This was our second time at De Noche. The food was fantastic like I remembered. We sat at the kitchen counter the last time and I liked that better than the alcove we were put in this time. It’s a small place and it felt a bit cramped. I’d recommend the counter for a more rich experience. Food was great. Service was mostly great…Miguel in particular.

De Noche was a lovely place to celebrate a birthday. We did the full menu which was reasonably priced for how much food the two of us ate and each dish was wonderful. Unique flavors and combinations from start to finish. And that carrot cake to top it off! I wouldn't change a thing and we'll be back.

Could not have been more pleasantly surprised with our meal here. The staff is amazing and our chef “experience” meal was so totally killer. I would eat here every day if I did not live in Maine.

Service was great, food was really good as well. First time for us and definitely didn’t disappoint on the flavors and spices they bring into their dishes. The only reason I put four stars instead of five was the cocktails, they felt a little light on the liquor compared to other restaurants in downtown but were same price point.

Hi Jennifer, We are happy to hear you enjoyed the menu and service! Our cocktails all use 2 oz of alcohol unless they are a spirit-forward cocktail (old fashioned, manahattan, etc.), in which case they have 2.5 oz. Industry standard is 1.5-2oz of liquor per cocktail, so we are actually on the strong end of the spectrum.

My husband and I and I travel to Mexico very often and I’ve yet to find a restaurant that can capture some of the upscale but authentic styles of food we’ve seen in our travels. Everything from the service, cocktail and food was fantastic. Their menu caters well to people with pallergens or vegan.

This was a repeat visit to De Noche, and from our previous visits we knew we liked the food, but that the service was spotty. This time was the snake-eyes for service (we never got to the food). 7pm reservation, we're a few minutes early, but we get a two-top by the door amidst large tables of loud revelers (Thursday night? but OK, no prob). I situations like this I'm cautious. We look at the menus, but when we attempt to order, turns out we've been given the wrong menus. We ordered cocktails in advance of getting the correct menus. About 10 mins later we have the correct menus. Normally I wouldn't order food before the cocktails arrived, but my partner jumped the gun. Multiple people come by to ask how we're doing and at each turn "Where are the cocktails?" -- no responses. At some point a server tries to bring some food, but I send it back because -- drinks still haven't arrived. At 30 minutes in, still with only water in front of us, the owner comes and offers a bubbly -- I'm not interested, but my partner takes a tablespoon. It then appears the drink order was lost, but it'll be "a while" before they come, because of big tables. Not acceptable to me in any way. OK, sometimes mistakes are made. But when the mistake was recognized, they didn't expedite our order. This rings true from other visits -- the kitchen and the bar have minimal communication. We've had lovely food here, but the price demands quality service, and they can't provide it.
