About
About
Noe means “ rest” or “repose,” derived from the Hebrew root Noah. Widely associated with the prominent biblical figure, the name inspires ideas of renewal and replenishment. The extraordinary nature of this restaurant and its culinary experience is sure to impress. Chef Robert Gadsby and his talented brigade are behind this long-awaited spot, and the adage is true; good things do come to those who wait. The space is cool, unapologetically simple, yet the small nature of the operation allows for uncompromising attention to detail. This is cooking that is original, impeccably executed and enormously satisfying, It’s the sort of food that makes you involuntarily nod to yourself while you’re eating, cooking that is desirable, impactful, and doesn’t need an onslaught of luxury ingredients to impress. Instead, sheer creativity is applied to hyper seasonal quality ingredients, thoughtfully created cocktails, theatrical presentations. And the service team is sharp, keen, and attentive without being fussy.
Spring
Spring is the season when the earth is reborn. Budding blossoms alight on tree branches while tender shoots burrow up through the soil while warmer temperatures start to prevail.
This freshness and newness translate to the table as well. Bright green dominates the spectrum of spring produce. Ramps, asparagus, fava beans, and artichokes flood the market. A few of Spring offerings, there are days where the weather can be somewhat temperamental with conditions that can be quite bone chilling. For that reason, our team at Noe will concoct heavier meals like braised lamb shoulder, veal, or rabbit. Dishes that still grace the table, with the welcome of spring vegetables. Alternatively, the warmer days during this season beg for lighter dishes like salads laden with sugar snap peas and mâché or seared or roasted fish and gently braised artichokes. Another rite of spring is the appearance of new and seasonally limited cheeses at the farmer’s market. The sweet spring grasses blanketing the dairy pastures add a great amount of flavor and nuance, some of my favorites, like Lively Run’s Cayuga Blue or the fresh sheep’s milk ricotta from Dancing Ewe, become available at this time of year. Or other artisanal farmstead products with limited accessibility you will be amazed by their distinct flavors and pungent aromas.
Located in the heart of downtown Barrington, guests get to relax and unwind with hors d'oeuvres and a glass of champagne before beginning dinner service. Dinner at Noe revolves around a chef-driven experience, with choices of a creative five-course tasting menu. Featuring either the omnivore or vegetarian tasting menu.
"To say that we’re beyond thrilled to finally (finally!) get open and officially ready to get into the swing of things would be an understatement of impossible magnitude”. Suffice it to say, we are just absolutely thrilled – and so genuinely grateful for your enduring patience and patronage. So many months in the making, we’re ready to throw open the doors to Noe and welcome each one of you to join the celebration with us. Please join us in celebrating our opening.
