| - I get why people love this place. It's far superior to many other places in the city, however I personally didn't love it.
A huge plus about Nora's is that it is one of the few places that I have been to that offers organic meats on their menu. This alone earned the third star.
The reason why they don't get anything more than 3 stars is because absolutely everything is salted to death. I love salt, but this was just too much. I left feeling almost mummified. It started with the bread that is brought to the table. They use 3 different salts as a dip for your bread and olive oil. People, salt is not a dip! My appetizer, the organic duck egg, came with with a ladle spoon of truffled salt, and even my dessert (the pannacotta) came with a salted caramel flavor. Total overkill.
I would give Nora's another go, they do have a fantastic wine list and their small plates look decent. Next time though I will treat this as a place for a drink and nibble rather than a sit down dinner. The ambiance is good, provided that you sit in main area. There is a side room that is cut off from the rest, and is devoid of any vibe what so ever, so avoid if possible.
Service, 2 stars only. Rushed, and forgetful.
