text: noca went from being one of my top restaurants in AZ to having a and chance of my ever returning or recommending After making sure to mention on the Open Table reservation my special request for gluten free dining as well as a clear understandable conversation tableside with my server prior to ordering it was obvious that the front of the house lacks knowledge about what a gluten free diet entails The back of the house also has a lack of creativity about keeping the spirit and integrity of their dish when accommodating a gluten free request The communication between the two is noticeably weak Who would have thought that cooking without flour would be so difficult when everything noca prepares is made to order Is frying an egg without crusting it that challenging Missing this simple awareness makes those with a gluten intolerance feel as if his or her dining experience is not as important as those without food aversions Overall the quality and value have all gone downhill as far as I am concerned There is no attention to detail and appreciation of a well timed elegant dining experience Forced insensitive and rushed service makes for a very angstridden uneasy evening
