    This was the 2nd time I’ve been to nomad. I looked forward to coming here again ever since the 1st time I visited. The hype I created in my head leading up to going the 2nd time was beyond met. They have exceeded my expectations. I love how personable the staff is and how caring the manager and owner are. Truly a top notch place.

    Very pleasant experience, waitress was very prompt, service was good. Food was very good. We had the Sunday Supper and salmon. Both were very good. Our reservation was at 6:30 and we were seated 20minutes early. We dined on the Tuesday of Valentines week, and the dining room was full. The dining room itself was small, and rather noisy for an intimate restaurant. The only thing that was disappointing was there was no bread on the table . Considering the entrees we had did not have a bun I would have thought something would have been brought out by the waitress. The ravioli dish I would have expected some type of bread or rolls. It still was a pleasant dinner.
