Wonderful service from our server and front of house manager Dominick. We were there for our 20th anniversary of our first date at Noodle Bar, with our kids in tow. The team was really kind and attentive and even surprised us with an anniversary dessert. So great to see this place hasn’t lost its appeal two decades later!

Very good. Great service and relaxing lunch experience. A couple of the dishes were not as well seasoned as my past visit but the quality overall is excellent.

Love this location, and the food was delicious. But we received some of the worst service I have ever seen. The waitress was rude to us and spent most of her time standing near the bar, chatting with other staff members. She never brought water. Eventually she seemed to have lost interest in being our waitress, and the hostess had to take over. All this time, the waitress was chatting at the bar. We had been planning on ordering dessert, but we chose not to.
