    Love De Noche! Weil, our server was great, they were understaffed last night. It was also quite a full house, which made the noise level much higher than it’s been in previous times we’ve died there.  We will be back, but would love to see more people on hand to work to enable a wine pairing with the tasting menu!

    We had a fine experience at De Noche, but won’t likely be returning. We had the tasting menu, with fell flat in some ways (eg, I needed to ask for salt for the soup) but was more complicated than necessary (popcorn on the custard dessert).

    Definitely a place that is worth trying, but we won’t return. When we arrived, the only two tables for 2 guests were immediately next to the entrance door - not cozy and romantic. All other tables were for a minimum of 4 guests. We were seated at the kitchen bar, and the kitchen was just not that exciting to watch. No fire, no wood, no action, no magic of cooking that mesmerizes and creates the ambiance. The menu was hit and miss, but food was well served and well thought out, just not our palate. Wine is super expensive. When served by a glass - the amount is scant. We ended up getting a total of 4 glasses, which was probably barely half a bottle. The restaurant was full and it was obvious that they have their regulars, so for others - give it a try. For the price we payed, we would rather return to our regular spots where we enjoy every moment - both food and ambiance.

    One of the best meals we have had, hands down. We opted for the tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Everything was done with intention, the service was spot on, and the vibe was just right. A beautiful space to showcase the immense talent from this team. Wine list was also full of great producers and high quality options at a great value. Will def be back.

    The food was outstanding. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and enjoyed every minute. We first started at Bar Comala and delighted in bartender’s recommendations and watched a Mexican movie playing in the bar. We would repeat in a heartbeat.

    The food is simply amazing! They made vegetarian things for me that my husband the carnivore loved too. Absolutely impeccable sourcing and totally creative flavors while still being ‘Mexican Food’ I can’t wait to go back
