About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
“This is food the way we like to eat,” says Joe Davi, Founding Partner at Nona Blue.
Davi and Bill Bona, also Founding Partner at Nona Blue, saw American dining trending toward smaller portions with different tastes; sharing at tables had always been an option, now it was being encouraged. As the vision for Nona Blue began to come into focus, Bona and Davi began crafting their “Shareables” menu, featuring items that can be passed among an entire table or serve as a meal for a single guest.

    Were visiting family in Lake Nona area and this wqas their suggestion for dinner one night sounded like their go-to place. Lucky them - good food (don't miss the in house chips and bechamel or the corn soup). I had the Asian steak salad and it is a winner. We are from Philly which has a strong restaurant game - if you open a restaurant bring your A-game or you will close sonn., I think the same thing is true in ORL and this place brings its A-game. We will be back.

    Busy Mothers Day but we made reservations way ahead if time and got seated immediately upon arrival. Server was not as attentive as expected. Not sure where she was most of the time as she did not have any other tables around us. We waited on water refills and waited a long time to bring our check. May have checked on us once during the entire visit. Food was EXCELLENT and came out in a timely fashion. Over all very good place to have an enjoyable meal!

    This was by far the worst dining experience I’ve had in a very long time. Chloe the manager on duty should not be working with people. I made a reservation to seat outside, the hostess did ask if we were ok sitting on a high chair we said ok and didn’t think anything of it. Once we got to our table I helped my mom seat but she is short and she was uncomfortable, she could hardly reach the table, I asked the waiter if there a more comfortable table he said yes the corner table, please go sit there and I’ll let the hostess know. Then Chloe comes and says you cannot seat there, I said the waiter said we could and the original table was too high for my mom, she said didn’t the hostess asked you if you could sit there ? I said yes, we tried it but it didn’t work. She then said you have to move I’ll find you something inside, I guess it’s not what she said but how she said it. Our food took almost 2 hours and when it arrived, it was not to the standards I expect at Nona Blue for the price we paid. We had two servers Kayla and a young guy whose name I didn’t get, they were amazing and tried very hard to make my mom’s Mother’s Day better. The kitchen manager I guess came by and apologized for the food taking so long just a few minutes before it came out. Extremely disappointed with this restaurant.

    Took my Mom and some friends here for an early Mother’s Day celebration. We had a Great time, the service was great and the food was amazing. My personal favorites have to be the Lemon chicken and the Carrot cake. Even my friends that have never been before loved it. Every thing Ive tried here has been good so if you’re looking for a place this one is a good one. The prices can be high but you still get great food and decent portions.

    Always a good meal here, our go to place. Starting off with the best dirty martinis in Orlando. Shaken perfectly. French onion soup is a must along with the fresh veggie salsa. Good vibe!

    First time receiving horrible service with an attitude. I asked for ketchup for my hamburger. We flagged down someone and they brought it. When our waitress came she slammed it on the table. When she refilled the water she slammed those down as well. We met friends their and are so embarrassed. We had raved about how good Nona Blue is or should I say was?

    A neighborhood hot spot. Reservations are highly recommended. Very busy, but not over-crowded. Appetizers and meals were delicious. Noah was extremely attentive and professional. The Carrot Cake blew us away, it was delicious.
