A flawless and perfect, dinning experience! To which I highly recommend for all of you. I also strongly advice you to make reservations ahead of time. If you like to take foodie photos, a window seat is recommend it! Available upon request only!
When walking into the restaurant to which my kind friend Ann suggested for both of us to go dine here, I knew I was in the right place. The ambiance is charming, simple, and modern, but not too modern. Simply just right!
When entering the restaurant greeted by a very kind and friendly hostess, I noticed that their staff followed my request beautifully! We had a lovely table for two, with a window view provided great amount of light to take photos. The seats are quite comfortable.
Our meals..
Ann began by selecting a wine to which she didn't care much about. No worries, our waitress was kind enough to have her sample another one, to see which was the perfect wine to pair with her meals. Finally, a glass of wine was selected.
We chose to select two appetizers. A charcuterie platter which consisted of house made picked fresh fennel, with a great zingy touch to it. Along with Prosciutto and Prosciutto Cotto(Smoked cooked ham) both very tender, flavorful and silky. With a great smokey touch to it!
Alongside we ordered the Hof Kelsten(Big fan of them!) Fresh crusty white bread, with a dish of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil to lightly dip the bread in it. Fantastic!
One small negative remark, I wished our bread would have been warm or lightly toasted. Luckily it was very fresh so it was delicious anyways.
Our main dish.
As we both ordered the same thing. Fafalle with Summer fresh vegetables(Asparagus, green peas) on a light sauce and finished with a sprinkling of Ricotta Salata. Pasta was cooked to a perfect Al Dente!
To end our meal on a sweet note. Again we both ordered the same dessert. A tender, lemon poppy individual size bunt cake. Alongside of lemon Mascarpone, finished with caramelized thin lemon strips and European white chocolate shavings. The perfect ending to a already wonderful dinning experience.
Overall the entire night with a night of perfection. Service was on point. Glasses of water were never emptied, service was kind and very professional with a few laughs here and there.
The only minor negative detail I have found, the menu lacks a bit of variety. Mostly in the entrees and dessert area. I can assure you that this minor detail will not stop me from returning again, and again.
Nora Gray has lived up to it's reputation and I can understand why. I hope you have the chance to experience it as well. I highly recommend it.
