Review Summary

Nora Gray is frequently praised for its intimate, cozy atmosphere and its selection of high-quality, flavorful Italian-inspired dishes, particularly the fresh pasta and seasonal offerings. Many diners highlight the attentive, knowledgeable staff and the vibrant energy of the space as key factors in an enjoyable evening. However, recurring feedback points to concerns regarding high price points relative to small portion sizes, as well as inconsistencies in food preparation and service pacing. While some guests find the dining experience to be exceptional and well worth a visit, others feel the value does not always align with their expectations, noting that the restaurant can become quite loud and occasionally chilly in colder months.

Really enjoyed my experience at Nora Gray. The foglie d'ulivo, pesto de roquette, olives taggiasche was light, fresh, & easy to enjoy. The arugula pesto & olives worked very well together & gave the pasta a lot of flavor without feeling heavy.

The boeuf de la ferme d'Orée 8oz was also very good. The beef was dry-aged for five weeks & had a rich flavor. It was cooked perfectly for our taste, although they didn't ask how we wanted it cooked. The sauce on the steak was excellent & brought everything together.

Service was good overall & our server was knowledgeable & helpful. The only downside was that the restaurant is very strict with the menu. We asked to add a few drops of balsamic to the olive oil & they said no but the olive oil itself was great.

Overall, very good food & a nice experience.

This was our 2nd visit & it was very different. It was an amazing eating experience the first time in 2025.

The service & atmosphere were top notch, although folks should know it gets very loud once the restaurant fills. But the food was disappointing as it was uneven. Price point is quite high, but the portion sizes are very small. Some dishes amazing, a few only okay/mid.

The shocker was we ordered a special crab pasta where the tagliatelle was under cooked - hard in the middle still! When we sent it back, the chef was unhappy & told the server'it was fine'. Instead of making us a new dish, she cooked it a SECOND time & it was brought back!!! I felt bad for the server (who was amazing) as I could tell she was embarrassed it had not been refired. Unacceptable & we likely won't return now.

We managed to get a table for 4 people last minute (1 hour before reservation time on a Tuesday).

Let start by saying that the female server we had was absolutely adorable & super knowledgeable about the menu. That's about the only upside.

We arrived 5 minutes in advance & the table wasn't ready until 30 minutes past our reservation time which was kind of annoying. We just stood there waiting for the table before us to leave.
The food is way too over priced for what it is. Basically the main course is simply not filling & not worth the price. Chickpeas, plain pasta & olive oil for $38 + tax is unreasonable. It's not even a big enough portion for a main course.

Atmosphere was SO noisy.

I would honestly not recommend coming l here which is disappointing because we live just around the corner & we were looking forward to trying this place for a long time.

Food was decent but overpriced for the main meals. I had the pasta with foie gras & it just tasted like liver. My glass of wine was $24.

The service & the ambiance were actually very nice but we were seated by the window so it was very cold!

Pastas all slightly off. Fish overcooked & chewy. Steak was good but boring. Very disappointing. Nice space though.

Great vibe, very decent food. Service was exceedingly slow. Very, very slow service, though the service in general was very polite & gave good insight on the menu. Meal easily took 30-45 minutes longer than it needed to just on service time, & I am not one to nitpick on this, it just killed the flow of an otherwise great dinner.

The food was great quality. Asparagus was great, along with all the pastas. The beef was tough, though it was well cooked with a great sauce. The pork was also very tasty.

I would go back, but only if the service issues are fixed.

My first time at Nora Gray by myself, because my foodie local friend said,'Try, you are in luck if you can get in.' I ordered tuna carpaccio & zucchini pasta. The pasta was impressive, from its aroma to texture & taste, especially its unique after taste sweetness was quite a delight! But the tuna… I had better. Sorry to say I was expecting the melt in your mouth texture with fresh balanced favour but the lemon juice somehow on that night was too overpowering so all was lost. The vibe was cosy, casual elegant. Servers were friendly & professional. Will try again.
