I’d walk across the street to Winchester and Rye all day long. The Noble Lion fell short on everything except a couple of apps and dessert. Gosh I hate leaving a bad review but everything is so expensive these days and I know how much I rely on reviews so I wanted give an honest one here. The Gouda cheese curds were very bland (but the sauces were excellent). I enjoyed my grilled Caesar salad and my friend loved her salmon with crusty bread.
For our entrees, I ordered the halibut. The fish was completely dry on the outside, and overcooked so it was tough. The risotto was good, but I’ve have much much better risotto. Her ribeye was so thin we thought she got the wrong order. We also ordered a third entree because it was the special - braised short rib - that meat was delish, but the baked (?) risotto with that was bland and tasted funny. Everything just needed salt/seasoning.
My friend ordered a glass of red wine ($24) and it was served in a white wine glass. And the silverware was something you’d find in a Denny’s and the steak knives wood handles were rough. All the flatware was dingy.
For the prices, we just had higher expectations. Our waitress didn’t know the menu either.
Dessert was Crem brûlée and that was excellent as was the key lime cheesecake.
The management/owner needs to step up their game. Most people dine out for the whole experience so all of it matters.
I’m not even interested in giving them a second chance.

Heard great things about this restaurant so took my wife here for her birthday. The bison was so tough I couldn’t even eat it, very pour cut of meat. The server did offer to get something different so tried the ribeye which tasted good but was the thinnest ribeye I’ve ever seen. Drinks were good and service was standard. Atmosphere was classy and 5 stars! I added a note to my reservation, stating it was a birthday dinner, as every other restaurant I have been to will do something special for the birthday person, but no acknowledgment there. Would give it another try but for now it’s not a place I would frequent for date nights, as there are better options area.

THE BEST place to eat. My favorite is that the menu is always changing. It's not processed food being zipped out in 10 minutes, its a curated experience of delicious food and chill vibes. I also can't drink right now being pregnant so I have been trying mocktails in a lot of restaurants. This is the ONLY place that has made a good mocktail that doesn't taste like juice and sparkling water. The restaurant is small and cozy which keeps it quite to have a nice conversation and the staff has always been sweet and attentive. We go here on all our special dates and never regret it. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

This place was recommended to us for a date night, so we thought we would check it out.
The food was great, and matched the prices in our opinion. Menu had a good variety without being too over whelming. Wonderful drink menu as well.
All the staff was pleasant but not attentive. No refills, took forever to take our order, took forever to get our bill, then forever for them to bring back our card (honestly they disappeared with our card for such a long time we were starting to get uncomfortable).
We made reservations, so we were seated right away. The table was in an odd place and really cramped. Every time someone walked by, we were getting bumped or needing to slide over. Highly recommend a reservation no matter the day. Their online reservation system is very easy to use.
Space was nicely decorated and clean. The noise level was crazy though. We decided to skip a second drink and/or dessert to escape the noise level. Maybe it was just the crowd that night or our table placement.
Wanted to love it, but the experience kind of fell short for us. Might give it another try for lunch or just to hang at the bar.

Had a lovely meal here. We did the bison and a salmon special, salmon carpaccio, and fiddlehead ferns. They have a nicely curated menu, I would have been happy with basically anything they make. Good service, sat on the patio which was lovely (but the birds were absolutely unhinged out there)

We always enjoy the Noble Lion, especially the Blood Orange Manhattan, scallops and the Noble Chops. But there is one problem that decreases our overall enjoyment of the place: It is a very noisy joint!
Once the place fills it becomes difficult to enjoy conversation. I often wonder why restaurants don’t pay attention to this. Ever go to a place, like a Willie McCoy’s, and there’s music bouncing off all the hard surfaces and everyone is hollering?
At Noble Lion there is no music, none that you might hear anyway, but a very loud din of voices competing for attention. Since it is a small restaurant with no acoustical treatment, it becomes tiring quickly.
It’s a great restaurant that deserves a visit, but I will probably only return during off-hours.
We came across Noble lion about a year ago and have been impressed each and every time we have returned. Last night special of Bison Striploin was prepared perfectly. The staff and owner Marc were a pleasant welcoming face when we arrived for my parents 57th wedding anniversary. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

People like to say, "this is some of the best food outside of (insert city)." The Noble Lion has some of the best food anywhere and amazing staff as well!
