5/7/2023 0 Comments Duly noted rather be![]() ![]() I like to think I give good conversation! She apologized and quickly brought more wine. I (Naomi) was talking to her while she was pouring Jenna’s beer into her glass, and I am so exciting she forgot to watch what she was doing and spilled some beer into my wine carafe. Our server was prompt and got us excited about the specials. When, we walked in, our initial impression was positive – nice atmosphere, décor, pleasant service. ![]() So, we’d heard a lot about Notable, all positive, so we were very excited to try it ourselves. Naomi: “I know you can overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?” If you haven’t gone, stop what you are doing and go, you won’t be disappointed!! However, the Nash (the other restaurant by chef Noble) is incredible and I would go there all day, every day. Also we had some super fun and super funny company (I want to host a chip party!) that made it spectacular. It was exactly what I had expected, a nice meal in a swanky hip atmosphere. Remarkable in the way that I would make a remark about it, and that remark would be “it was aight”. Overall I would say Notable was remarkable. It was good but I realized that I was in it for the crust and ice cream more than the chocolate itself. For dessert I enjoyed a chocolate tart with vanilla bean ice cream. The vegetables and barley risotto were a nice side but I don’t think I would go back and get the dish again. The lamb was not as tender as it could have been and it had an aromatic orange and spice flavour that reminded me of potpourri. I, like Mike and Naomi, got the lamb and it was alright. She offered to get our lovely new friend a new glass of wine since the beer also spilled into her glass, but did not offer me a new beer, noted. I also had a Kronenburg (a staple in my social drinking) or should I say most of a Kronenburg as the waitress wasn’t paying attention and filled the glass too full and spilt. They were all quite tasty and dare I say the best part of the meal, except the frites were not really doing it for us. We started off by sharing three appetizers, the elk carpaccio, the mussels and frites, and the crispy potato rolls (in order of my favourites). The interior is fairly chic and is what one would expect from a higher end restaurant with modern touches and an open kitchen so you don’t have to question whether or not actual people are cooking your food. So this time around I was excited to give Notable a real try and see what all the chatter was about. Unfortunately the portion at Notable was of the fancy variety so it ended up being five leafs of lettuce with five medallions of tuna. As a result I did what any nervous girl would have done, ordered the salad with tuna sashimi and acted like that was a super filling philly cheese steak sandwhich. The first time I went to Notable was the second time that I had ever eaten in front of Mike. It was delicious, as is everything here is, but I can’t say much more than that as I had to get Jenna to remind me what I even had.Īll in all Notable is delicious and comfortable as always, however, if I had to choose between the two I would always prefer the Nash (their sister restaurant in Inglewood). As I sat here, 18 days later, trying to remember how the lamb was, I realized that it wasn’t that memorable. I got the lamb, which has also been the theme of the last couple restaurants. We also got muscles and frites, but I am not a big muscles or frites fan so I left those to Jenna. The beef carpaccio and potato rolls were divine. The last 3 reviews all had a similar theme of the appies out shining the mains, and Notable continues this trend. I was excited, scared, and a little nervous about how the night would go. This was our second time at Notable, the first time was on our first date 2 years, 8 months, and 12 days ago where Jenna ordered only a salad to appear “lady like” on the date… Well now, the day has come, 2 years, 8 months and 12 days later that that lady has returned a woman to get a real “non-first date” taste of Notable. ![]()
