I was hoping for a better experience at Nora's because it is a popular, independent, family owned place, generally the kind of restaurant I like to support. \n\nThere were three of us and we had a reservation for 7:30 PM on a weekday evening. We were quickly seated and given menus. The waiter kept prompting us to order drinks but only one of us wanted a glass of wine. We received a small basket of garlic bread which was OK. It was quite a while before our food order was taken and by the time our food arrived we had been there for 50 minutes. Two of us had the \"Crazy Alfredo.\" The third person had the pasta with broccoli. That dish was so salty as to be inedible and was sent back. It was another 15 minute wait for it to be replaced.  The two of us who had the Crazy Alfredo both thought it was OK but nothing special. Same opinion from the person who had the pasta with broccoli.\n\nAround 8:30 a female vocalist and her male musician accompanist began performing from a small stage at the front of the room. Mostly blues and song titles from the 40s & 50s. That was enjoyable.\n\nMenu prices here were average for a restaurant of this caliber. Drink prices seemed high. A glass of \"house red wine\" was $9.50. Sorry to say, but there was just not much here to draw me back again.
