                          We went to Nue when it first opened a couple of years ago, and it was quiet and romantic, with great food, albeit expensive. When we returned for a birthday dinner, we were surprised to find that it was a loud, happening place, not at all romantic. However, the food was excellent (we had the whole fried fish and short-rib pappardelle entrees), as was the service. It is still somewhat expensive, but worth it.

                          Cocktails and service were excellent. Good was just okay and it’s expensive. Not worth the price. Would maybe return for a cocktail at the bar.

                          Amazing food and service. We ordered a bunch of items- every single thing was top notch. Rib eye, crispy fish, meat with papardelle, corn, seafood cha gio, and grilled octopus. While the menu doesn’t have any kids options, they prepared noodles and fried chicken for the kids. Kids also enjoyed all other food, especially the seafood cha gio. Deserts were also very good - we shared the pavlova and kids had dulce de leche ice cream.

                          Great Vietnamese fusion. We had the lunar new year set menu. Chili oil wontons, crispy pork belly, whole fried fish, and desserts were all great. Very loud dining room though.
