went above and beyond after our experience when a piece of jewelry was lost there. They made sure to help find such when the experience was being cleaned and helped save the day. Cannot rave about the above and beyond experience and help they’ve offered.

    Lovely setting, attentive service, delicious meal and exciting cocktails. We loved every aspect of our date night dinner. Beef tartare, scallops and duck were all outstanding and beautiful. Passionfruit tart also very nice. Don’t miss the passionfruit cocktail with bubbles, sidecar or espresso martini. Exceptionally good.
