Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. The menu wasn't overwhelming, so it was easy to order from. The quality of the food was absolutely fantastic. The Shrimp Aguachile was top notch, as was the Pork Shank Pibil. The tortillas were freshly hand made. Overall, great food. The restaurant should really be playing Latin music instead of whatever music they had on. It would be a nice touch to add to the authenticity. Highly recommend it here!

My experience at NoMi was exceptional! From the very pleasant hostess to my extremely kind and attentive waiter. The view is spectacular and my holiday meal was scrumptious! I dined alone and never felt hurried or rushed. I had the sea bass for my entree and it was delicious! My only suggestion would be considering a spirit free pairing. They offer a wine pairing to enhance your meal but as someone who does not drink alcohol, this is something I’d enjoy and appreciate.
