Ordered 2 tapas (chorizos and 3x empanadas), and 2 entres stuffed shrimp and octopus paella. All of it was cooked excellently. Very tasty and plenty of portions. Atmosphere was pleasant and service was polite.Prices are little up there but what do you expect from what I just said. Very much a recommended experience.

7pm reservation but place was completely empty when we walked in so should have been a sign. Service took forever but staff was kind. It’s beautiful inside. Tried ordering Chardonnay (on their menu) but didn’t have It. Tried ordering a watermelon martini (on their menu) but they didn’t have It. Drinks weren’t great. Food, cheese, and meats tasted like It was from Costco. Hot tapas came cold. Octopus was mushy. Would not recommend. Also, they added 18% gratuity on the check when It was only 2 of us so be careful!

We were in the mood to celebrate, but it was a bit late so we ended up here. The place looked pretty, bright, and cozy, so we decided to stay. It wasn’t that busy at all, so we got lots of attention and we loved that.We received the menus, and I must say that the amount of menus, and items on each menu was extremely overwhelming. There was not a clear theme on the food items as there were Mexican, Spanish and Brazilian items. (I guess they want to attract all population in the surrounding area). The amount of things in the menu is so problematic that it took a while for the waiter to find the items in his tablet as we were placing the order.In terms of food quality, The nachos were alright, I think they should use shredded meat instead of ground beef because ground beef makes it look and taste cheap. The quesadilla was pretty tasty as well as the stuffed chicken with shrimp. The food in general was pretty good and fresh and the drinks were great. I hope I can come back soon to try some other things in their extensive list of items.

My friend and I went to the restaurant yesterday to find out it was boughtby new owners. It was mostly empty, with just three tables occupied. Despite another table arriving after us and receiving water and bread quickly, we had to ask for both. The server seemed surprised when we asked about the bread.Our steak took about 50 minutes to arrive, even though the place was nearly empty, and we weren't given steak knives—just butter knives. The salad had no dressing, and we weren't asked if we wanted any dressing or condiments. The sangria was terrible.The Brie on my steak tasted spoiled, and when the manager came out, she claimed that she had tasted it from my plate and said it was fine. She asked if I wanted to order something else at that point waiting that long to eat and tasting the spoiled cheese, I didn’t want anything else just wanted to get out of there.The bill included a 20% party fee, though others had received 15% or 18% from other reviews I have read. We've been coming here for over 15 years, and it's disappointing. When we left the manager had the nerve to say don’t come back as if I was planning to ever come back. This place will not last with this type of service and food.

Noah Place is a great spot to unwind. Cozy atmosphere, tasty food, and well crafted drinks. The staff is friendly and the vibe hits just right whether you are out with friends or grabbing a quiet bite. Definitely worth a visit.
