It was louder than i remembered it being. I could hardly carry on a conversation. The service was great though; no complaints there. The food was also well presented and tasty. Im a little conflicted mostly because its not a cheap place to eat and the menu is limited but you know that going in. The noise would likely stop me returning for anything beyond drinks,.unfortunately.

We had the Nomad burger which wasn’t fresh…disappointed in the quality.

Hi Jen. We deeply apologize for your less than 5 star burgers last night. I can assure you we use local Ohio fresh CAB beef and we never freeze it. We are working with the chefs and suppliers to figure out where we went wrong with your visit. We use that burger blend in both of our restaurants usually to rave reviews. Thanks for being a longtime guest and I hope we can have you in again.

We have been eating here since they opened in Columbus. Haven't had a bad meal or experience yet. Their chef is worth every penny they pay him. He combines ingredients one doesn't find elsewhere. The flavors of the food are beyond description. Our only complaint was the music was way too loud. There were three of us and it was hard to carry on a conversation or hear the server. We definitely recommend Nomad if you want different and really good food.

We were so impressed not just with the simplicity of the ingredients but the creativity & flavor profiles that complemented. Pretty expensive, especially drinks these days but the cocktails were SUPERB that I did indeed get a 2nd! Highly recommended! Great bar service, very attentive.

Every element of our food was made to compliment each other. Appetizer fries are Huge and yum yum sauce is outstanding. 4 of us and we meet once a month. This was one of our very best meals in 20 years of dining out! Bison Burger, Cuban Redfish, Pork Chop. Drinks made truly fresh, Mule and Jalapeno Margarita. Pistachio Cake was different and delicious. This crew moved like a well oiled machine. Everyone looked after us. Sarah B great, attentive and knowledgeable server. Chef super talented. This will not be our last visit

Service was fairly mid. The server never marked the table (brought clean silverware when she took the dirty ones away) I had to use my partner's knife and ended up eating my entree with a salad fork. My cocktail was empty for a while before she offered a new one. My table also was never manicured (spilled food remained on the table the duration of the service) She was friendly and nice, thought. The restaurant itself was bright, inviting and the patio was cute! I enjoyed the planters with all the flowers and plants! The lights outside were nice as well! Food was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the Bison Burger and their Queso!

I must say that the food we ordered was excellent. The Bison burger had complex flavors and was the best burger I have had in years. Even the fries were done to perfection. My wife's Ceasar salad was done to perfection as well, which incorporated anchovies. I had only one complaint. The seating was a bit uncomfortable, and our table was unstable. This place is definitely worth visiting.
