  • This place can be so much better. Had lunch here yesterday with a few friends. Our server was attentive and we never went very long without anything. I supposed pouring him a taste of our wine didn't hurt. Speaking of wine, Nora's Wine Bar allows for corkage, as long as they don't have the same wine in stock. The waiter originally told us it would be $10 per bottle, but it showed up as $20 on our final bill. No biggie. I brought a 1999 Duckhorn Three Palms Merlot and a 2004 Blankiet Estate Cabernet. We got things rolling slowly, ordering three bruschette: roasted garlic and onion; tomato and basil; and mushrooms and roasted peppers. None of the three really stood out as being amazing or that I would crave. The tomato basil was especially disappointing, as there just wasn't a whole lot of flavor to it. Next, we ordered the artisan cheese platter with three selections. I can't remember what they were called, but one was a soft cheese, much like a brie, but with a bit more nuttiness. We chose to have the truffle cheese twice because, well, I like truffles. The soft cheese was good, but nothing to write home about. The truffle cheese was good, with that great earthy quality of black truffles - I do wish it was a little stronger in flavor, though. The platter came with candied walnuts (yum), some kind of cranberry sauce (meh) and delicious honey. While we ate our cheese, we saw a big antipasto salad delivered to a neighboring table and decided to order it. Meats and cheeses were plentiful, lettuce was crunchy and fresh, and the tomatoes nice and ripe. It was a good salad, but it could have used more pizazz; maybe a more flavorful dressing or use heirloom tomatoes or something. I guess it is a salad, but it doesn't have to be plain. To finish the meal, we ordered a serving of four lamb chops. These things were big and meaty. We ordered them medium-rare and they could not have been cooked more perfectly. Whatever seasoning was on it was delicious! Maybe just salt and pepper, but I felt like licking the stuff off it was that good. It's a good joint and has some interesting menu items. But a lot of the dishes just don't stand out from a very crowded and competitive market for my discretionary funds (sorry, been watching too much CNBC lately). The food just does not warrant a higher star rating.
