My husband and I dined at Noca for the first time. We had heard that the Sunday night dinner was THE night we should check it out; after all it was Sunday night fried chicken night.
Upon our arrival we were happily welcomed by the owner (or manager), seated at our table, and shortly after greeted by our server who was quite friendly.
My husband ordered the fried chicken (as did half the restaurant) and I ordered the halibut. My halibut was delicious and my husbands chicken was just as good. However, his second piece of chicken was undercooked and still had the blood line in the breast as he cut it down the middle. We're not the type of diners who "complain" or flag down the server to make a scene. My husband just pushed his chicken to the side and ate the rest of his accompaniments. A few moments later our plates were cleared from our table without any notice to the raw chicken on the plate. Good service requires paying attention to detail and that's where I feel NOCA has not yet trained its service staff (including bussers) to do.
Dinner was ended with dessert and a farewell from our server.
Will we be return diners? We always try to give second chances.
