We had a great evening at Nomad. The food, drinks and seervice were awesome. Feintely will be back.
The food was wonderful! Brussel sprouts were our favorite. I recommend this restaurant for dinner!
We went there on a Monday night and it was fantastic, from the appetizers to the lamb, steak, everyone had a different meal and raved about it. Even the vegetables soaked in red wine vinegar was a subtle but fantastic touch

Great food and drinks. Had a little mix up on who was our server, but that was fixed all was good.
We enjoyed great service during our dinner from the moment we walked in until we left. Nice, cozy ambiance. Our meals were well priced and brought out promptly. The salmon dish was good. Bacon brussels very tasty as was the puree. The salmon itself was drier and more well done than expected. My friend had the cod dish. She thought it was good, but could have used more seasoning to make it more flavorful. We'll be back to try other dishes.
Had dinner with a friend here the other night. Probably the best meal I've had in a while. The bartender recommended the Lomo Saltado and it was awesome. Good appetizer and desserts, as well friendly bar staff. Old Fashioned was excellent but was a pretty small drink for the cost. Ill definitely be back.

Our server Ryanne (not sure on spelling) was excellent. There were six of us and she was very attentive and has a great personality. Everything we ordered was great and prepared perfectly. We will definitely be back
Every time I come here my palette, mind, and soul are blown away. The staff are on point, and the chef nails it every time. Whomever creates this menu (I say creates because it changes a little with the seasons.) is quite possibly a genius. With all of the options in the area, this place reigns supreme! Please, don't take my word for it.

My husband and I have frequented The Nomad many times and have always enjoyed the food, the flavors, and the overall vibe. But this visit? It started on a completely different note—and not in a good way.
We arrived on time for our reservation, only to be met by a Asian hostess whose attitude immediately set the evening on a negative trajectory. There were at least five or six empty tables, including multiple booths. We simply asked to be seated at a booth. Instead of a reasonable explanation, we were told the booths were “reserved”—which made absolutely no sense, considering we also had a reservation and were already there waiting.
I noticed one booth in particular fully set for two guests—utensils, plates, everything. So I politely asked the hostess why that booth, clearly ready for two people, wasn’t available for us. She had no explanation other than, “I’ll have to ask my manager.”
But instead of actually speaking to a manager, she stood there tapping around on the iPad and then suddenly came back to say, “Okay, you can sit there.” No manager, no clarification, no accountability.
The whole exchange left me with more questions than answers—and none of them make The Nomad look good. It’s unfortunate, because it gives the impression that we were being denied seating for reasons that had nothing to do with reservations and everything to do with something else.
Needless to say, this really tarnished what should have been an enjoyable night out. We love the food, but after this experience, we’re genuinely reconsidering whether we’ll return.

Had a lovely server. The restaurant was very cold, recommend a sweater or ability to layer as I was unable to take off my jacket. Very cool food combinations, will definitely be returning to try other things!
Was a little nervous about the menu when I looked online but could not have been more pleased with the food and service.
We loved our first time eating at Nomad! The food was fantastic! I had the salmon with sweet potato purée & brussel sprouts, my husband had the cod (I think) over clam chowder & our son had the pork chop with pears over grits which was my favorite of the 3 meals. The service was wonderful & the staff was so friendly & kind. My only small issue is when we got the bill we didn't realize the lemonade our son ordered was $7. And the waitress asked if he wanted another one & we said yes not realizing there weren't free refills. It was not a great surprise at the end of an otherwise fantastic meal. It's on us for not realizing it before he ordered (he orders lemonade everywhere), & it may have said no refills on the menu- we just didn't see it. We will definitely go back but will know for next time.
I have eaten a new bed before and I had a good experience. First off I was with an elderly person, and they had no tables that she could get in and out easily. We asked to move and they moved us to yet another booth.  I'm doing keto so I ordered a cheeseburger medium well and it was well done with the bacon charred.  The other people in my party ordered salmon which they said was not done and then my friend had a salad that she did not care for.  ate out constantly and really do I have negative experiences so I was very surprised. I hope it was just an off night but I don't think I'll be back anytime soon not to mention. It's pretty expensive. I had one glass of wine and a hamburger with a small side salad and it was $48.
Nomad is wonderful - great service & atmosphere is cozy & food was delicious!!! Cocktail menu best in the city!! I would highly recommend Nomad!! My son is 15 & loved it also - we can't wait to go again!!
