The food was flavorful and delicious! What a nice change from other local restaurants that persist in over-salting their dishes. It was also nice that the background music was just that—background, not deafening, no thumping bass. We look forward to our next date night at Noa!

Mostly French inspired dishes, which were good portion size and flavorful. The weak link here, is the service which is slow; I think the pacing between when you order and when you receive your item can be improved, especially with drinks. My wife ordered an NA mocktail, which turned out to be unavailable but it took 10 minutes for our waiter to communicate that, then it was showing on the bill (it was removed after I noted the error).

This is the best Spanish tapas restaurant ever. I am shocked it is not packed every night of the week. Every dish is to cry for, service outstanding, wine delectable. I am a dedicated regular and bring all of my out of town guests here. They have much to be proud of. SO well done.
