    This was one of the best meals that I have ever tried. Nota Bene is one of those hidden gems that I highly recommend. We were a table of 7 and every meal was delicious.

    Food was finished before the wine ever arrived. 200$ is a lot to spend on a bottle of wine, a salad and two pastas.

    Pre-theatre dining. This was amazing value, good service and great food. We arrived late and assumed we would only have time for an appetizer. Our waiter was fantastic and accommodating. We were quickly provided water and a summary of the 3 courses which could be served in our timeframe. Wonderful! Highly recommend.
