NoMI

Except for the service, it was a good experience.

The view did not make up for the disconnected service, draft by the window (but the hostess did arrange for a great view) and noise level. We live in Chicago and frequent MANY fine restaurants. The food was excellent as we expected. The tables and overall appearance of the restaurant looks worn out. When I checked in the hostess made us wait holding our coats until she finished conversation with her co-worker. I had to ask if they were going to walk us back to the restaurant.

It was my daughter’s 19th birthday and was an incredibly mediocre experience all the way around.

Fabulous evening with a spectacular view! Great wine list to enjoy. The Sushi menu is fantastic.

We attended restaurant week and then for brunch - both times the food and service were exceptional.

The design, dinnerware, architecture, and art are also a plus. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Lartha is also a gem!

Birthday. Great overall and the staff were excellent and knowledgeable

Perfect evening excellent, food, ambiance and service

My waiter was one of the best experiences. His level of service was outstanding.

Birthday dinner

As visitors in town, We wanted a table at the Restaurant and got a confirmation from Open Table, however learnt last orders at the Restaurant were at 1.30 pm. Hence were disappointed in that we could not get the Restaurant experience. Sat in the cafe instead which we enjoyed nevertheless.

The table was open & ready for my arrival and I was promptly seated.

I decided to have one (1) drink before ordering and opted for a Tito’s Vodka over ice. I was expecting a nice glass and was very pleasantly surprised that the bartender provided me with a “REALLY GOOD POUR”! 😃

After taking the time to review the menu; without my waiter “Hovering Around” as some do in other restaurants to try to speed-up the ordering process; I opted to try the Grilled Spanish Octopus with a Multi-Grain coating. The coating was delicious and the octopus itself was slightly “Al Dente” but not to the point of feeling like one was chewing on an elastic band.

I opted for an assortment of two (2) maki sushi items from the menu - Spicy Tuna & their Shrimp. Eight (8) pieces of each maki selection was more than plentiful and they were excellent.

I also “Treated” myself to two (2) nice - individual pieces of their Otoro sashimi pieces as my waiter said it was outstanding; and it was!

My meal was wonderful.

My only “Complaint” was that as I was not able to finish all my sushi / sashimi, I asked for my remaining pieces to be boxed up. They were but when I opened the box afterwards, the remaining piece of Otoro sashimi was not in the box.

Rule to follow next time will be to check the contents before I leave.

Made for a disappointing end to a lovely meal!

we have been to Nomi many times , this time food was not good , they stoped making the Branzino we loved to have there , the waiter was not nice or helpful , and at the end we ordered a desert he sad it would take 30 min we said okay its fine , few min later came back with a small pastry instead and said I thought you may like this instead since the apple tart will take 30 min , we said we will wait again .
I took the lobster which was very rubbery and very small .

this was the worst experience at Nomi , it may take a very long time fr us to go back if at all

The menu was passé. Beef tenderloin was full of gristle served with burnside, creamed spinach and something that looked like tater tots. Salad overdressed and vinigery , sushi roll too dense with tempura fried yesterday. Just awful for the price. Used to be delicious. Would avoid.

Best sushi
Very good with accommodating food allergies

I continue to return to this restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner because they set the bar when it comes to consistency. Always a delicious meal, always attentive service, always an all around excellent job. Quite a number of their staff (reception desk, waitstaff) have been with the restaurant for years, and it is an added bonus to see familiar faces who are expert hospitality industry professionals.

Our water was outstanding. He went above what was needed.

Excellent food, impeccable service and fabulous views!

Everything was great, just a little cold by the windows

Simply excellent
Delicious food
Spectacular views

This is the second time I’ve been to this restaurant and I was excited to experience the food and atmosphere again. The Sushi is probably the best you’ll find in Chicago; truly phenomenal.

Here’s the issue we experienced. It was Valentine’s Day, and it wasn’t until we sat down that we learned we were limited to a pre fixed menu of 3 or 5 courses. They didn’t have their regular menu available, and you couldn’t order anything they were featuring a la cart style. That’s fine if they want to do something limited on Valentine’s Day, to keep things simplified for the kitchen (I’m sure). But, there was no mention of the limitation and it would have been really nice to order off their regular menu. Thankfully, the raw bar was available so we just stuck to that.
When we asked about ordering items a la cart, the manager came over and explained the deal for the night and that it was all explained on Opentable and their website, which it definitely was not. They also called me days ahead of time to confirm the reservation and did not mention it either.

While the raw bar is phenomenal and our server was awesome, I don’t think we’ll be heading back anytime soon. Pretty turned off by this experience.

We went for Valentine’s Day, and though we enjoyed everything, I wish it hadn’t been a pre-fix. It seemed over priced for the amount of food. The service, however, was excellent. And I was pleasantly surprised that there were some not super expensive wine options.

The open kitchen, attentive staff, and exceptional food were highlights of this meal. Eating at hotel restaurants are not usually our style and this experience may make us rethink that!

Great dining experience - awesome food, great service & wonderful views!

started with a table at the window overlooking Water Tower Park. Continued with having a very attentive Server -- Tom who was very helpful. Ultimately it is the food you come to a restaurant and the chef did NOT disappoint either of us.

Our party of six visited NoMi during Restaurant Week. Amazing innovative food selection, beautifully presented. Fabulous wine selection paired with dinner. Our server Mike went above and beyond to assure our dining experience was memorable. The entire staff at NoMi exceeded our expectations. Outstanding!!!

Fabulous! Food, Service, Ambiance :)

Will definitely return and recommend!

NoMi is a great place for lunch- you can carry on a conversation and enjoy excellent food. I was with 3 others for restaurant week, so someone enjoyed each of the 3 choices of starter and entrée. Everyone enjoyed their food, and want to return.

The atmosphere and ambiance at NoMI was exceptional! I was very impressed by the menu and the service. The restaurant week menu offered very tasty treats and delicious savory items. I am glad I went and would definitely come back.

Wonderful ambiance. Great location. Restaurant week menu was so so. Beef Sirloin was ok. I would go again for the fantastic view.

Everyone on the same table can only choose from the Restaurant Week menu or Regular menu, can’t be mixed. This is very inconvenient and embarrassing if you dinning with larger group.

Loved the restaurant. Wish they would have sat us in one of the may open tables in the center seating area rather than packing us in next to two other couples where we all sat squished. Food was delicious.

I love this place!!!

I was there with family (three generations): the atmosphere, service, food and drinks were outstanding! The sushi is phenomenal! Delicious craft cocktails as well...

The place was quite fancy and our waiter was quite cute ;) food and service are great. Nice ambiance.

Great value to visit during Chicago restaurant week.

Excellent restaurant week menu, with regular portions - not downsized. Outstanding service and a great value. - we'll be back soon.

Excellent food and service as always. I’m a frequent guest. Hostess was very pleasant on a chilly night. Happy Restaurant Week!

Great service made for an enjoyable evening in a blistering cold night outside. It was great to dine on a well curated restaurant week menu while over looking the historic water tower.

Had a great experiance. Waiter Tom O'Mally was excellent. He was very pleasant, happy, gave great suggestion on wine and dishes

Very friendly staffs. Delicious food.
