What makes it fun
Chef Amante Domingo created Noka, a Japanese farmhouse-style restaurant. Noka, which means "farmer" in Japanese, is a tribute to Domingo's late father, with the bookcases on one wall even been built from the wood of his dad's farm's 150-year-old barn. The communal tables that seat 20 people apiece add to the exquisite, unobtrusive design. The menu is made up of inventive and visually appealing small plates, many of which incorporate fresh seafood. The serving staff is so attentive that it's practically instinctive for them to clear empty dishes and replenish beverages as soon as they notice a need.
