   Simply the best dining experience we’ve had in a while. Definitely in Cincinnati. Great food, great service. I came away satisfied and happy to have spent my money, something that is a rarity in these days.

   I chose Nolia for my husband’s 35th after he constantly talked about wanting to go for months. Well, they didn’t disappoint at all especially our server Cole who was oozing with passion about the dishes and we could tell right away he was just as much as a foodie as we are. It was a nice surprise seeing a dish that reminded me of back home in the Caribbean too. Nolia is doing it right and we can’t wait to visit again.

   Outstanding! Unique, creative dishes with interesting ingredients and all expertly prepared in the open kitchen. It's not often I get to try new foods, but I'm happily able to explore something new every time at Nolia! Our meal was so good that I wanted to come back the very next night! What a gem for our city!!! This rivals some of the cool restaurants in more metropolitan cities with their more progressive food scenes - and we get it right here in Cincinnati!!!

   First time visiting the restaurant. We were very excited as there have been so many good reviews and press about this place. We had a reservation for 6pm on a Friday for my wife and I to celebrate her birthday. Upon entering the restaurant you notice that the place is pretty small - but that was fine as there was only one other table occupied. We were sat at a two top against the far wall - which was great. About 5 minutes later, another couple came in for a 6pm seating, and they sat them right next to us. And the tables are close. It would be one thing if the restaurant was full - which I would understand, but no one else came in until just before we were about to leave. It was just awkward, and detracted from the experience. Aside from that, the food was decent - but far from my best meal. Oysters were very small and average, and the rabbit was dry. Given the price point, did not think the meal was worth it. Would take a lot to convince me to come back.

   Excellent as always. The chef and all the staff made my daughter feel so special on her 15th birthday. Love this gem!

   Fantastic experience - we have been in for more menu rotations since opening but the chefs counter was a whole different experience - highly recommend the wine recommendations
