This is our third time at Nylos and it is magical every time. The food is amazing, but the experience of three hours of enjoying the moment is even better.

I enjoyed my experience here the only reason for the missing stars was due to initial confusion that I noticed with the staff. Upon arrival our table wasn’t ready due to a party ahead of us no big deal, however when I ordered my food one of my entrees was not put in and was forgotten about. They fixed the issue quickly which I appreciated. Overall good experience.

Disappointed that our request through OpenTable to be seated in the section of our preferred server was not honored when there was plenty of space available. Restaurant's hosts need to be better trained to access patron records in their system. I've been a hotel guest for more than 50 years and have been patronizing this restaurant in particular more than a dozen times over the past eight years.

The food was excellent, but the serving was disappointing, as the table staff and their assistants just put the food on the table when they brought it to the table.
