Fodor's Review:

This is one superior fine-dining experience, all the way from the amuse-bouche to dessert. Most of the clientele are well-heeled, older residents out for a special occasion. The bread service includes honey butter, pistachio pesto, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar for your biscuits, flat breads, rolls, and foccacia, all of which are artistically presented on contemporary white dishes. A choice appetizer is tuna tartare with avocado, American caviar, and mango, drizzled with curry oil. The scallops are laudable, and fish is so fresh it practically moves on your plate, but if you are a venison lover go for the tenderloin with carrot puree, potatoes, greens, and Pinotage syrup. The molten love cake with raspberry sauce and custard ice cream is almost a requirement for dessert. The owners are Chef Patrick McNamara and his lovely bride Jenny, who runs the front of the house. A prix-fixe tasting menu is available.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Noble Fare is a rare find as it has the proper mix of great food, beautiful decor, wonderful service, and a homey feel. The food is kind of Southern updated and is quite innovative in a delicious sort of way. The husband and wife team who run the restaurant are not only gracious and welcoming, but knowledgable in all things delicious.

The menu changes almost daily as they use fresh, local ingredients. Don't pass by a dish if it uses something you don't like. For me, it was grits - I'm just not a fan - but it was prepared in a way that it enhanced the flavor of the dish. If you have the time, I highly recommend going for the tasting menu - it's 7 courses of heaven on a plate.
