We thought CR Noma looked like a hole in the wall sandwich shop until we read some reviews and realized we had to check this place out! Very cute space inside with twinkling lights and modern design. They also have TVs set up behind the bar like a sports bar, which was nice during the Olympics. The menu offers an array of Mediterranean cuisine, and everything we tried was delicious. The hummus, "cigars", the pita and were all *chef's kiss*. My favorite was the hummus and warm fluffy pita. I ordered the pastrami poblano, which was hearty and salty. It was very good, but it was a bit too salty. The fries were awesome! We left stuffed and brought home leftovers! I would definitely come back to try more menu items.

Stopped off at CR NoMa for a team happy hour and had a good time. The place has a nice vibe to it and the staff was really friendly. We ordered plenty of appetizers and liked them all. I really enjoyed the various dips and flatbreads. They have a full bar and made very good Old Fashioned's that were to my liking. I hope we come back again for another team celebration.

The food at Carving Room was absolutely phenomenal!! I wish I could have ordered everything from the menu. We started with one of their specials, arayes (pita stuffed with brisket and spices) and hummus with crispy lamb. Both of these were absolutely delicious and reminded me so much of my time in the Middle East. We then had the schnitzel and the pastrami Cuban. Again, both were amazing. The schnitzel reminded me of home, so delicious. The cocktails were yummy too! It's super cute inside and really well run. The service was great and can't wait to come back. So delicious!

Went to CR NoMa on New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. Things got off to a great start before we even got there because they graciously allowed us to move our reservation time at the last minute. When we arrived our server immediately let us know that happy hour prices were ending in a few minutes so that she could quickly get our first drink order in. We were pleasantly surprised to see they had a special NYE menu - $75 for 3 courses including a glass of bubbly! It was a great deal and we got to try a lot of things. Standouts were the delicious pita bread with dips, the chicken kabob was so tender it practically melted in our mouths, and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly. The service was warm and friendly and we appreciated that the music was at good volume, loud enough to enjoy but low enough to have a normal conversation. We will be back!

This place is awesome! My kids picked it for Father's Day breakfast and there was plenty of seating for our 8-person group, and a stroller. Mostly high top seating and bar seating but there were tables and booths too. The service was so friendly, it felt like family, which helped because theres always that one person who isn't going to be satisfied with their order. They remade the french toast without raspberry sauce on request, but I thought it complemented the syrup and toast perfectly. My favorite had to be the coffee though, which comes with cream or oat milk.

Again, I can't get enough of this place. I tried the dips trio and they were amazing! It came with warm pita that was so flavorful and tasty. The service is always great! Bar seating is nice and the servers are pretty quick.

The absolute best hummus I have ever had. The portion was very large the only down side is it only came with one pita (which was delicious and hot all the way through). You do have the option to order a side pita. Cool space with open windows and a nice bar area. Definitely recommend!

Abysmal service can really impact a diner's experience. Such was the case here yesterday. If I was judging CR solely on their food, I'd rate them higher. Unfortunately, a series of mistakes, service apathy, and later, combativeness, made CR a one and done for me.My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch ahead of our train home yesterday. We were seated at a table right away, which we appreciated. Otherwise we would've grabbed bar seats.Our server asked what we'd like to drink. My friend ordered the fall sangria and I said I'd do the same. She later only brought one sangria so I mentioned I had ordered one too. She gave me a disgruntled face and then headed back to the bar. When she came back, my sangria didn't have any fruit in it like my friend's, so I asked for some. She looked extremely irritated at this point but took it back to add some.We each ordered from the pastrami section, so over $20 each for the sandwiches. I asked to sub the ketchup for mayo for my fries that came with the Cuban and that wasn't a problem. Until the bill came and I was charged $1.50 for the mayo. I mentioned this to the server and she couldn't have looked more agitated. She said that their Mayo is "house made" and it's on the menu so I guess I should've apparently just known about the literally insane upcharge. I told her that I would've appreciated if she had told me about the upcharge. She eventually agreed to take it off the bill, but her energy was extremely rude. I also checked the photos I took of the menu...not on it. It's only on their website, which...why would I look at that when I was given a hard copy? I try to give servers grace being that it's not an easy job, but I work in customer service myself and would never behave that way.I would've asked for a manager but by that point we needed to hustle to our train. Of note, she never checked on us after our food was delivered -- we had to hail her over for checks. And my friend ordered donuts that were also never brought over. She was bummed since she was craving something sweet.All told, our experience here was the opposite of sweet.

My first visit here was a very good experience. Our server was very attentive and friendly and we all liked our food. Adding another positive commentary on the shrimp avocado flatbread! Very unique and appreciated they could leave the Serrano peppers off for me. My husband liked his burger. The margarita flatbread also looked great and the salad looked very fresh.
