Easily one of, if not the best restaurant in the city. If you haven't tried Nolia yet, do not wait any longer, and if you haven't been back, the menu updates with every new season. Don't miss out on this restaurant!

Always delicious, relaxing, accommodating with great service. Never disappointed. Menu is creative and seasonal. Love the pick three option and we always do that to get a broader sampling of the chefs creations. Last night we got into a real traffic mess and were quite late and they were so gracious when we finally showed up!

My wife and I went for the first time for her birthday. We were greeted at the door by our waiter, and he acknowledged her birthday, which was great! We were seated early, which was great, and our server went over the options and his favorites. We went with the flat bread, and then the filet. It was all very delicious. We plan on coming back to try the brunch.
