Went for lunch yesterday and had a really great experience.
From the street, Nota Bene looks like a super impressive space. But once inside, I was surprised how....boring the decor was. Beige walls and wood. I wanted it to be more modern. But that's me just being a tad picky.
Service was really great and attentive, my water glass was never empty, there seemed to be a waiter around at all times, but not in an annoying way.
Ordered the mediterranean sea bass as a main. It came perfectly cooked, drizzled in high quality olive oil with over a warm salad of cherry tomatoes, slivered fennel, super ripe cubed avocado, and my favourite: panko crusted, deep fried zucchini blossoms. the avocado added a much needed layer of creaminess, the tomatoes a bunch of acid and the zucchini flowers the perfect amount of crispiness and fat. loved everything about this dish.
Sprung for dessert, had the sticky toffee pudding with pecan prailine & spotted dick ice cream. again, perfectly executed. the pudding/cake layer was light a fluffy (not dense like most sticky toffee puddings), the toffee sauce was sweet with a bit of salty and the ice cream was....simply amazing.
A great lunch Would love it check it out for dinner. Maybe I'll sit in the bar area where the decor is much more my taste :)
