    Very nice! Service was great. More people are finding out about this "hole-in-the-wall", so I would suggest making reservations. Food is very healthy, tasty, and not overpriced.

    Service was polite and prompt. Kitchen was slow but the blueberry scones and Godfather Benedict were worth waiting for! Would have rated the overall experience a 5 star but it was noisy and make conversation a bit difficult most of the time.

    I rarely get downtown, but met some friends for brunch at Nook. I had never been here shockingly! It felt very popular on arrival with a wait, but I had made a reservation... score extra for permitting reservations. The hostess at the front seemed a smidge cranky when we arrived as when I checked in and said we had an 11A rez, she barked 'is your whole party here, because we don't seat unless everyone is here'. It was the way she said it and the audacity of me checking in prior to everyone's arrival. Not generally an overly sensitive person - and initial greeting is key Miss Hostess. Nonetheless we were seated and had a truly wonderful brunch. Loved the menu items, they felt super unique and different or at minimum a different spin on a traditional brunch/breakfast item. We started with some Latte's and I will tell you to hard pass on dropping money there. The milk was barely warm and they just didn't taste that great. We also got the protein carrot bread to share and it was REALLY delicious. Made up for the espresso drinks and cranky hostess. We waited nearly 45 minutes to get our breakfast which seemed kinda long so thank goodness for the carrot bread. My husband got the steak/eggs and loved it; friends got benedicts and omelet's and love their dishes. I had the Tamale Pie and it was absolutely flavorful and delicious. Our server was wonderful, kept our water carafe full and checked on us just enough.

    This was my first time to Nook. The atmosphere was very relaxing for Brunch on a Sunday. Even though it was busy, it wasn't noisy, and it was easy to have a conversation with my friend who was with me. The service was great, the drinks were refreshing, and the food amazing. It's a creative and flavorful menu. I will definitely be coming back!

    Probably the best Griddlecakes in town! They are so light and fluffy with many flavor options. Today I tried the Blueberry Scones with warm strawberry jam- heavenly. We will definitely go back. BTW, I STRONGLY suggest making reservations, especially for Sunday Brunch.
