Best Lunch Restaurants in Noe Valley

Seated quickly at a lovely table. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was spectacular. I love the simple elegant Greek salad . The lamb rib lets are cooked to perfect tenderness and simple flavors without being overpowered with herbs. Look forward to next time

I tried the Hemproot NA Cocktail, based on ginger beer and loved it. Very sweet, though. We shared an appetizer of grilled octopus, which came with some fava beans, and a lovely sauce -- it was delicious. He had a very spicy italian sausage pasta dish which he enjoyed, and I had the farro salad as my entree and loved it -- farro, butternut squash, kale, mint, spiced pumpkin seeds, and passion fruit seeds. I also had a glass of Syrah with my meal, which was great. We'll be coming back and trying more of their dishes.

I learned there is a new head chef from famous prior restaurants and food is incredible!! The atmosphere and ambiance was fun and warm that could be low-key as well as elevated. It’ll be a favorite in the area

Bistro Ember was the perfect spot for my birthday dinner date. The decor lends an intimate, warm atmosphere and the service was excellent; friendly but professional. We loved our food which was beautifully presented and delicious. We ordered beet salad, salmon, manti (Turkish dumplings) and fettuccine with prawns, which were all splendid. Their signature dessert, a chocolate coffee cake, is not to be missed. We can't wait to return and try other delights!

We loved the welcoming staff and server. The food is delicious, and the drinks are original (not a full bar). But we were rushed toward the end of our meal because all the other patrons had left, and the staff wanted to close up. In total, we were in only for 56 min, and at 8:00 pm, we were in the street. I didn't have time to finish my drink. We will again, though.
