text: Noca is a great place for a date. It is a culinary experience, with all its style. The chefs are working extremely hard right in front of you and they have many interesting things on the menu. We had appetizers of the duck confit and some sort of sashimi. The duck confit was great and had some really fun elements, like the huckleberry waffle(?) first for me. The sashimi  special was awesome as well. we also received a small sample of a duck mousse,tasted like tuna and mayo, which was alright and some cauliflower soup, yum! I had the duo of Berkshire Pork, which was highly recommended by the waiter. It was good in an artsy sort of way, but I wasn't completely blown away. It said it came with brussel sprouts, but it was really 3 leaves of brussel sprouts, haha funny. The pork chop wasn't so great, apples added depth though, and the pork belly I didn't care for. The demi was good though. The donuts for dessert were pretty good as well. I liked the dulce de leche dip. They gave us some homemade shortbread to take home, very good. The service was wonderful. I did wait at the bar and was suggested a very nice sauv by the bartender. The place is so tiny, reservations are a must, we had to sit outside, but it was a lovely night. I wish this place had some great view overlooking the city instead of the grocery store parking lot. Managers did come up frequently to check on us and gave some insight and great suggestions. Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. I will go back and try a different entree and hopefully it will be 5 stars next time. :)
