    One of my favorite meals I've had! Everything was absolutely stellar. From the wine to the ceviche…read moreto the king oyster mushrooms to the fish! The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious. The sauce and the texture of the mushrooms were to die for. I've salivating thinking about them right now! The fish was also so amazing. The bottoms were so crispy, it was almost like it was a layer of potato chip! Really great texture, and the fish meat was cooked to perfection. Really sad that they're closing, but looking forward to whatever the chef/restaurant team does next!

    Our food experience at Nura was a bit of a mixed bag, but when I think about the total package with…read moreambiance, environment and service, I feel like it earns four stars. It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

    Sure it's a little pricey but the quality and service justify it!…read more We enjoyed our early dinner in December 2025 at the holiday pop up here. The drinks were creative and fantastic! Try at least two of them when you visit. The ambiance was also on point...not too over the top holiday cheer, but still a lot of interesting decor and details to look at. The server and hostess were top notch, helping explain their favorite items and what may fit our taste. Food: 4/5 Drinks: 5/5 Decor for holidays: 5/5 Service 5/5 Value: 4/5

    Please visit in person. It's an entirely different experience. I wanted a fancy brunch for myself…read more So I ordered the French toast bites (incredible), scrambled eggs (good!), and cold brew with oat milk and brown sugar. Not all restaurants should deliver. And sadly, this is one. Sustainable packaging is great until it's not. Sub the scrambled eggs were melting into the box when they arrived. And had they arrived a moment later, they would have seeped through the box. Fine. I'll just get them out of the box, onto a real play. Ha. They must have been added to the box while they were fresh off a hot pan. A good amount was welded to the box. Annoying, but fine. And then the brew arrived without sugar or (paid for) oat milk. They hate me. It's ok, I'll just drink it black. And that's where 2 stars get knocked off. Worst tasting coffee ever. Cold brew is supposed to be smooth, with very little acid. This was extremely sour! As if it was made previously and had been sitting around for a couple of days. It took me a minute to realize how bad it was. And suffering as a result. Intense stomach pains and tummy issues. From coffee. Smh. I will probably eat there, in person. But I will never trust their cold brew again. Or delivery.

Without us asking, he brought over extra bread to accompany our lamb tartare. He also gave us complimentary espresso martini shots when we were too full for dessert. We ordered the lamb tartare, French Onion soup, and burger. The lamb tartare was great (especially combined with the salt flakes and sauce, which brought out the lamb flavor in a light way). The French Onion soup was flavorful but light, and the burger (European style) and fries were delicious. The cocktails were interesting. We'd love to come back and try the mussels and creme brulee!

You're transported to a garden like environment. The staff seemed welcoming as we decided on whether we wanted to sit indoors or out. We shared a cocktail, two HH dishes, an appetizer, and a dessert. Cocktail- Oui, Madamemoiselle is dangerously delicious. It's so palatable and berry tasty. HH dishes - escargot and the steak tartare. Buttery snails is my jam, and steak tartare was deliciously smooth and great with toast. Appetizer - mussels were good and cooked in a white wine sauce. Delicious to sip or eat with baguette. Dessert - we ended the HH time with a cardamom Panna Cotta. The flavors tasted light, felt like it could use a punch or two.

    We just went here for our anniversary, and it was absolutely lovely. We got:…read more- raw oysters (creamy and buttery, and the nuoc chan mignonette is addictive) - cast-iron shrimp (delicious and garlicky) - the pierogies (great, more subtle and surprisingly light) - the bone marrow (great if a little overwhelmingly fatty) - the ribeye special for two (unbelievably good) Excellent cocktails too. Would eat a mountain of those oysters if given an opportunity. Staff are lovely, the space is pretty tight but very well-arranged so it doesn't feel crowded. Will absolutely be going back.

    I'm a bit delayed in writing this, I came here for dinner with a friend, before attending a Jill…read moreScott concert at the King Theater. We made a reservation, and were sat promptly, then given menus. The environment is very cute for sure, but I can't say the same for the service. The best way to describe our server was cold and distant. She seemed completely disinterested in serving our table. What stood out most was the noticeable difference in how she interacted with another table of white women who were seated next to us. They were greeted with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm... something both my friend and I noticed repeatedly throughout our meal. In contrast, our interactions felt rushed, impersonal, and distant. It was not terribly busy either, so I can't excuse it. At this price point, I expect every guest to receive the same level of hospitality and care. Instead, we were left feeling overlooked and unwelcome, which put a real damper on what was otherwise a lovely meal. The drinks were... ok. There was nothing that stood out per se, and I LOVE a dinner cocktail. The Painkiller for $15, did not.. in fact, kill my pain, and maybe I should've ordered something else. Who knows! It would've been lovely to receive the happy hour menu before we ordered drinks and apps. But I digress... To speak of the food, we ordered the Ricotta & Potato Pierogis and the Miso Glazed Eggplant for apps, and two Arden Burgers for mains. I'm going to say that the flavor of everything was very good, however, the pricing was varied and didn't make much sense. The pierogi dish we ordered was an appetizer at $22. It came with two pieces. The dish was creamy, with small pieces of Chantelle's and asparagus - which bump up the price, and it was quite tasty. But for that price point I would've expected four pieces. Three at the minimum for the sake of presentation at least. It honestly looked depressing when it came to the table. However the taste was excellent. There was also a main course option of this for $38. Which I'm assuming that comes with four pieces? So $9.50 a dumpling? It's a little egregious... just a touch. The miso glazed eggplant (a side dish) was divine, it was a great portion for $11. The Ginger scallion sauce was just impeccable and it really saturated into the eggplant. The jalapeños really took it up a notch. Salty, spicy, and herbaceous. I actually think this price could be bumped up by two-three dollars for the size of the side dish that was received. I would order this again even for even more money. The Arden Burgers were just ok. At $26 each, as we both got bacon, however it was beyond crispy (some people love this), it was dead. It felt like falling apart sheet rock in a home demolition. The burger meat was prepared well and the onions were slowly caramelized to perfection. The fries were the star of the dish. The malt vinegar on them was so delicious, and for the price point, it was equitable for what was received. Honestly, the food is the only reason I'm giving this restaurant three stars. If I were rating the experience based on service alone, it would be one. Your staff could benefit from training on treating every guest with the same level of hospitality, regardless of whether they fit the image of the clientele you seem to prefer. The difference in service was extremely noticeable and deeply disappointing and this is something that deserves serious attention. I don't know if I'll be back, and I don't know if I'd recommend this. Which is sad, because when booking, I was so very excited to dine in here, and treat my friend out to a lovely experience before our show.
