| - A couple friends and I decided to try this place out because 1) they are wine drinkers and 2) wanted a chill atmosphere. So being the person I am and always wanting to try new places around town, I figured I would give it a try.
Located in the Boca Park area by William Sonoma, Banana Republic and P.F. Changs, you know you're in Summerlin and the dining is going to be a little more high class. On the night we went, there were only a couple tables occupied. As soon as I walked in, a whiff of snootty-ness was in the air. Now I can get along with anyone or anything but the caliber of people in this place was unbelievable. I actually felt a little out of place because I'm one of those people that enjoys having a good time when I go out to eat, instead I felt like I had to behave myself.
Our waiter, Diego, poor dude. It's like he didn't even want to be there and the guy was so monotone, as my friend stated, an "Italian Frankenstein." He started to get irritated because we were still waiting for the rest of our party to show up and were not ready to order. But yet he kept asking!
So looking over the menu...first who uses a suede type menu? Oh Nora's does. I know you're trying to go for the sophisticated look but the EVOO stains on the menu are not very appealing. Side note- nothing on the menu was cheaper than $10. The best way to classify Nora's is Italian tapas ranging from apps to small bites to entrees to desserts. We found it much more beneficial to share the dishes we ordered and ended up paying around $60 for the 3 of us, of course we never did sample the wine. Perhaps it was because we didn't want to get to rowdy in this place (we did anyways and we just got stink eye from those around us).
We ordered the rollo di pollo, (chicken parmsigana stuffed with ham( from the small bites menu. There were 4 pieces, which suited us fine. It was actually pretty enjoyable, I was afraid it might have still been raw like other places but it was actually cooked right! Our next dish was the tomato & basil capellini. It's really hard to mess this simple dish up. So it was okay nothing to make you say "WOW." And last but not least we ordered the small spinach & endive salad. I enjoyed this salad because it was light and quite refreshing. The three dishes we ordered actually worked out well together and naturally balanced each other out.
Overall Nora's wasn't bad, however, the service and atmosphere made me give it 3 stars. I'd give it another shot to see if it was just a bad night and to possibly sample the wine. It does remind me of the Grape in Town Square, but the Grape has more of a laid back atmosphere and has ladies night, with a reasonable food & drink menu!
