We had a lovely lunch and our server was very attentive without being overbearing! She saw to our every need and took very good care of us! She made sure we were able to have our meal and make it to our show on time.

The Waygu steak and the duck breast were truly outstanding. The gem lettuce somewhat less so.

I dined at noon at NOE before my Opera perfomance which I usually do. The place is quiet which I like, the food is good and super reasonably priced, although a bit higher than several months ago. The service is always consistently excellent, responsive and caring! I had the Papardelle with scallops and it was delicious. They also always have my favorite Pinot Noir by Meiomi! I was a bit disappointed, however because LA Opera advertised a special Magic Flute cocktail for eating here and it was not available for lunch, but only dinner! Overall, I reommend this venue as I often come here and if I want to work, I can eat and do both!

Excellent service, delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend the mole enchiladas and their chips and salsa are highly addictive, plus superb cocktails.
