Reviews Norah

Well hidden location with a quaint and symmetrical atmosphere. I arrived when they opened at 11AM for brunch. I was lucky enough to be one of the only people eating at the time. The steak and eggs. Both of which were absolutely perfect! The steak has the perfect combination of fat and steak for the morning. The sauce was delicious. I spread it across everything. The eggs were a great creamy flavor pair with the steak. The biggest shock to me qere the potatoes. Usually just a part of the plate that never are considered a highlight. These potatoes were top tier and to me added hearty to the trio. They stole the show. They look like chicken wings. I totslly thought they were.

Excellent food, excellent service and spirit-free cocktails that were actually good! We really enjoyed the sharing plates and the cornbread really is great.

This place is great! If you were feeling like a lot of refreshing new American dishes in a tapa style format to share with a group friends, this is THE place. We loved their cornbread so much we had to get two orders. Don’t get me started on their pizza , warm, freshly baked, thin crust yumminess. The prices are pretty good given the quality of the food. A lot of plant based dishes! I love the feta whip stuffed shishito peppers ! They were also able to alter the cocktails to mock tails for those of us who don’t drink and alter the spicy levels on the margarita for one of our friends who couldn’t handle spice (they’re super friendly and flexible). My fav for the summer was there mozzarella and peaches dish! They also had an amazing eggplant dip. All n all we enjoyed all the food we ordered and our friends from out of town really enjoyed it too! Lastly, the waiters are super friendly, enthusiastic and attentive. Nothing took more than 10-15 mins to arrive at the table ! The ambiance in the little patio outside is amazing, it’s small and cozy with nice lighting and a propane heater for extra warmth if you need it. They do have valet for $11 if you don’t feel like looking for parking.

Been waiting for a while now to go to Norah, and since the covid restrictions were lifted recently I jumped at the opportunity. We were a bit late to a 8pm reservation but it was okay. The staff were very friendly and asked us what we wanted to drink while we wait for our table: it was very busy for a Friday evening but that’s also probably because restrictions were just lifted. The cocktails were delicious. I tried the passion fruit margarita and the kiwi sour. Both typical cocktails with a nice twist. The food was also very good. You’re meant to share the plates. We got the cornbread which is a must! Make sure to put some of the butter on top. We also got the gnocchi and a pizza. It’s also a really nice atmosphere outside at the back. Make sure to be seated there if you can. Be prepared to pay around $80 per person. Will definitely be adding this to my favorites in West Hollywood!

The brunch here was just perfection. We had the Little Gem salad, Calabrese pizza and yellowtail crudo. And a couple of cocktails. Everything was amazing, top notch food/drinks and service all around. The menu was a little bit smaller than what I’m used to. But what was there was more than enough. The interior design of the place was just so artsy, funky and beautiful. Parking tip... we parked at the City Hall garage. A tiny bit of a wait for the high tech motorized garage but cheap enough and only a block away.

This is my second time dining at Norah during COVID; both times were Brunch. This is a super cute restaurant tucked away on Santa Monica Blvd. with plenty of outdoor seating on the sidewalk and in their back patio. Parking Unfortunately, Norah does not offer valet during Brunch. However, we found metered parking. Ambiance Upon arrival, I was welcomed with a very friendly Host. I was seated in the back patio. The overall vibe of the restaurant is modern with a touch of chic and gorgeous ceramic serve ware (see photos). Customer Service I want to start off by saying the Floor Manager, Charles was extremely helpful and more than accommodating to my needs. My server, Matt (and the rest of the staff) was knowledgeable of the menu and friendly. Matt also checked up on us from time to time, making sure I was okay which was greatly appreciated. Food Quality I would describe the food as very LA - European / French with a little bit Mediterranean. All the food was cooked well. Presentation was on point and modern. Flavors were bold but made sense with each dish. Portion sizes were a perfect amount; not too much, not too little. Some of my favorite dishes that I would recommend are the Cast Iron Corn Bread (their specialty butter is amazing), Eggplant and Cauliflower (my Husband's favorite, the charred cauliflower, tahini sauce, pistachios and fresh herbs are to die for), and the Breakfast Pizza (with each bite, there is a hint of sweetness in the cheese that is so interesting, MUST TRY). Will I be back again? Yes. Would I recommend this place to my friends and family? Double YES. :)

Gorgeous night time date spot, with fabulous cocktails and great food. Recommend the Blackbird cocktail for gin lovers. The cornbread is out of this world, heap that delicious butter on it and enjoy a creamy, savory bite with a perfect amount of rosemary. The braised short rib was fantastic, rich and rewarding. The gnocchi was good, but they didn't have truffles and I felt like the English peas overpowered without them. That said I look forward to trying it with truffles when their supply is sorted, because I could see the English peas being great when paired with the truffles. Without them, the dish was still good but it didn't feel complete. All that led to a great overall experience, but the MVP award goes to our waiter Kyle, and the rest of the wait staff. He made us feel like we were having a personalized experience, giving great suggestions and asking all the little questions to turn our experience to a five star one.

We had a great meal at Norah! The back patio was beautiful. The cornbread is a great way to start your meal. The pizza had a great crust. The prosciutto pizza had a garlic cream sauce, which wasn't called out on the menu. We had the spicy salami. It was delicious but I wouldn't consider it spicy. The chocolate chip cookies were a great end to our meal.
