| - I preface this with the assumption that it may have been an off day.
I use Eater to research my culinary adventures, Nora Gray has been on many of their lists for quite some time so when there was an open reservation available, we snatched it.
Service - 3.5 - We were recommended a bottle which they ran out of, which is fine, but our appetizers came before the wine, huge no no (first world problems, I know)
Food - 3
1. Tortellini soup was under-cooked slightly, needed an additional minute or two
2. Calamari, I've never had it raw, but was slimy and under seasoned.
3. Meatball, lacks flavor, could only taste the sauce on top, nothing inside, even the par cooked egg inside. (needed salt)
4. Braised short rib - this was the best dish with depth of flavor, texture and technique
Decore - 3.5 very dark, folks a few table over had to use their phones to read the menu.
Wine - 4 very good selection w/knowledge staff.
IMO, I'd recommend trying other spots on the Eater list before Nora Gray. Joe Beef, HVOR, Le Fantome etc. come to mind.
