    We picked this restaurant out of a handful within a short walk to the Luminary Arts Center. Since I noticed in previous reviews that it was noisy, I requested the most quiet spot available. We were happy they showed us to the window tables which worked for us. Service was great. I particularly liked the Loosen Riesling and the Miso Walleye!

    Food was excellent. Quite noisy, but we were given a booth with high backs and were able to easily hear conversation at our table. Love seeing the place was busy with lots of young people and a mix of other ages. Minneapolis is alive and well. Wishing Nolos lots of success.
