What people say, in short
Nobie's draws recommendations for contemporary American cooking in a dimly lit house setting. Different diners single out sweet tots and tartare, while one remembers a seasonal uni crab pasta. One commenter recommends saving room for pie, but another found a birthday pie disappointing. It comes up for dates and solo meals at the bar. Noise, expense and a visitor's disappointing meal temper the praise.
