                                                Loved our dinner at Nomad. Tried two dishes new to us: English pea hummus and ramen noodles with pork belly, bok choy and mushrooms, NUMMY! Plus enjoyed a couple favorites, Cesar salad and flank steak with grits. There’s a reason they are favs. Thanks for the wonderful meal on quiet, rainy October Wednesday. We will be back 😊

                                                The food and service never disappoints! We go here once a week and bring friends when they are in town. In the winter, we often come for the happy hour specials. Bring back the duck fat fries, we miss them:)

                                                The food was exceptional as was the service. We loved the specialty drinks. I was there in late September and had an outstanding dining experience then too, the chef had different choices on the menu tonight, and once again all delicious. I highly recommend.
