I’d walk across the street to Winchester and Rye all day long. The Noble Lion fell short on everything except a couple of apps and dessert. Gosh I hate leaving a bad review but everything is so expensive these days and I know how much I rely on reviews so I wanted give an honest one here. The Gouda cheese curds were very bland (but the sauces were excellent). I enjoyed my grilled Caesar salad and my friend loved her salmon with crusty bread.
For our entrees, I ordered the halibut. The fish was completely dry on the outside, and overcooked so it was tough. The risotto was good, but I’ve have much much better risotto. Her ribeye was so thin we thought she got the wrong order. We also ordered a third entree because it was the special - braised short rib - that meat was delish, but the baked (?) risotto with that was bland and tasted funny. Everything just needed salt/seasoning.
My friend ordered a glass of red wine ($24) and it was served in a white wine glass. And the silverware was something you’d find in a Denny’s and the steak knives wood handles were rough. All the flatware was dingy.
For the prices, we just had higher expectations. Our waitress didn’t know the menu either.
Dessert was Crem brûlée and that was excellent as was the key lime cheesecake.
The management/owner needs to step up their game. Most people dine out for the whole experience so all of it matters.
I’m not even interested in giving them a second chance.
