This place was amazing. We were in town for the St Patrick’s day parade, and stopped here for drinks and apps. What an amazing experience from the bartender Pedro to the host Nick to the chef who sent desserts to our table. Friendly, clean, and very good! I highly recommend you stop in here.

Had been to Nora for dinner before and had a great experience. Decided to try brunch this time and was pleased service and ambiance. Tried the shakshouka as that is a favorite of mine, as well as the chicken sandwich. Also got the berry pancakes and French toast which were fine. The ambiance is really beautiful and the service is always really good. Will be back for dinner or cocktails. Great experience overall.
