In Short
An array of drink specials ($5 margs, $1 beers) and a menu built for the masses keeps this brightly-colored Highlands cantina slammed on a nightly basis. The affordable style and primo location attract a diverse crowd: stalwart scenesters starting their night with a light nosh; upwardly mobile 20- and 30-somethings sipping margaritas after work; and Emory seniors who nurse pitchers of beer and flirt with the upbeat, if slightly scatterbrained, servers. The "tapas" menu is more about style than authenticity and caters to every taste imaginable. Barbecue chicken pizza, mini burgers and other Americanized favorites get a dusting of Southwest flavor, making any one dish hard to hate. Juicy fried chicken comes with chipotle mashed potatoes, fish tacos are spiked with jalapeno tartar sauce and cornmeal-crusted fried green tomatoes rate as consistent winners. Not everything has to be authentic to be successful.

$10 monday meal is far and away the worst meal I've ever approached. Compatriots' reviews were varied but consistent: "This is McDonald's quality food without the taste." Diner 1: "They are clearly using leftovers from the weekend. Diner 2: I'm certain that the leftovers' came from the waiters' personal themselves." For god's sake, we were served Penne pasta with texas chili. Really, that's what spanish tapas are about? What's surprising is that this course was actually more authentic than the first course which was weak-old iceberg with a dash of some gelatinous foul dressing. The tragic food somehow exceeded the service which was plagued with indifference, apathy, and self-hatred. The only logical explanation for the waiters' detached dreariness is that they are forced to sample the food which they serve. The dinner was an abomination of every sort. I'm embarrassed to have darkened the door of this establishment with zero self-respect. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Noche, where you constantly wonder if you're on candid camera.

Noche has become one of my top favorites and has converted me into a true Tapas fan. The tapas are generous, incredible, yet affordable. The $8.00 marinated skirt steak tapas plate is affordable, plentiful, and to die for. The mini lamb gyros will melt in your mouth. The $9 lobster tail tapas plate was also amazing...yes $9 for lobster tail! The ambiance is very cool Virginia-Highlands style with hardwood floors and an artsy vibe. Our waiter Michael was simply amazing. He was there at every turn to pour wine for us and make excellent suggestions. I love that they offer $12-$14 glasses of wine for $7.00 on special. I highly recommend Noche.

The breezy terrace in the back is in high demand. Call early and make reservations. If you're not opposed to eating indoors, you can typically snag a table on weekday nights without a reservation.
