    The "dim sum" small dishes are delicious, innovative, surprising. And they keep on coming. The servers are so friendly, so efficient, and so obviously proud to work at the restaurant. That alone would keep us coming back. PS: wine isn't and can't be the primary issue at a restaurant with these amazing tastes, but their wine is good and really complements the meal.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Nopa. Beginning with the bread and butter. All I can say is order it. Next we had the Tortelli which was excellent (not to be missed). We also had the Tagliatelle with the bolognese sauce which was very good. For dessert we had the key lime pie which was good but the ice cream that came for the birthday person was outstanding. Our server who was excellent said it was ginger snap but it didn’t taste like ginger. Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday and have that ice cream.

    Once again a fantastic meal under the brilliant talented chef/owner Tony! The striped Bass was delectable with a delicious sauce that went perfectly with a side order of roasted vegetable! Will be back very soon!

    Nice patio dining! You can’t tell that 116 is on the other side if the vine covered fence. We had ahi tacos, cauliflower tacos, arugula salad with salmon and a Pub burger. Pub burger was huge and grilled to perfection. Ahi tacos were tasty but small portion which was ok since I shared mine with the person who ordered cauliflower tacos-also very good and decently seasoned. The Parmesan truffle fries were to die for and plenty to share for a table of 4 The salad and salmon looked tasty and our dining partner loved it Will be back

    Didn’t expect a hotel restaurant to be anything other than OK. Surprisingly, Tolay had great food, a good wine list, and the service was super. Despite looking under-staffed, our waiter couldn’t have been more responsive and warm (Adorable and easy on the eyes, too). Highly recommend the wagyu burger on brioche, and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Us locals are starting to find this place too!
