Noble Fare

Noble Fare 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.

    Highly recommended by our B&B as a chef/owner restaurant with excellent food.
    4 of us. Took 30 mins to get our drinks, 3 different beers out of stock. Cocktails were good. Took another 30 mins to place our orders & get bread. After another 15 mins the starters arrived, soup good, tomato & mozzarella very average. Aonther 15-20 mins before the main courses arrived. 2 fish, 1 steak, 1 duck. Only the duck deserves comment as good. Asked for a 2nd bottle of wine and told we had the last one - a Chilean Pinot Noir. An expensive so-so wine list, so we finished our meal with water. We were offered free dessert but opted for coffee & liqueurs. Tries to be something it is not. Would not return.

    Noble Fare was everything I expected and more. The service was friendly and the food was excellent. You could tell that the ingredients were extremely fresh. I would recommend this to anyone looking for classy dining in a romantic setting.

    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.
