This restaurant’s food, from top to bottom, is absolutely top tier. I had several vegetarian options that I thoroughly enjoyed and shared with my Missus. She had the taco al pastor and the octopus, both of which she said were outstanding. We finished with two desserts that beautifully closed the meal — a silver lining to an already excellent experience.

Had a lovely experience celebrating my birthday with my mom and best friend. Our server was so nice, attentive, and made my birthday dinner special! From the nice host at the front door, to the food runners and the live music, NOMA is a hidden gem and a great place to have a nice dinner with quality food and drinks. Can’t wait to come back and celebrate next year, if not sooner!
