The most unique and best menu in Cincinnati. I trust the wait staff and/or chef, order what they tell me and have yet to be disappointed. The best meal in Cincinnati.

We had bar seating and it was an amazing evening. We enjoyed the tuna special and the crab claws as starters, followed by the scallops and the iberico as main courses. Some great drinks and a nice bottle of red (Chaos Theory) rounded out the night. Madeline and her colleague were wonderful. The only possible improvement would be to start serving espresso after dinner. We will be back soon.

The service was wonderful. The chef came to check in with everyone and the server was very attentive. I am a very picky eater, and I enjoyed trying new foods. Great flavors!! I can't wait to return and try the spring menu. It is such a gem here in Cincinnati. Love the change of pace. My only issue was the challenge with parking, but that is part of the downtown Cincinnati experience., just pack your patience. However it was well worth it!

1405 experience was amazing. Chef Jeff delivered as he always does. The staff was excellent and super attentive. Worth every penny!

Consistently the best executed menu in the city. New proteins, new flavors, yet familiar presentations. You will leave feeling like you got your money's worth and really experienced a meal.

Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. High note was the butterbean and leek soup. I wish they sold it in bulk! It was so delicate while also being very comforting. The layers of flavor in everything were sublime. I also really appreciated having many vegetarian/vegan/gluten free options. Our service was a little shaky to start but the rest of meal was well paced and friendly. It felt like a longtime, cozy neighborhood spot serving approachable yet expertly elevated dishes. Can't wait to come back!

Nolia is superb cuisine. Chef Jeffrey Harris and front of the house manager, Kristin Krause, are so welcoming and caring. The whole team creates a beautiful environment for a memorable experience. The short rib skewers were amazing. The crab claw lollipops in a cold broth that is a melange of beautiful flavors - wow. Go as early in the evening as possible ...
Ginger
Absolutely phenomenal - food, service, experience. This is a don't miss spot for anyone! Bonus for those of us who have Gluten sensitivities or Celiac - they are 100% gluten free but even the biggest lovers of gluten would never miss it in this menu. Go visit, you will not regret it!

Phenominal experience and service provided to us on a chilly Thursday evening! So accommodating and great recommendations from the staff!! Loved having Chef Jeffery stop by after each dish to check on how we were enjoying. Can not wait to recommend this restaurant to everyone I've ever met!

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BLOWN AWAY. Every dish we had was incredible. Like...fresh and fine ingredients. Inspired and interesting dishes. Beautiful presentation. The personable and present chef and staff were full of energy, obviously genuine devotion and passion for their work, and worked together as a seamless team. The place itself glowed with joy and good vibes. It was perfection. We tried the skillet cornbread, which was... I mean, the butter is as much a star as the bread itself, and I'm pretty sure I've never had any cornbread better. The beef skewers with that PERI PERI SAUCE were flawless. The red leaf seasonal vegetable side we had was so unique and beautiful. We split the goat gnocchi, which was like an elevated version of a roast, and had gnocchi that felt like the luxury pillow version of gnocchi in your mouth, as well as the pork entree with lentils and...I literally caught myself “mmm” after every bite. The depth, texture, and finish of these entrees were flawless. And we closed out with one of the most unique looking crème brûlées I've ever seen, but with a flavor that certainly cemented this as one of the best meals I've ever eaten. And if that wasn't enough... it Didn't hurt that one of the culinary artists, the one who personally makes the ice cream, offered to let us sample his coconut flavor with white chocolate for the night too and it's like they just couldn't help but continue to share mind blowing flavor bombs. Shout out to fabulously kind host, attentive and detailed server, and overall just fabulous staff. We loved every minute of our time at Nolia.
Had an incredible time at Noila as always. The tasting menu was the best one yet! Everything was prepared excellently and had an amazing presentation and flavor. Everyone at the restaurant were awesome as always.

Best restaurant in Cincinnati. Chef Harris engages with everyone who enters the restaurant and makes it an experience
Carol
Everything was perfect! Presentation, ambience, fun.. all beyond. Jeffery Harris and company have a winner here, for sure! a not to be missed restaurant in Cincinnati downtown. Only drawback is finding parking, but we got a spot on Main St. and walked to the restaurant.
Stephen
I had an outstanding dining experience. The food was great and the atmosphere was fantastic.
Sarah
Incredible place, we'll definitely be back. The staff is attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and all of our food was great. The scallops and spiced rum cake, in particular, were excellent. I had the cold brew cocktail and it was sweet & balanced. Also, obviously, the skillet cornbread is so comforting and perfect. Nolia is a splurge but absolutely worth it.
