    Absolutely fantastic experience at Nue! The modern Vietnamese cuisine was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. Each dish was a work of art, and the presentation was stunning. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was chic and inviting. A must-visit for anyone looking to savor the best of Vietnamese cuisine with a contemporary twist!

    As it says in the name, this really is elegant cuisine. I'm a fan of Vietnamese food in general, but usually opt for the fast casual spots. The food and ambiance here hit. The pappardelle and risotto were delicious fusion dishes.

    We LOVE this addition to the neighborhood! It’s a beautiful spot with romantic decor, a chic vibe & wonderfully attentive service. The food was delicious! Our faves were: wontons, seafood cha gio, risotto (with scallops!) and pappardelle! We can’t wait to return with our boys to try the whole fish! Highly recommend!

    What a great experience! We went for my 60th birthday and my husband came reluctantly. He doesn’t usually like Vietnamese food because he doesn’t eat vegetables. He ate everything! Vegetables were easily served with enough separation. The food, the service, the care they took with us made for a truly memorable evening.

    We went for an impromptu brunch. The food and service were excellent. There wasn’t anything that didn’t satisfy us. We had three November birthdays in our party, we just expected one complimentary dessert to share, they brought out two. When we were done, the three birthday people were presented with a card and Nue branded chopsticks in a wooden case. Talk about presentation!!! We’re all still talking about the next time we should go to sample other dishes. Amazing!!!

    This was our first time at NUE. First, the front desk staff was extremely helpful in assisting me with paying for parking by phone. Thanks again, Ladies. Everything else was excellent. Our server was helpful, friendly and attentive. The food was excellent also. I didn't order one, but I really enjoyed seeing the strange and different cocktails being served there, one enveloped in a mist...

    Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I have had all year. It started with cocktails that looked and tasted amazing. Our favorite was the Almost Famous and Cloudy Dreams. For dinner, I immediately knew I was getting the Coconut Curry Risotto. I thought it was going to be a very Thai-inspired dish but to my surprise, I could clearly taste lemongrass and other reminiscently Vietnamese flavors. This restaurant's menu is deceiving. While you may think it's not so Viet-influenced, we were happily surprised and satisfied that we could clearly taste the Vietnamese flavors in each dish. Lastly, the dessert topped it all for me. We ordered the Tropical Che, a totally light, fruity, and tangy ending to an amazing meal. I highly recommend visiting NUE, especially for celebrations. NUE takes extra care to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, etc. in a way that made us feel very special.

    Six adults, 1 three year old & a 1 year old dined at Nue to celebrate a birthday. We shared grilled oysters, spring rolls, grilled octopus, curry risotto, the large flounder, braised ribs & rib eye steak . The food was excellent & beautifully presented. Most of us also had one of the very creative & tasty cocktails. We finished with the yucca cake & Ubi ice cream. The ambiance was attractive & conducive to an enjoyable dinner. This is an upscale take on Vietnamese cuisine (one of our party is Vietnamese), which is often found in much simpler & less expensive settings. I’d recommend Nue to anyone who would like an excellent fine dining experience.

    We were promptly greeted and welcomed in, but immediately sat in a waiting area. We did have a reservation, so not sure why we were held up. The appetizer, seafood cha gio, was phenomenal! It was a bit spicy, but had depth of flavor. The short rib pappardelle was delish! The coconut curry risotto with scallops was very good as well. They did an outstanding job recognizing my hubby’s birthday. The offered complimentary dessert, chopsticks in a wooden case, card, etc. They really went above and beyond and it was very much appreciated.

    Delicious, inventive and beautifully-presented food! The much-vaunted cocktails don’t appear to contain any alcohol, though. I’ll stick to wine the next time I go. We ordered three small plate choices for two of us and it was plenty.

    Very stylish. Well prepared food. Pricey. Limited but tasty menu. Tipping policy innovation is a bit of a gimmick to increase tips: 20% included service charge represented in print as in place of tipping -- but the receipt comes with a "Tip" line and we're told that the service charge is divided among all staff, but to leave anything dedicated to the server, we have to add an additional tip. I really do feel that there should be no service charge or other such restaurant gimmicks -- just voluntary tipping. I would call that the American custom. We don't like being guilted into leaving more than we would voluntarily. In this case, we would have been happy to leave 20% in total.

    Amazing restaurant! My group was celebrating a birthday and they treated us very well. Honestly have not been impressed with restaurants in a long time, but they blew me away with their modern Vietnamese dishes and stellar service (curry risotto was my fave but everyone had a different favorite!). I even got to speak with the owner and she told me the story behind the theme and name of “Nue” and she was very sweet.
