Nosh has 2 rooms, the main room and the back room. If you do not have reservations you will sit in the back room, it’s much quieter and better for talking but has an entirely different vibe and seems a bit sterile. The tuna nachos were very tasty, could have honestly been my dinner because it was so good. I got the ravioli but it was waaaaay too salty for me. The flavor was good, the pop of sweetness with the apple was a great addition, just too salty. Didn’t hit me until i ate 2 raviolis and had to down my drink. The steak was also waaaaay too chewy for me. Unsure if I got a fatty piece but for $65 I was expecting a bit more. Total price for dinner is a little too steep for what we got. Lily was our server and she was good.

First time dinning at Nosh- our server provided helpful recommendations and was very attentive- in spite of being busy. The food is quite good- honestly, the cioppino di mare (a seafood stew) and the belly ache alone are worth trying Nosh. The cioppino was presented with perfectly crisp, yet soft bread, extremely fresh perfectly prepared seafood- seriously, where do they get their shrimp? The broth- omg…. I just want a bowl of that! The skin on braised pork belly - the belly ache- good god- nice job! Beautifully prepared and excellent flavor! Personally, I wasn’t a huge fan of the Austin powers- the flavor is a bit redundant and it was just missing something. However, given the quality of the other dishes- perhaps this was just a personal preference. Regarding their featured cocktails- eh- lol Overall, I would rate Nosh, a 4.5- however, given our friendly server and prompt service- I’ll round up. Definitely will try Nosh again in the future.

We enjoyed a birthday dinner here for a family member. Our server was great. Everyone was pleased with their meals and drinks. The pollo loco was delicious. It was the perfect portion and very flavorful. The atmosphere is pleasant for couples or groups. We had our kids this time, but I would definitely return for a date night. It also stayed busy, but they seemed to keep things moving pretty well.

Service was subpar, this is a busy time of year and I am very patient but we had to ask for waters and I waited almost 15 minutes for a spoon for my ravioli, usually pasta is served with a spoon. I think we had a newer server as he didnt know what was going on. But the food made up for all of this- the food was outstanding. Drinks and the atmosphere were great.

My Girlfriend made reservations (they are needed) we were sat immediately. It is loud and very busy, I didn’t mind at all. Byshawn (I hope it’s spelled right) was our server, he was welcoming attentive and made suggestions. I hope he tried the smores pie. Drinks Smoke em if you got em- 4 little too tart for me but still good. Mother Mary-5 Apps Lobster Empanadas-5 Entrees Porkys Revenge -10 I hope they keep it on the menu Denver Steak and Potato- 4 The potato puree was a bit over worked but Steak was perfection. Dessert S’mores pie - Get it, taste like hot chocolate Cheesecake- it didn’t need the berry compote great on its own. Kept forgetting to take pictures before eating. If you like a busy atmosphere this is the place to be, we will be back.

Tonight my girlfriend and I went to Nosh for a date night! We've been wanting to go here for the longest time and we finally made it up there. And, boy oh boy are you all in for a fantastic treat!! We had ordered two items for their "Pickings" portion of the menu. This image attached is of the Korean Sit Down BBQ! The sheer amount of variety of meats, Rice, Vegetables, Steamed Buns, and Bibb Lettuce kept me going back for more. My girlfriend Caryn had the Belly Ache with was Pork Belly with an Apple Cider Borubon Glaze, Sweet Potato Puree, Apple, Pickled Blackberries, and Argula. That too, was phenomenal! The atmosphere of this establishment is stunning, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the service is top notch. We had multiple staff check in with us, asking how we were doing, if we needed anything additional, and Beeshaun our server was the man with the plan! And, had wonderful service with a smile! If you ever wanted to come to this restaurant in trying some phenomenal food all the while feeling at home, make the journey. We had a two hour round trip and it was well worth the drive!

While the service it excellent, ask for Beth or Jasmine, the food quality has gone significantly down hill the last 6 months. As they continue to modify the menu with new dishes every couple of months, with each iteration the selection and quality decline. Some of the best dishes that kept me coming back are no longer on the menu.

Make reservations so you don't wait. The food was great and the atmosphere was live. The waiter was attentive, and the food came out right away.
