Reviews
Had a fantastic experience at Noema Restaurant. Beautiful inside the restaurant and the patio outside is a great place to spend the evening. We had the tzatziki spread and beet salad to start. My wife and I split the half chicken and braised rib as our entree. Ilias was a tremendous server. We will be back and we highly recommend Noema!
This restaurant really brings the soul of Greek hospitality to life. The food and drinks were all a hit. The chefs really preserved authentic Greek flavors and made this one of the best Greek spots I’ve been to. Thank you to our server Sotiria and other attentive staff for making our dinner such a great night!
Amazing dinner! We ordered a lot but everything is so intentionally paired and so fresh. The spreads, the tuna tartare, lambchops and the short rib are so amazing. This will be our go to spot! Can’t wait to be back and try everything else. Such great service as well.
I went with a group of coworkers, and what an AMAZING experience we had! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, the drinks were spectacular, and even the bathrooms were fancy! I would highly recommend the octopus, too. I've never had it before, but I'm sure glad | tried it; it was DELICIOUS! My friends and I will definitely be coming back! 😊
Phenomenal experience at Noema! My first time visiting this restaurant was amazing thanks to Kosta (our server). My friend and I tried a variety of great food recommendations made by our server which included the tonos tartare, aegean salad, braised short rib, pastitsio and portokalopita for dessert. The meat was extremely tender, melting right off the bone for both entrees and appetizers had amazing flavor especially the tonos tartare which was light yet very flavorful. Our server also recommended Sunset on the Praire for our drinks which was such a sweet and refreshing cocktail that paired excellently with our food. We concluded our dinner with the portokalopita (dessert) which was yet again another great recommendation that tasted like an elevated chocolate orange peel. The ambiance of the overall restaurant was extremely cozy and elegant, and not too loud making it easy to converse. Definitely recommend this restaurant as food and service were phenomenal, with our server making our first time experience here so welcoming and enjoyable. He was quick, efficient, extremely knowledgeable of the menu and made great drink/food recommendations! Service was truly excellent from start to finish! Will definitely be back not only for food but top notch service and dining experience!
