Fresh Milk Tea in Irvine

We had an excellent dinner at Nora. Our server, Grace, was absolutely phenomenal — warm, attentive, and genuinely made the evening better. The food was fantastic. I had the shrimp pasta with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, white wine, and lemon, and it was fresh, bright, and delicious. My partner had the short rib ... ravioli, which was rich, tender, and full of flavor. We also really enjoyed the complimentary focaccia with olive tapenade. The space itself is beautiful, with such a cool Mediterranean feel. The greenery, warm lighting, blue tones, and overall decor made the restaurant feel really special without being stuffy. Dessert was a highlight too. I had the pot de crème, which was this incredible dark chocolate and cherry combination, and my partner had the chocolate gelato. Both were excellent. The bottled water felt a little extravagant at $7 a bottle, but everything else about the meal was so good that it didn’t take away from the experience. Great food, wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, and a genuinely lovely dinner. We’d absolutely come back next time we’re in town! Read More

Had dinner there a few days ago. The food was good and the traditional dessert Seada was very intriguing and yummy. You should try it for sure. They also have mocktails which worked perfectly for me. The place is very cozy and they have several seating options. I'd recommend they play something else other than MMA on ... the TV at the bar though 😉 Read More

I cannot give enough detail on how absolutely amazing this restaurant is! First of all, our bar tender/waitress Irina was an absolute blessing! She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and the drinks she made were beyond delicious! She absolutely deserves a raise for the service she provided. The food ... was beyond words. Nothing in my vocabulary can describe how amazingly the flavors melted together and made this a one of a kind experience. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your culture and creativity. It was fabulous! Read More

Had a delicious meal of Fried Calamari, complementary focaccia bread, wine, Linguine Vongole e Bottarga and Culurgiones al Brasato di Manzo. Every bite was delicious. The fried calamari was crisp and came with two different sauces a tartar sauce and a romesco sauce giving a lot of flavor and depth to the dish. The ... Linguine was light but full of flavor. I have always worried if it would come out with not enough sauce or too heavy on the oil. This was a perfect mix bringing out the bottarga with that slight salty addition. We also had the raviolis stuffed with slow-braised short rib. This was by far the most tasty ravioli we have ever had with an amazing and hearty sause. If you like mushrooms these mix of roasted mushrooms have amazing flavor and texture. Highly recommend! We will be back soon! Read More

We had a great lunch here. Not too expensive, and quality food. Service was good, ambiance was nice. We enjoyed the meal and they bring some real good bread to start!
