Amazing. The mole is awesome, the fish was so well cooked. The tlayuda was amazing. So sad it’s closing. Every dish just slaps. The drinks are also great takes on a classic. Do not pass on the dessert!

This was our second time at De Noche. The food was fantastic like I remembered. We sat at the kitchen counter the last time and I liked that better than the alcove we were put in this time. It's a small place and it felt a bit cramped. I'd recommend the counter for a more rich experience. Food was great. Service was mostly great...Miguel in particular.

De Noche was a lovely place to celebrate a birthday. We did the full menu which was reasonably priced for how much food the two of us ate and each dish was wonderful. Unique flavors and combinations from start to finish. And that carrot cake to top it off! I wouldn't change a thing and we'll be back.

This restaurant is incredible. The food is delicious and creative. The service is impeccable. So rare to find a restaurant where every single dish exceeds expectations. Reservation recommended for dinner.

Could not have been more pleasantly surprised with our meal here. The staff is amazing and our chef “experience” meal was so totally killer. I would eat here every day if I did not live in Maine.

We went here for my mom’s birthday dinner. WOW! What a treat. We did the vegetarian tasting menu and added 2 additional dishes. There was plenty of food for four people. The salmon mole was such a delight but the biggest surprise was the vegetarian ceviche. Who knew apples could taste like seafood?? Amazing!

Our 4th time back. Elevated but authentic Mexican food. The fresh made corn tortillas are a reason to go on its own. A recent friend we took here also raved about the mole.
While not cheap, I think it’s a good value for what you get. The staff is so kind, and the chefs seem to be enjoying themselves - and it shows in the food! They are always changing up the menu.
Very vegetarian and pescatarian friendly. Most dishes seem like they’d work for vegans as well. They’ll swap in good mushrooms or other veggies for the meat dishes. I like that you can go a La carte or do “the whole menu for two”.

Service was great, food was really good as well. First time for us and definitely didn't disappoint on the flavors and spices they bring into their dishes. The only reason I put four stars instead of five was the cocktails, they felt a little light on the liquor compared to other restaurants in downtown but were same price point.

The food and service was outstanding. Did the tasting menu. A great choice. Plenty of food. Too much for us. The carrot cake was over the top! Love this place and will be back.
Had an absolutely fantastic experience at De Noche for Día de las Madres. Being first generation, the food brought me the best memories of my childhood. The presentation is awesome, but the flavors didn’t disappoint. Warning their menu changes consistently but you won’t be disappointed. The Mole Pipián was my favorite dish. Provecho.

I truly had no idea what I would order when I saw the menu. There were chapulines, which seem to be grasshoppers, and huitlacoche, which seems to be a sort of fungus that grows on corn. In the end everything was unexpectedly good especially the peas esquite and carrot cake.

Next level food, prepared with a sincere dedication to the craft. Fine-dining Oaxacan food complemented by PNW ingredients. It really works. Good place to try a variety of mezcales as well.
