Hightail It to Noah’s Cafe for a ‘Harvest Harmony’ Pop Up, Oct. 21st

In case you hadn’t already heard, last month Noah’s Cafe celebrated their four-year anniversary! If you didn’t manage to venture out to the West End to congratulate owner/chef Cliff Chi and the rest of the Japanese restaurant’s crew, then we’ve got the perfect opportunity to do just that: by joining one of two seatings at the Harvest Harmony pop-up, happening next week.

Begin next week on a high note by enjoying a seven-course autumn- and Japanese-inspired dinner featuring Kiko Nakata (pastry chef at Tall Shadow Bakery) who will be cooking alongside Noah’s own Cliff and Tatsuki. We know that Monday isn’t a conventional day to dine out…but we promise that you can still be home at a reasonable hour (if you want to) by reserving an early spot at 5pm. Alternately, seats for the 7:45pm service are also still available.

Tickets are $80 per person for all of your food (beverages are extra). Take your pick of time slot while you still can by locking in your reservation here.

And for even more, tantalizing inspiration check out the menu below:
