Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Nomad shines with "fantastic food" and "wonderful service," consistently impressing diners with creative dishes and "superb cocktails." The Josper oven adds unique flavors, making dishes like Lomo Saltado and Bison Burger standout. While the ambiance can be "a bit loud," the "3-course dinner for $45" offers great value.

    There were three of us, first time experiencing Nomads for all 3. The service was excellent, drink was excellent, and as far as the food, it was excellent as well. I went out of my comfort zone and tried something different, I got the Moroccan Causcous, loved it! Then we were lucky enough to try three different desserts, the flourless chocolate cake, Keylime Cheesecake, and the Tres Leches Strawberry Cake. All 3 were amazing, I’m a chocolate lover and I have to say I think the Strawberry was my favorite.

    Phenomenal time once again at the Nomad. I don’t think I have ever ate anything that wasn’t good here and I’ve been here probably 10x total. Try the wings for an app or the chicken sandwich for an entree, those are staples of that place. I had the chicken thighs and chimichurri potatoes and it was a 10/10. Desserts are well worth it at this spot as well.

    Nomad is one of my favorites; however, I was a bit disappointed by the credit card fees. Next time I go I’ll have to do the unfamiliar and bring cash!

    We appreciate that each time we visit there is never an issue of adjustments for our diet. Lomo is the best and only item I ever order. Service is always very good. We do like seeing managers participating with staff assisting in serving hot food hot!

    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.
    NomadResponded on June 6, 2025
    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.
