Norah

I recently had dinner at Norah restaurant in West Hollywood and was so impressed. It is a hidden gem in West Hollywood with a cute decor and an indoor-outdoor dining room. I find it rare to have a family-style dinner where you sample a bunch of different dishes and love every single one. There is not a dish that isn't bursting with flavor at Norah. There is definitely a Mediterranean influence in the spices and vegetables used in the dishes. I think my favorite dish was between the cauliflower tartare and the eggplant and cauliflower salad. The crispy octopus was very tasty too, but had a more Asian flavor which didn't fit as well with everything else we ordered. I would say the "least" (but still really tasty!) dish were the meatballs. We finished our meal off with a really interesting corn ice cream. I unfortunately didn't photograph our cocktails but we all tried different ones and they were all wonderful! I'll definitely be back here and recommend everyone goes as well.
