Fantastic

by SugarPop83

My husband and I had dinner here on Valentine's Day and had a fantastic experience. They had a five-course Valentine's Day special with very different and exotic foods. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, and I didn't know if my meat-and-potatoes-loving husband would like anything, but we were both pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was. The lobster shrimp sausage was nothing like I had ever tasted. The eggplant soup was delicious, as well as the salad. The main course was red snapper and polynesian sirloin. Each had a variety of flavors to accompany them, but were not overpowering and complimented it very well. Dessert was a trio of small treats, all delicious. The atmosphere was dim and modern, but very romantic. Excellent service as well. This is a great place to go for a special occassion, and especially if you want to try something a little different.

• Pros: Unique food, romantic, great service
• Cons: None

Worst manager and service I have ever seen

by SteveWilson3

The food was reasonable, however the waiting staff were quite unfriendly and not very helpful. Upon paying we were over-charged by the very young lady manager and when we mentioned this and after we had paid she got quite annoyed that we'd complained and became aggressive and told us the prices were not set up by her and that they were set by corporate office, generally she dealt with the matter in a very ungracious way. Having worked in a restaurant myself I understand that it is a stressful job but would never dream of talking to a customer the way that she did to us. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant as it is unfriendly and they do not appreciate non hotel customers.

Great place

by txdch

My wife and I recently chose NOE when celebrating our first anniversary, because we enjoyed the restaurant so much last year. We could not have chosen a more perfect place. We decided on the chef's inspiration menu with the wine paring. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, and the service was incredible. We look forward to dining there again.

Great place to host friends and family.

I recently dined at Noe and was amazed at the service, ambiance, decor and cuisine. I brought an out of town guest and a few other friends and everyone enjoyed their time thoroughly. Our server, Mounir made sure to attend to every detail and anticipated our needs. My chilean sea bass was cooked to perfection and the creme brule is to die for. One of my guests commented that the tuna sashimi was the best he had ever had. The fresh orchids and various flowers around the restaurant with the candle light make a lovely setting for any occasion. Most importantly the staff was outstanding and extremely personable. I look forward to hosting many more dinners at Noe.

• Pros: Service, food, ambience
• Cons: Quiet spot..not the place to dine if your looking to see or be seen.

The Omni's sister restaurant to the L.A. original shines with fusion cuisine and glossy decor.

In Short
Art-deco fixtures, gold-leaf prints and glass cases lined with wine bottles accentuate intimate, candlelit tables. Knowledgeable servers prepare diners for a personalized, memorable experience. The Noe culinary team deftly prepares architecturally complex food with French and Japanese aesthetics. The colorful mimosa salad with spicy chicken is contrasted by mango-mint frappe. Entrees are solid, from flavorful short ribs and duck breast with juniper-port sauce to roasted striped bass with braised fennel. Finish with the cheese-course offerings.

Outstanding service, great menu

by grahmca

My husband and I tried Noe for the first time last night for my birthday, and were very impressed! The restaurant interior is very nice (albeit in a hotel), and the service was outstanding - very attentive, yet not intrusive. The menu was unique - we both had the prix-fixe menu - $58 per person, which included 4 courses. The mimosa salad was wonderful - crunchy, spicy, great flavor. And we both loved everything - the chef had unique pairings that just worked! For example, the walnut cake came with whole cranberries on top, which sounded weird to me, but tasted wonderful! Highly recommended.

Dining elegance at its best!

by wardell47

"Elegant" is the best description for me. The surroundings are beautiful. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. The staff was willing to accomodate practically all of our requests. The food was exceptional. The presentation was beautiful. The portions for the 6 course "taster" were small but satisfying. On a Saturday night at 7:00 pm we were nearly the only ones there. A lot of small touches that made the whole experience just perfect. I am not sure how the estimates of the menu prices are derived, but, if you are going to have wine with dinner, plan on about $100.00 per person. All in all, I felt that it was a treat that should be experienced at least once.

• Pros: Food, service, flexibility of the kitchen to prepare according to your likes
• Cons: The cost is high, but not entirely prohibitive.

The food was off the charts!

by cw99668

I found the wine list to be outstanding, unlike other "wine snobs" that may have reviewed it. The food was fantastic and the service was beyond great! Great place to take a date.
