Really tasty! The 4 of us all really enjoyed 3 spreads, zucchini chips and our souvlaki dishes. Drinks also were great. Dessert menu was uninspiring and we declined. Service was friendly, helpful, fast and efficient.

Food surprised us with how delicious it was. We had smash burgers and shepard's pie. Side dishes (salad and asparagus) were generously portioned and excellent. Prices were moderate, especially given how expensive dining out has become. Nice ambiance. Will return!

What a great place! I made a reservation for a Friday night and everything about this restaurant was great. Especially the service. We were running a bit late on the reservation (I called the restaurant to apologize and explain I hit traffic) and they were so kind and understanding. Once we got there, the place was packed! I did not realize they have a happy hour- and they would be so full. (I’m a bit surprised they were accommodating to our delay- it wasn’t a long delay, but they were very busy!) I completely understand the hype though… our server was the bartender (Nate) and he was lovely!!! Extremely attentive to everyone around him and gave me a great dinner recommendation. The cocktails were fantastic, we loved our meal and the dessert. There really isn’t anything I could fault them for. I can’t wait to go back

Noema is definitely worth a visit\! The outdoor patio is lovely, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal and drinks. We tried the octopus, carrots, short rib, and zucchini fritters, and everything was excellent. The drinks were tasty as well. Great food, a nice atmosphere, and a solid overall experience. Definitely recommend!
