    food is not that good - we heard the chief was working at some Michelin restaurants but def not worth the price. We’ve tried a lot of food and none of them are above average (compared to other restaurants in LES)

    We loved our visit to Nudibranch. The food was exceptional, with the noodles and caulilini as particular standouts. The drinks were also great - I had the "nudi and notorious" and loved it. We couldn't believe what good value the whole package was - highly recommend to anyone.

    I celebrated my birthday here with a group of six girlfriends and we had such an amazing experience! The space is small and intimate, but thoughtfully laid out — there’s enough room between tables to hold a conversation comfortably. For food we opted for the prix fixe menu and everything was delicious: well-portioned, great combination of flavors, and satisfying without feeling heavy. The wine pairing was a pleasant surprise too — great selections that truly complemented the food. Our server (I wish I remembered their name!) was incredibly kind and attentive from start to finish. Thank you Nudibranch for a really special night!

    Wow!! This restaurant surpassed all our expectations. I dined here on a Friday night with 3 friends and the place was buzzing. The waitstaff were friendly and very knowledgeable and were helpful in navigating the menu. Drinks / cocktails were such a treat and beautifully presented. Food was delectable. Very haute cuisine without any pretensions. The food spoke for itself. There was not one dish we did not devour. The cod and gnocchi were our favorites. The Basque cheesecake should not be missed. Would dine here again for sure.

    Some very tasty innovative cuisine in a pretty setting with excellent service. Dry aged duck was out of this world. Basque cheese cake one of the best i’ve ever had. We’ll definitely go back!

    Always a great time at Nudibranch. Great neighborhood spot where regulars are easily recognized, and the hospitality feels effortless. Top that with a well executed food and beverage program, and there's a lot to like and want to return for here.
