Below average experience.
The food was honestly not good. The spaghetti alla bottarga got no unami flavor, we couldn’t taste any fish toe but just strong acidity from the lemon, which was way too overpowering.
Beef cut was too chewy, pork was better but not standing out.
The appetizer of carppacio is very normal, mushroom underneath but not very well integrated in flavor. Sea bream cheek was meh-ok, standard olive oil with some balsamic.
The tuna sauce of potato is too bad, the fishy-ness all came out.
Dessert – the citrus mascarpone one has good composition, salt and olive oil on top are nice. But the signature tarte noire is just a dense chocolate cake, all of us have tasted some bitterness.
Only dish worth eating is the tagliatelle alla bolognese. Good in texture, taste and classic.
Service was bad, the waiter was not very patient. Gave our table the wrong order two times, once from the other table, then taking away and didn’t apologize. Then second forgot about the sauce on side note. I still tipped reasonably but now I kind of regret it for the below average food experience and service.
That’s all, would not recommend.

We had an amazing experience at Nora Gray. We ate at the bar. The food was so delicious, interesting and so well executed. Ben who was at the bar looked after us. He was amazing. He had great suggestions for food wine and digestifs. Truly a great evening. Thanks Nora Gray and Ben, we’ll be back.

Great vibe, very decent food. Service was exceedingly slow. Very, very slow service, though the service in general was very polite and gave good insight on the menu. Meal easily took 30-45 minutes longer than it needed to just on service time, and I am not one to nitpick on this, it just killed the flow of an otherwise great dinner.
The food was great quality. Asparagus was great, along with all the pastas. The beef was tough, though it was well cooked with a great sauce. The pork was also very tasty.
I would go back, but only if the service issues are fixed.

The food and atmosphere were incredible. We ordered the beef appetizer with their focaccia and the mushroom pasta special and pork dish. We usually don’t get dessert but loved every dish so decided on the chocolate dish. It was all so delicious! The staff was also very friendly and helpful with wine and food descriptions. I would recommend to anyone!

Maybe I had too high hopes for Nora Gray, because last night’s birthday dinner with my wife was a bit of a letdown, and I’m blaming the wine. We ordered the “Teresa Cascina Tavijn” red Italian wine, which was far too acidy and lacked a complexity of flavour. Choosing the right wine is so important. It can make or break and evening at an upscale restaurant like Nora Gray. Our waitress was amazing and gave us an in depth explanation of the food and wine, so it’s nobody’s fault but our own for choosing one that wasn’t to our tastes. Nora Gray’s service and atmosphere is truly top notch, in this warm and cosy nook of a restaurant. One of the highlights of the evening was the “Flétan de la Gaspésie, salsa d’oignons brûlés, petit lait, Ciabot del Moreto ’20”, which was a powerhouse of flavour and left us both raving. The “Viola Olive Oil” from Cucina Imports that we asked to be poured on a small dish was one of the best olive oils I’ve ever tasted, and well worth the $4 fee. It was perfect for wiping up with the “Focaccia Maison”. Unfortunately, one of the low points of the night was the “Battuta de boeuf, puntarelle, anchois, ail” which was far too chewy for a tartare. Tartare is supposed to be so tender that it melts in your mouth, but this was so gummy that I had to give up on champing and hide bits of half eaten beef in my napkin. Another dish that was less than memorable was the “Farro de Pacina, jus de volaille, poivre”. So, at one point our night out wasn’t looking great, but thankfully it was saved by a mind blowingly spectacular desert called the “Mousse chocolat et ricotta, crème à l’huile d’olive, noisettes”. It was a prefect blend of sweet, salt and more scrumptious olive oil. In the end, I would recommend giving Nora Gray a try and hopefully you’ll have better luck with the wine. I heard that they have an outdoor patio in the summer time, which sounds like fun.

Service was super friendly and attentive, really described every dish well and helped with the wine pairing as well. music and decor were a vibe
The halibut melted in your mouth, the snow crab pasta special had a decent amount of snow crab, they had a really nice coffee Negroni, perfectly balanced. The olive oil ice cream worked well and is a must try along with the best amaretti cookies I’ve ever had (they had that soft chewy inside, hard crisp on the outside texture that I love about macarons). Affogato was typical but nice.
I wouldn’t recommend the beef tartare type dish (overpowered by the fennel) or the cod stuffed pasta (small portion, nothing memorable).

Beautiful dinner spot close to downtown. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. The outside patio is beautiful. Food is all incredibly fresh and the menu changes weekly. Highly recommend.

We managed to get a table for 4 people last minute (1 hour before reservation time on a Tuesday).
Let start by saying that the female server we had was absolutely adorable and super knowledgeable about the menu. That’s about the only upside.
We arrived 5 minutes in advance and the table wasn’t ready until 30 minutes past our reservation time which was kind of annoying. We just stood there waiting for the table before us to leave.
The food is way too over priced for what it is. Basically the main course is simply not filling and not worth the price. Chickpeas, plain pasta and olive oil for $38 + tax is unreasonable. It’s not even a big enough portion for a main course.
Atmosphere was SO noisy.
I would honestly not recommend coming l here which is disappointing because we live just around the corner and we were looking forward to trying this place for a long time.

Not my first time at Nora Gray.. it just seems to get better every time I step inside . Tonight is beyond exceptional!! We decided to eat at the bar instead of our table reservation, it was one of the most memorable experience at Nora Gray!!! The staff is friendly courteous tonight I want to mention Ben working the Bar area, he is one dedicated staff member who is concerned with you having an amazing experience.. the food was impeccable and the wine pairing was spot on .. thank you to Ben and everyone at Nora gray for a memorable evening

this was a wonderful saturday night meal with the family. a super elegant spot with a calming and cozy aesthetic. from the wine to the pasta everything was divine. we got a half plate of each pasta, the beef tartare, shrimp, olives, focaccia and every dessert. highlights were the lemon butter pasta and the chocolate mousse. the wine was incredible too. great service, great vibes, amazing food. what a perfect for spot for a date night too. immaculate.
