Where to start.. Restaurant week usually means getting a chance to see what a restaurant does best, but it seems that Noca didn't get that memo.
Bland meat balls, an "artisan cheese platter" that consisted of 4 small slices of cheese from the fry's deli variety pack, and some jam. I went for the 4 course menu and feel like I left more hungry than when I arrived. I understand why GOOD restaurants never put salt on the table, but every dish we had at Noca was out of balance and could have used adjusting. The pork tenderloin was tough, made worse by the over cooked prosciutto wrapped around it... And the cioppino seemed to have been stewed with dirty gym socks.
Even the berry tart for desert was questionable.
and though it didn't affect my review... who pours beer out of a can into a snifter? Let's leave the irony where it belongs, in literature, not bring it to dinner.
Our server was uninterested and rarely let us finish a sentence before walking away from the table. Over all, it was the kind of experience I'd expect from Applebees not a restaurant with a reputation to maintain.
