I had heard several good complements about noca and was excited to have dinner here. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed.
All four of us ordered the tasting menu. Two of us had it with wine pairings as well. The presentation was good. We started with some type of a small palette cleanser. Our first course was either a mushroom soup or a salad. I had the soup and my husband had the salad. It was good though not amazing. Our second course was pasta with meat type sauce. This was the best course by far. Our entree was a flat iron steak. It was good but again not amazing. Dessert was blue cotton candy and chocolate cake w banana gelato. The cotton candy was a nice surprise.
What was very disappointing was the wine pairings. Our waiter knew very little about the wines and strangely did the same pairings regardless of whether we ordered. The soup or salad and the fish or steak entree. The entire wine line-up was completely in the red family.
Overall the presentation was good, portion size was good, service was ok, food was ok. But nothing spectacular.
If you are looking for a wow restaurant I would rather recommend alto at the hyatt gainey ranch.
