The hostess greeted us with genuine hospitality, making us feel immediately welcome and at ease.\n\nOur server was equally impressive—gracious, knowledgeable, and intuitively attentive without being intrusive. The meal began with broiled oysters, a beautifully balanced appetizer that combined briny depth with rich, satisfying texture. It was the perfect prelude to what followed.\n\nThe black cod entrée was nothing short of spectacular. Expertly seasoned and seared to perfection, the fish boasted a crisp, golden crust that gave way to tender, buttery flesh. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and attention to detail.\n\nWe ended the meal on a high note with the sticky toffee pudding—warm, indulgent, and flawlessly executed. It struck the ideal balance of sweetness and richness without ever becoming cloying.\n\nNouveau Monde continues to impress on every level, delivering refined cuisine, impeccable service, and a truly welcoming atmosphere.

I was asked if they could take my drink away, which I wanted to finish, while there was another sip left. My partners plate was taken away as I was still eating. I understand turning the table over but this was happening after we were there for an hour and continued all the way until we left.

The food was incredible. I’m vegan, so there is always one vegan entree on menu and it’s always delicious. Our server, Ashley, was great, very attentive but not obtrusive at all. My husband enjoyed his food as well. I have never dined upstairs, and I never will again. It’s a lovely room but next to kitchen. We were by ourselves for most of meal, then a party of eight was seated. It was nice to have company. We will go back again and again, but make sure we get table on main floor or at the bar. Thank you!

We enjoyed yet another exceptional dining experience at Nouveau Monde last night. From the moment we arrived, the evening was marked by warmth and attentiveness. The hostess greeted us with genuine hospitality, making us feel immediately welcome and at ease.
Our server was equally impressive—gracious, knowledgeable, and intuitively attentive without being intrusive. The meal began with broiled oysters, a beautifully balanced appetizer that combined briny depth with rich, satisfying texture. It was the perfect prelude to what followed.
The black cod entrée was nothing short of spectacular. Expertly seasoned and seared to perfection, the fish boasted a crisp, golden crust that gave way to tender, buttery flesh. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and attention to detail.
We ended the meal on a high note with the sticky toffee pudding—warm, indulgent, and flawlessly executed. It struck the ideal balance of sweetness and richness without ever becoming cloying.
Nouveau Monde continues to impress on every level, delivering refined cuisine, impeccable service, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. It’s a gem we’re always thrilled to return to.

Love the ambience and we sat at a lovely table downstairs near a window. Food was yummy, drink was yummy and service was annoyingly quick. I felt like we were being watched and as soon as our fork went down, and our plate was close to empty, someone was there to whisk it away. I was asked if they could take my drink away, which I wanted to finish, while there was another sip left. My partners plate was taken away as I was still eating. I understand turning the table over but this was happening after we were there for an hour and continued all the way until we left. As soon as our butts came off our chairs our table was pounced upon and cleared before we exited the restaurant. I know you have a two hour limit for two guests, but I think that perhaps it’s beginning to overshadow the dining experience.

We ate outside on porch which was nice but we did have a bit of noise from the road and also Cover Two Bar customers revving motorcycles but it was not constant and did not spoil are experience. I would recommend this place for any celebrations or special occasions.
