NOEMA Huntington

"I celebrated my anniversary at NOEMA. This was my first time dining out at a Greek cuisine restaurant. The place itself is nice, parking was no problem. We were seated immediately, which was nice, but it was incredibly cold inside! Aside from that, the food was okay. The shrimp saganaki was the BEST shrimp dish I’ve ever had. The scallops were perfectly cooked but I wasn’t a fan of the squid ink pasta. My spouse had the lamb chops and while cooked to perfection, they were under seasoned. Overall a good experience, I wouldn’t rush to return, though."

"I really wanted to like this place, but I really did not like it! This concept is so overplayed and over done. The food did not seem to be the best quality and it just left me confused. First problem, took us 35-40 minutes to get 1 drink from when we were first seated. Apparently the bar was “backed up” no offense, you go out to eat in NYC you never have that problem, and they’re way busier then this place LOL second problem, shrimp was not deveined- that is disgusting. In 3 dishes we ordered shrimp- not a single shrimp was deveined- which is probably how they serve it but it was disgusting. Third, they “ran out” of the lobster pasta. The server promised my sister “the last lobster” and then 20 minutes later came back to tell us it was actually “sold out,” me and my friends were actually laughing out loud because we have never experienced such a thing. Lastly, we order the strawberry gelato, the server brings out chocolate and walked away! It was actually comical and we were laughing at how bad it was. Really embarrassing for NOEMA for such terrible service and overall organization. So many restaurants exactly like this concept but 100% better quality food. Literally go to Avra, Kyma or Limani instead. Saw another location is opening in Garden City- I live in the area & if all these issues carry over, it will not do well. 100% would never go back."

"A friend and I had a reservation at 5 pm in the bar area up the stairs. When we entered there was no one there, not even the waiter. Steven (the waiter never introduced himself, we found out his name later when asking) came in very serious, not friendly. He made us two Margaritas but since we felt uncomfortable we decided to go down to the living room to have dinner hoping the situation would improve. I asked if I could pay downstairs at the table at the end of dinner. He told me “No” something that impressed me a lot and when he brought the check it was the regular price not the happy hour price. When we complained, he replied that there was no happy hour menu and we told him how could it be that he offers it on his website and cannot provide it. He didn't answer. While having dinner we found out from a customer that at the bar she was enjoying happy hour not only with drinks but also with food. It is somewhat shameful that they treat customers differently. At dinner Manuel (waiter) treated us correctly but at no time did they rectify the erroneous charge. They honestly made us feel horrible. We wouldn't come back."

"What a great place, took over for 7 Gerard. Greek food looked amazing, we just had drinks and dessert. The Fig Old Fashioned and the Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini were top notch The Chocolate Cake souffle was incredible, worth the wait. This place is worth coming to. Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!"
