| - Noca, Noca, Noca...I've been wanting to try you for a while..but with child in tow..I was sceptical about trying you out....do I heart you to death right now? yes! K...so, let's rock the nitty gritty...I ate there a few hours ago and HAD to share...
When I walked in, they totally didn't even bat an eye that my daughter(8) was with me...patrons however gave me "the look"...little did they know she was totally in the kitchen later with the chef makin their little cloud of heaven...
Ok..so the most phenom wait / bus staff ever! EVER!!!! I applaud you!! If I could have raised a glass to all of you and thought the some what persnickety crowd would follow I would have. But , you know the "Arcadia crowd"... God forbid..they acknowledge where they came from and may be again ...anyway..hat's off to the training and ridiculous management skills you have developed!
Like I always tell anyone I have ever dated...it's the small things that count ( d--- exclude) and attention to detail ...NOCA covers it all.... the teeny mad hatter tea cups with soup and the perfect olive oil dipping trays.. I don't heart much these days....serious..check this sh-- out..fo real!
If I could put up with the dbag letch next to me for this....you know ..;or please know,..NOCA deserves a visit.
The kitchen was a tad slow, but they were slammed all at once..and it's actually nice to have a slow meal, and give each coarse the attention it deserves...they made up for the wait, by bringing Little Tea Cup's of Pea Soup, and Corn Soup, which I snagged from my daughter...then a bowl of tomato gazpacho..(which I couldn't eat, as I am allergic to tomatoes), the waitress did not bat an eye..she whisked it away...and replaced it with an asparagus toasted pine nut salad..yummy! (All of this was complimentary)..
I had an Ultimate Vodka Martini..fabu! Nice, Cozy little 6 seat bar..if the dining room looks crowded, look a little further back to your left and see if you can squeeze in there..good seats and a bird eye view of the crowd.
k...so..the lobster ( pronounced) LOBSTAAAAA roll only on Wed. ..I was all trying to be healthy and not eat as a sandwich, at 1st...and it was ok...then I picked it up and had the whole enchilada ....f--- me all the way to heaven and back...you have no idea...I thought about not telling you for like 2 point 4 seconds flat..then decided if you want to have the big "O"..get off your ass and go....just stuff the big ass delight in your face..boss, date, Mom, lookin at you...doesn't matter ..you will thank me later.
I have had to cut a lot of food out of my life lately...but NOCA was like ...whatever..bring it on bitch...Thank you for rockin my pallet tonight!
The chef...so inventive on every level....the food speaks volumes... but what rocked me was the manager asking my daughter to meet the chef and go in the kitchen to help make the little puffs of heaven .... wait for it....wait for it....home made right then and there-COTTON CANDY! My all time favorite childhood treat. I renamed them Rockin Heaven Puff's last night. They bring them out after your meal....and they'll bring you 2..not that I would know... or anyone else they were gone so fast..I think I licked the bowl...oh geez, do over.
NOCA....you are the date I dream about!
If yelp had an "O" rating ...you would have it tonight!
