NOCA... wow.
Have you seen the outer limits show where the chef owns a device that when placed in a small room with a single person drives the person completely insane with fear but creates a liquid extract that adds complete and utter bliss to food. That liquid is then added to the restaurant's soup which is revered as the best soup in the word. Limit 1 bowl per person...?
NOCA must have gotten their hands on this relic. Honestly. This has probably been the best dining experience of my life. Everything was delicious on its own, all together, or when combining just a few of the items on the plate.
Walked in and our server seated us. They brought us an amuse-bouche that had a small amount of blue cheese, chorizo, and chives. Was delicious. Then bread was served. After that, our Bacon and Egg was served. This was phenomenal. A crispy perfectly poached egg with oh so tender pork belly....mmmm
My fiance ordered the butternut squash cannelloni and I ordered the duck. Both were amazing. The duck was so moist and tender but not greasy at all. We then were served cotton candy as we waiting on our 2 desserts to arrive. We had the donuts and the de-constructed cheesecake. I had an espresso and my fiance had the vanilla malted milk shake.
All of this was amazing. My fiance wasn't in the mood for wine, so I delved into the beer list and low and behold, 90 minute IPA from dogfish head.... NOCA, I love you.
