So cool to just walk around and check things out. Oh, by the way, the drinks are GREAT! We tried a couple varieties, with different liquors and all were good. We ended up buying a bottle of gin. It was mid-afternoon on a Monday so not crowded whatsoever so just got served right away. Bartenders were nice and gave nice recommendations based on what liquors we like.

They will play the entire record, which is awesome, but I think the difficulty is not knowing what vibe the patrons are feeling so the music can be hit or miss if you're not enjoying someone else's choice. I love the vibes and the cozy seating, it's perfect for a date night. The cocktails were good but definitely on the pricey side. I think it was $19 for mine and it was okay. Not worth that cost but I think they're paying more the ambiance than anything else. I'll definitely want to come back and chill but maybe consider a simple drink vs a signature cocktail. Everyone was super friendly and I really enjoyed my time!

Overall, this is a great place for a group, family, or dog lovers. All are welcome here, and all can have a great experience. You'll find plenty of picnic table seating, and a small fire pit area. There is also a semi-indoor setup with a full bar and plenty of seating. It's well designed to create a great food truck experience. Only suggestion is to install an integrated order system, where we could see every truck's menu and order online. Create a QR code system or something so we don't have to visit each truck to read their posted menu to decide what to try. Other than this minor inconvenience it's a great place to hang out!

To start, the atmosphere is beautiful, with the restaurant right on the harbor of Little Traverse Bay. The ambiance inside was welcoming, with the bar being connected to the outside seating. The service was also amazing, helping out with food and drink recs as well as constantly checking in. The food and drink were the stars of the show. We had the ahi tuna tacos, sticky ribs, crispy shrimp bao buns, and buffalo chicken lollipops. There were so many mouth-watering shareable options that we had to just get a bunch of those. Loved every bite! The drinks were also phenomenal. I tried the moon rabbit, which ended up being one of my favorite drinks I've ever had. Gin, ginger, lime, cucumber, and sesame oil - unbelievably refreshing combination, give it a try. Overall this place was phenomenal and it will now be a must have on future trips up north!

It sits right on the water, making it the perfect spot for a nice meal with a gorgeous view. I'll be honest--the food used to be pretty mediocre in my opinion, but I'm not sure what changed because they have seriously stepped up their game! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We had the shrimp bao buns, burrata, lobster pappardelle, and the flank steak with grits, and every single dish was a 10/10. The flavors are unique, interesting, and so well done. The portions are also surprisingly generous. It's definitely on the pricier side, but you're getting high-quality food AND a substantial amount of it, so it feels well worth it. The restaurant is beautiful and clean, and the service is always excellent. If you're in the Bay Harbor area, I'd definitely recommend giving Nomad a try--you won't be disappointed!

We ordered the Apple Carpaccio, very tasty, and the Chicken Cutlet, which is served topped with a Caesar Salad and croutons. The cutlet itself was slightly overcooked, but still good, and the dish was very good overall.
