Horrible, DJ horrible, Service Horrible, drinks HORRIBLE watered down cheap drinks, you’ll have to buy an extra shot just to get a little liquor taste..
the service is absolutely horrible. Everybody loook
Like they are on their first day.. confused timed waters that don’t know if they are working or customers themselves.. every single server back is turn to you. Getting a waiter to your table is like waiving at Beyoncé in the last roll and expected to see you

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.

My friend and I went to the restaurant yesterday to find out it was bought
by 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.

NEW OWNERS
NEVER AGAIN
WAITED FOREVER FOR FOOD AND DRINKS
DRINKS HORRIBLE
NO STEAK KNIVES
FOOD TASTED OLD
MANAGERS ATTITUDE WAS DISGUSTING.
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY
Their AFTER9 Friday content on the ig page is FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and an attempt to lure ppl in. They serve the shots in 1oz sauce cups and it’s not real alcohol and the lemon drop is served in a plastic party cup as well. I’ve never had a clear lemon drop martini. It was pure liquid sugar. The empanada meat is disgusting. It’s like they chewed it before putting it in the pastry puff. The waiter somewhat had patience for our complaints. I asked 100 times for a to go plate. I finally walked to the kitchen to get one myself 🤯 The hookah was great but doesn’t burn long b/c they use ready lights charcoal and expect you to pay full price for another b/c no refills. 2 stars b/c the first dj was amazing the second one was trash! There is 15% “party night” fee on the bill .. which I feel like they basically wanted to charge us for the drinks we sent back.

Changed owners a month ago. Wine list gone. Just cheap California wines. Three to be exact.

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!

Not the same! Food was horrible. Vivo nachos are not the same. Vivo burger was not the same. Drinks were wasted down and not worth it. We loved coming to this place but after tonight it's no longer on our top restaurant list.

I have mixed views. I went there with family and they barely spoke English. The bartenders could make the drinks properly. The food was amazing. Hookah was okay, not great.

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.
