   We have been to Republica and De Noche has been on the list for a while. We did the tasting menu for two and everything was flawless. Highly recommend. The hamachi was my favorite but truly everything was so good it was hard to choose. The stories and the descriptions of each dish add to the experience. The mixture of flavors with each dish was over the top delicious! The team works well together and the service is super attentive. With all the courses we were there for almost 2 hours. Dont skip the dessert!

   We’ve been to Denoche several times and it never ceases to impress us — quality of food, variety, taste and service.

   Really great meal. The soup was very nice on a cold night. Tostada and taco were delicious. And we loved the masa forward brownie! Also very nice service.

   Having had a spectacular dinner at in August, we were looking forward to returning for another great meal. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The worst part was the service. Our first course arrived before we had been served our cocktails and the second course came while we were eating our soup. We asked that they slow down the delivery of the food so that we wouldn’t be done with the entire menu in 20 minutes. Eventually, they did slow down, however, so much so that we waited an inordinate amount of time for our last two. The food was still very good although at a much higher heat level than at our last dinner. A couple of the dishes were so spicy that I was unable to enjoy them. I hope to try the restaurant again, however, I don’t think I would order the complete menu as we have the last two times since some of the dishes were disappointing.

   Love De Noche! Weil, our server was great, they were understaffed last night. It was also quite a full house, which made the noise level much higher than it’s been in previous times we’ve died there.  We will be back, but would love to see more people on hand to work to enable a wine pairing with the tasting menu!

   We had a fine experience at De Noche, but won’t likely be returning. We had the tasting menu, with fell flat in some ways (eg, I needed to ask for salt for the soup) but was more complicated than necessary (popcorn on the custard dessert).

    Definitely a place that is worth trying, but we won’t return. When we arrived, the only two tables for 2 guests were immediately next to the entrance door - not cozy and romantic. All other tables were for a minimum of 4 guests. We were seated at the kitchen bar, and the kitchen was just not that exciting to watch. No fire, no wood, no action, no magic of cooking that mesmerizes and creates the ambiance. The menu was hit and miss, but food was well served and well thought out, just not our palate. Wine is super expensive. When served by a glass - the amount is scant. We ended up getting a total of 4 glasses, which was probably barely half a bottle. The restaurant was full and it was obvious that they have their regulars, so for others - give it a try. For the price we payed, we would rather return to our regular spots where we enjoy every moment - both food and ambiance.
