I think that the author was very accurate for the most part. Nobles is such a clean, friendly, and happening place especially for the 21 to early thirties crowd. But even the older crowd enjoys going there and eating their food. I have had teachers of all ages come and say how wonderful it is and how different it is from the rest of the bars around (in a positive way).

Did the author of this article actually try the food, or did they take the owner's word for it? The food is terrible. I can't think of any restaurant anywhere near Canton Square with worse food.

I'd love to go to this event, as I am a huge fan of Duff Goldman! It's a shame the ticket prices are so high! This teacher can't afford it!

I enjoyed the article, and know first hand how good the food is, and the reviewer did well to mention the high quality of ingredients - a Gino Troia hallmark always. Perhaps readers will like to know that the grocery store two doors down carries a nice selection of wine that diners are welcome to bring for themselves.
