We ate here for the first time Thursday night. My husband & I shared a salad, our own small portions of pasta, & individual entrees. The ingredients & preparation of each course were excellent, & the service staff were skilled & kind. The wine our server recommended was a pleasure all on its own, pairing beautifully with our food & distinctive enough to warrant a google search for future purchasing. Meticulous but unpretentious, it was a meal to be savored.

The server staff was excellent. Super friendly & very welcoming. Atmosphere & ambience were also really nice & relaxing. However... The portions of each plate are VERY SMALL. It's fine Italian dining but much smaller than portions in Italy. DO NOT GO if you are really hungry. This is a really nice restaurant if you're there to enjoy their wine menu or a cocktail & are fine with trying some dishes to sample, but are only feeling moderately hungry. The serving sizes here don't justify the prices per plate & the menu is seasonal, but small just like their plates. The atmosphere & ambience though definitely give it a nice, local neighborhood vibe.

I finally got to experience Nora Gray & it exceeded my expectations. From the summer salad to the linguine, chef's kiss! I had a bite of my friend pan-seared sea bass & almost regretted my choice but my chanterelles on a bed of creamy linguine was divine. The surprise of the evening? The simple yet delectable summer salad. My friend & I both agreed that it may have been the best salad we have eaten thus far. I loved the atmosphere, it was nostalgic as it felt like we were transported back to the our grandparents retro basement. I will be coming back.
