Wonderful experience. Tried it for the first time and will definitely be back. Lauren was our server and she was excellent. My sister and I have food allergies and split everything. They split everything for us and went above and beyond to make sure our food was allergen free.

The fresh but comfy vibe of this place was enjoyable and the food was superb. Decent portions of everything. The appetizers and salads teal the show—so good! The only reason for a not perfect rating is because of our server. She was not attentive, did not listen when we asked for things, and didn’t really seem to care. The restaurant was mostly empty while we were dining, so her poor service was not due to work overload. I would eat here every week if the other staff is more competent.

Came for happy hour. Left unhappy. We arrived early and were sat promptly for our reservation and ordered our cocktails a minute later. Our server came back after some time and explained that the bar was slammed and they lost our ticket for our drinks. She asked us again what the drinks were and quickly ran off to get them. After about 15 minutes she came back to see if we wanted to get started with apps. We told her that we were ready to order everything including 2 more cocktails as we were still waiting on our first round. Round 1 of drinks came. Round 2 of drinks came 10 minutes later and then the food arrived all at once which is no problem. The bill came and only round 1 drinks were on happy hour. We told our server that it all should be on happy hour. This was my boiling point and asked for the manger. The manager came over and told us that the order was rung in at 5:43 and the cut off was 5:30. We told him that we have been sitting in your restaurant since 5:03 waiting to order. So regardless of the time when things were rung in, our server took our order twice for the first round of cocktails and never grabbed our order for anything else. 39 minutes to order an app and 2 entrees is ridiculous. We knew exactly what we wanted to try as we have been to your place 3 weeks in a row for your promotion. The manager said he would discount it this time and had a attitude about it so like it was doing us a favor. I have been working in restaurants for 18 years and completely understand stuff happens. I am a very patient when dining in other restaurants and I am more knowledgeable than most guests. I tend to keep quiet about issues cause no one likes complainers. We were patient waiting for drinks. Waiting to order. Waiting to order again. Hindsight was that we should of moved to the bar to get any type of service. Should of flagged down a manager, which I always hate. However, the way the manager reacted was not acceptable.

Really unbelievable…the AUGUST HAPPY HOUR PROMOTION at Nomads. Half-price on the entire menu including drinks. We were looking for the kicker, be it minimal area of restaurant required to sit at, reduced portions/ drink size, minimal staffing but, NO. Only limit was time… from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM.Food and drinks have always been good and were the same for promo. If eating early is not a bother and if you can get a reservation,certainly give it a try. DEAL OF THE YEAR and great food! We estimated our savings and tipped our very good server half. WIN/WIN.

Nomad has the BEST Happy Hour in Columbus! EVERYTHING is 1/2 off from 4:00-5:30. You can try so many new things at this price...even the drinks! Do yourself a favor and get to Nomad's Happy Hour before it is over for the summer! I have yet to find a dish I didn't love here!

Four meals, graded A (pork chop) and three C-. Nearby table of ladies drinking were extremely loud, making our conversation difficult. The manager should have said/done something but chose to sell them more wine and ignore our discomfort. This was my first visit and it will be my last. Very disappointing.

Food and drink quality is second to none anywhere in the city. When you include happy hour from 4 to 530 this summer being half off the entire menu including drinks, the value is absolutely through the roof. It really allows customers to try much more of the menu over multiple visits without breaking the bank.

The summer Happy Hour is a tremendously good deal. We enjoyed our food and drinks. Only complaint was that our waiter was so busy that I couldn’t get a refill on my water until asking twice, and even then it arrived just before we left.

Great food. It came out very quickly. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. She knew all details of the menu and daily special. It took her a while to come see us after our meal was done so we could get out to go box and bill but otherwise she was great. Nice modern ambiance although it was a little loud.
