Restaurants near Crawford Park

Took our parents here for their birthday’s and it did not disappoint. From the front door you immediately walk into a swanky little restaurant with a bar area and we got taken upstairs to eat our meal in the main dining area. I believe Kelly (not sure of the spelling) was our waitress and she did a phenomenal job. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Roll, the Potstickers, and Brussels as our appetizers and they were all fabulous. Their Caesar Salad was very good. Across the table we order the Braised Short Rib, the Scallops, the Korean Skirt Steak, and the Bolognese and each one was incredible. The portion sizes of everything weren’t overwhelming which was very nice. For dessert we got the Molten Butter Cake and Bread Pudding and they were both fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and we’ll for sure be back sometime in the future.

We were super excited to get a reservation at Noko because our friends (who are serious foodies and excellent home chefs) recommended Noko as their favorite restaurant. Noko did not disappoint! The welcome as we entered was warm and generous, they took my coat and hung it for me. : ) we had a small table in the dining room that was reserved, but opted to sit at the bar! It was fantastic! Our bartender Jena was super knowledgeable and so kind. She had many diners at the bar and took great care to engage with everyone. We started with sake and beer, a very interesting sake selection, and had spicy tuna crispy rice & hamachi crudo to start both so flavorful and delicious, then moved on with burnt ends with lettuce both of us LOVED this dish and really enjoyed the delicate crab fried rice! We had the Caesar salad which we shared but could have had my own it was so tasty! Our meal was so delightful we didn’t save room for dessert! We might try to go back tonight for dessert to try the coconut cake with wood fired pineapple or the brookie with Chocolate brownie, black sesame cookie, miso caramel, vanilla gelato! Our only missed opportunity due to dining so late is we missed the dumplings!! No doubt they are as fantastic as all the dishes we tried! Make a reservation ASAP, the food, drinks and staff are⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Might I add that we went to a distillery recommended by Jenna and ran into another couple that was seated at the bar too!! Great recommendation, thank you Jenna! You nailed it!

My mew favorite spot! Food is off the charts! Prices are excellent value. Highly recommend this restaurant it’s worth every penny!!

The food was great and the service was great too! They weren’t aware that they took reservations, so that was a little awkward, but thankfully they weren’t busy and were able to seat us quickly.

The waiter was at the top of his game. He made you feel welcomed, greeted the fathers with a Father's Day greeting, and the food was plentiful and good. The waiter listened to our requests and followed what we asked. The afternoon was enjoyable.
