    We were told we had to leave by a certain time when we arrived because they were overbooked—not our fault or problem. Totally unacceptable. The food was OK and the service wasn’t great. Our waitress didn’t seem to know what anything was and didn’t come by the table much. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco and she just placed it on the table with glasses and left. We weren’t given a wine cooler and she didn’t even open it. Really disappointed especially because we spent ~$200 for 3 adults and a child.

    The fish and chips entree is delicious and very tasty. I’ve had twice within the past month. The bambolini was a great choice also. Thanks to Nomad for another great meal.

    This restaurant is not clean. Ultimately, nothing else matters. They need to rethink their operations.

    Food was amazing. Service needs a bit of help…they brought us someone else’s wine and someone else’s food. Servers were very nice, polite and knew the menu very well. Tables were a bit close so you hear other’s conversations which isn’t all that unusual for restaurants. We will return for sure and I would recommend it to others if you’re chill.
