    Our new favorite restaurant ⭐️ The bar is pretty low in these parts, and Nomad gives us hope. Impeccable service, beautiful decor, great background music, the view is epic and the food was delicious. I give Nomad a 10 out of 10.

    Who gets excited about a bread plate? We do now after our first experience at Nomad. The whole dinner experience was fantastic. The Beat salad was also amazing. Hands down the best Brussel Sprouts in P Town! We will definitely be back and known as the regulars before long.

    The setting is beautiful and we were there during the off season in mid-March. The service was excellent and the food was good overall. The small plates were too much food in my opinion and the plates came out too quickly, which may have been because there were so few people in the restaurant. The wine list is very nice. I’m sure it is incredibly popular in the peak season and the setting alone makes it worth it.

    Food was amazing as well as the service. One of our entrees got delayed quite a bit and wasn’t brought out for another 20 minutes after the rest of the food was brought. The manager came by to apologize and brought us the most delicious dessert! Can’t wait to come back next time i’m in town!

    We had a wonderful experience at Nomad for dinner. We ordered two of the calamari which were incredible, although the sauce is a little on the spicy side if that’s something you’re sensitive to! Additionally, we got an order of the chicken parm bao buns which I was very impressed with and would absolutely recommend. Both of these small plates came out to our table in a timely manner. I ordered the filet as an entree and again was very impressed — it was cooked perfectly and while I’m usually picky about the sauce it compliments the filet perfectly. Finally for dessert, I got the Kentucky butter cake which comes warmed and was delicious! I also tried the peppermint homemade gelato which very good. Would definitely recommend to anyone for not only everyday dining, but even for a special occasion :)

    What a wonderful surprise to have such tasty and beautifully presented dishes this evening! The menu descriptions did not entice me, but my friends and I found the plates we ordered to be excellent! The beet salad was very good as was the tomato soup. We also enjoyed the truffle fries, the kale Caesar salad, smashed sweet potatoes, and fried chicken. We will definitely return and recommend Nomad to our friends.

    The food was good but our server was young and inexperienced with drinks. The bartenders were also not very good and argued about what was in a dirty martini. Coming from a bartender with over 20 years experience, they were not correct but insisted they were. That whole experience made the overall experience not very good.

    We had a wonderful evening. Sharing the small plates was a hit with my group of 5 friends. I would have given 5 stars but we were cold and had to keep our coats on even with sweaters underneath. Management was unable to move us to another table away from the windows. They closed the shades which helped and we took off our coats half way through the meal. Overall great food and waitress was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and made good suggestions.

    The food came in large portions but there was too much sauce on many of the dishes. The cocktails were excellent though! The MSU game was on so it was rather loud - the restaurant doesn't have great acoustics because of the cement everywhere. There was a rather loud group watching the game, which we didn't mind but it was hard to hear your own conversation with the noise. We'll probably be back but would maybe stick to drinks.
