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!
so fire. pasta & red meat menus are amazing & recommended. not sure about the seafood. worth the visit.
This place is special, the food, the atmosphere & most of all the people, thanks again for another great experience!
Excellent repas avec une touche d'originalité bien appréciée. Service impeccable.
Maybe I had too high hopes for Nora Gray, because last night's birthday dinner with my wife was a bit of a letdown, & I'm blaming the wine. We ordered the'Teresa Cascina Tavijn' red Italian wine, which was far too acidy & lacked a complexity of flavour. Choosing the right wine is so important. It can make or break & evening at an upscale restaurant like Nora Gray. Our waitress was amazing & gave us an in depth explanation of the food & wine, so it's nobody's fault but our own for choosing one that wasn't to our tastes. Nora Gray's service & atmosphere is truly top notch, in this warm & cosy nook of a restaurant. One of the highlights of the evening was the'Flétan de la Gaspésie, salsa d'oignons brûlés, petit lait, Ciabot del Moreto'20', which was a powerhouse of flavour & left us both raving. The'Viola Olive Oil' from Cucina Imports that we asked to be poured on a small dish was one of the best olive oils I've ever tasted, & well worth the $4 fee. It was perfect for wiping up with the'Focaccia Maison'. Unfortunately, one of the low points of the night was the'Battuta de boeuf, puntarelle, anchois, ail' which was far too chewy for a tartare. Tartare is supposed to be so tender that it melts in your mouth, but this was so gummy that I had to give up on champing & hide bits of half eaten beef in my napkin. Another dish that was less than memorable was the'Farro de Pacina, jus de volaille, poivre'. So, at one point our night out wasn't looking great, but thankfully it was saved by a mind blowingly spectacular dessert called the'Mousse chocolat & ricotta, crème à l'huile d'olive, noisettes'. It was a prefect blend of sweet, salt & more scrumptious olive oil. In the end, I would recommend giving Nora Gray a try & hopefully you'll have better luck with the wine. I heard that they have an outdoor patio in the summer time, which sounds like fun.
Super expérience à ce restaurant, notre serveuse était parfaite, elle nous a bien suggéré & accompagner tout au long de notre souper. J'ai rarement été aussi satisfaite d'une sortie au restaurant. La nourriture & les drink valent certainement le détou
Pastas all slightly off. Fish overcooked & chewy. Steak was good but boring. Very disappointing. Nice space though.
