Maddie and Gabbie the hostess were very pleasant nd welcoming . It was our first time for our anniversary and the weather as not really helping , it was damp and rainy but nevertheless we made the most of it. Our servers Kirsten and Pavel were over the top! Food was delicious. I had the kale Cesar salad with grilled chicken and hubby had the TPC burger which was loaded … it had eggs and bacon! The bread pudding was to die for . It had ice cream on top and perfect enough to make me smile inspite of the weather. We had pictures taken after our meal as we walked around the building and saw lots of history . Will be back !

About the restaurant

“This is food the way we like to eat,” says Joe Davi, Founding Partner at Nona Blue.Davi and Bill Bona, also Founding Partner at Nona Blue, saw American dining trending toward smaller portions with different tastes; sharing at tables had always been an option, now it was being encouraged. As the vision for Nona Blue began to come into focus, Bona and Davi began crafting their “Shareables” menu, featuring items that can be passed among an entire table or serve as a meal for a single guest.
