    Still one of our favorite places. The food and the service are always great. It’s pretty busy depending on what time you go and so at those times it can be pretty noisy but even when it’s really busy they are always well staffed and handle it well. It’s certainly one of the best run restaurants around.

    10/10 experience at Nolo's! I have been here several times and this was one of the best times. I went with a group of girlfriends and from the first moment of meeting our server, we knew it was going to be a great experience. Our waitress was so bubbly, friendly and talkative, making us feel comfortable and answering all of our questions. I have severe allergies and the staff paid careful attention to accommodate me without issues. The manager even came to our table to check in on my food allergies which brought a great piece of mind. The manager was very friendly and helpful, and made sure we were having a great experience. And the food! So good that there was little conversation at the table while we enjoyed our meals. The menu changes quite often so I know there are always new dishes to try every time I plan a meal at Nolo's. Could not recommend this restaurant enough!
