    This was our first time at noir for brunch and everything was amazing! The crème brûlée espresso martini was probably one of the best I’ve ever had and there were definitely more drinks that I would have loved to try. Interesting food options as well that were creative and not like you’re usually breakfast options. Looking forward to returning to try their dinner options!

    Unfortunately every beverage i asked for they were out of (switching brands) so that was a bit frustrating, but our server was excellent and they did deal with it as best they could. Food was good, and was hot
