Eco-Chic At Noble
Posted by Foobooz on July 22nd, 2009
Adam Erace has a moment at Noble American Cookery as the foie gras melts on tongue and the setting sun shines through the front windows. Unfortuantely the moment is killed when he gets his hefty bill. But Erace finds other things along the way worthy of praise, especially the drink program.
[T]he curl of citrus unleashes its essential oils in the Vesper, a martini coined by Sir Ian Fleming in 1953’s Casino Royale . Smooth and subtly floral, the lemon-accented blend of Bluecoat gin, Penn 1681 vodka, Lillet Blonde and orange bitters was as beguiling as its namesake, Bond babe Vesper Lynd, and among the most beautifully balanced cocktails ever to pass these lips.

I know Adam reads foobooz, so I want to start by saying I agree pretty much entirely with the review and I’m glad Noble has lowered prices.
That said, considering Noble had already lowered prices, why is the main critique still it’s pricing? I’m horribly confused by that and frustrated because I had the EXACT same service problems (no sense of timing). Our appetizers beat our cocktails to the table. Our entrees were ready before they cleared the apps.
That’s a major flaw, and one that should be fixable. Hopefully Noble won’t overlook that critique, because the food and drink and space is too good for timing to get in the way.
