Noble Rot

Dinner Monday-Saturday
Wine and upscale comfort foods go together at Noble Rot. The restaurant has an industrial garage door exterior, but the inside is warm and cozy, featuring a long bar made of wood salvaged from a ship wreck, and a vaulted wine cave in the back, with additional seating. I love the chef’s soulful approach (as much as his cool name, Leather Storrs).
Noble Rot is also a wine retailer, so pick something off the shelf to go with your dinner (for a modest $7 corkage fee), or choose a bottle or glass from their interesting, eclectic list.
The menu changes regularly and is not long, but always inviting. Try a not-your-usual panini such as Leek, Wild Mushroom and Baked Parmesan, or Tandoori Chicken, Saag Paneer and Mango Mustard. Entrées might be a Braised Pork Spare Ribs with Rapini ($10), or Quail Breast with Cippolini Onions and Warm Bread and Pancetta Salad ($12), or Cod with Bacon and Sautéed Greens with Veal Jus ($13).
