Went here for dinner on Friday night. The concept is take on southern cuisine. High ceilings and industrial chic give the dining room a larger than life feeling. The place was lively but not too loud although I personally felt that the tables were too close to each other.
The cocktail menu is mostly focused on brown spirits. They are on the expensive end but I enjoyed my Alibi (tequila) drink.
Portions are modest in size but depending upon what you get you may get full pretty quickly. Unfortunately their side dishes were not too exciting to order. For the appetizer we shared the goat papusa with cucumber relish. This was one of our favorite dishes of the evening.
For entrees, we shared the blackened sea bass and grits with mushroom. The sea bass had accompanying sauces that elevated the dish and the grits were very comforting. Unfortunately the fried egg was not runny which was a bummer :(
For dessert we had the pumpkin pie ice cream. It was a very balanced dessert not too sweet which I prefer. The service was spot on for the most part including the front desk.
We've been to Nota Bene before but never felt like going back again, I guess the food there was solid but did not wow us. We will definitely come back here with friends though.
