Our waitress was outstanding. Very helpful and attentive. As a chef myself, the only complaint that I have is the sweet corn risotto was under cooked. Very crunchy and I know it shouldn't be like that. I do wish that our courses were also spaced out a little bit and we had a refresh of plates on the table. I use to work as a sous chef in a fine dining restaurant and that is one they always did. Coursed out each entree and set each table with new plates and silverware. Overall, everything else was amazing.

First time here and really enjoyed it! Stand out dish was the Spaghettini...full of seafood and delicious lemon cream sauce. Also enjoyed the Bao Buns and Hamachi Crudo! Will be back... Servers very pleasant!

We had a table of seven. We sat outside, at sunset, under the umbrellas. It was a perfect evening. Our waiter was very attentive-excellent. We order many dishes from the menu and passed them to share. We ordered Steak and polenta, salmon and oranges, risotto, buratta and tomatoes, salmon pate, chicken leg lollipops. All delicious and shareable.

We enjoyed trying 3 different menu items-they were all delicious. We really liked the sauce with the sticky ribs. I enjoyed an after drink, You're turning Violet, Violet, before dinner and it was great. Our server, Alex, was exceptional. Very professional, great descriptions of the menu items, and perfect timing. It was the perfect evening to sit outside on the patio.

We ate outside, it was a very windy day (but sunny) on the lake, the servers did a great job keeping up with things like napkins and glasses blowing over. Our server Alex was beyond top notch! Food was stellar as it always is...., they tell you right from the get go, that food comes out when it's ready so if you order 3 or 4 things, what ever is ready first, is what comes out first and so on. Drinks are always great.

They had a DJ playing music that was fantastic. We were eating before going to see Mama Mia at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts. We ate mostly sushi and small plates and really enjoyed it!

Server was good, although it took 2 requests toget water refilled. Polenta fries were great. Sticky ribs, pork shank were excellent. Caesar salad was jusk O.K. Cocktails were very good. Overall a very good meal. Only complaint is the 3% surcharge for use of a credit card--this is B.S.!

Rudest waitress I have experienced in a long time. Food is brought out as it is ready. My wife was served her main course first and our daughter-in-law was served her course twenty minutes later when my wife was finished. I guess the kitchen doesn't know how to time preparation, as the restaurant was proud that everyone will receive their food as it is ready. Horrible list of stayers.

Will anything ever open at this spot and be able to remain in business for more than a few years? Well, not with the food this place is putting out. The chef is trying to be creative I guess, but what the kitchen is putting out just looks terrible. The Buratta and heirloom salad looked like it had already been eaten and thrown up on the plate. The charred Pole beans were warm, not charred at all, and really lacked flavor. The chicken skewer was kind of tasteless, and the sauce was not complimentary at all. The one shining item was the Sticky Ribs that tasted fantastic, and the presentation was nice as well, but again the sauce was thick/goopy, with a weird flavor, and added nothing to the ribs. They were best on their own. Needless to say, I will not be dining here again!

Delicious food, shared the best Heirloom Tomatoes with burrata, fried polenta, spaghetti, chicken, etc Perfectly served! Loved the wine list and specialty drinks. Had the BEST server Barbara!! I'd hire her...

We enjoyed both the service and the meal.  The menu encourages sharing as the small plates are delicious and the spaghetti entrée or featured item is a big hit. And the bar items are extensive and with good pours.

Wow! So incredible. I had high expectations for this place after reading all the reviews and I am so pleased to say they exceeded them. I think our faves were the pea hummus and the sticky ribs! Would definitely go back. Their outdoor patio is incredible. Highly recommend if you are looking for good food in this area I think this is by far the best we've had!

The food, once again, was scrumptious & beautifully presented. Being that I live to cook and taking inflation in to consideration I am very picky and loyal when I find a place that checks off all the boxes. Stay for the dessert as well❣️

This was a first visit to Nomad. The view to the marina made for excellent atmosphere. My starter of the snap peas and kmichi was a surprisingly pleasant and delicious small plate.

We selected the tasting menu and were blown by how good it was. Every dish served was delicious with great presentation. Antipasto Salad, Scallops, Beef Bao, Pineapple Sorbet (to cleanse the pallet), Filet, and Belgian Chocolate Mouse Cake. Service was impeccable and our Martinis were served just as requested, up with olives and ice on the side. This was not a meal it was an epicurean delight.
