    Went for the Novemburger. The A5 Brisket Jammer was delicious, my favourite burger of the competition and in my personal top 5. Our server, Nick, was knowledgeable and genuine, not pretentious. The decor and music was in my wheelhouse. Definitively going back. A great overall experience.

    Love Noir! Great place to take my family for my graduation dinner. We were welcomed with a little sip each of prosecco to “cheers” to and a card that said “Congratulations”, which was a great start to the experience. We got oysters, gnocchi, ravioli, cod, lamb, burrata, some cocktails and wine. Everything was wonderful and beautifully plated/served. Service is always on point and the frequent water refills by our server was a nice touch. The general manager and the owner were both in and checked in on our experience which showed their commitment to attention to detail. We’ll definitely have to come back for brunch! Thanks again to the Noir team.
