    Tuscan Walleye
    Brad O.

    I ordered the Tuscan Walleye for dinner and the flavor was great! The price and quality of food is great in a town the size of Mankato. I would like to try more of the menu! My only nitpick with the dish is that the carrot puree seemed too oily but otherwise great! The drink menu is extensive and you can easily find something to enjoy and a reasonable price. Service was fast and friendly. You can make it in and out in under an hour if you prefer. Ambiance is ok. It is too bright and sterile to match the "main" dinner menu. Maybe they could turn the lights down a bit in the evenings, especially with all the Christmas lights in the windows.

    Outside seating with a delicious glass of "SAV"

    First- greeted by the hostess " very sweet and "welcoming " " Anika" super attentive, made sure we were shaded properly ..., attentive, great service , knowledgeable all around. She made our visit! Ambiance, inside looked crisp and clean- like Scandinavian clean, (?) not busy with "stuff". Ya know ? We chose outside. No cars driving through with their petrol blowing in your face it really was enjoyable sitting outside. Gochujang Pork belly was like eating door stoppers ( i gotta be honest) except for two pieces - wouldn't recommend you getting that UNLESS your guaranteed tender belly fat. Crab cakes delicious- Sandwiches delicious very generous but hard to eat on such small plates! Its not pretty . All in all if service is GREAT -its the service experience that makes it a memorably good experience. Wishing all at Nolabelle a successful 2026

    Steak and fries - medium rare.

    This was genuinely one of the best meals i've ever had. We had the blackened salmon, hilltop cocktail, steak and fries, and butter cake. the hilltop cocktail was super good and got me a nice buzz! the steak and fries were yummy and cooked well! but the salmon...oh that salmon. It's a perfectly cooked and seasoned salmon on a bed of perfectly cooked gnocchi and crisp flavorful asparagus on a bed of the greatest red sauce i've ever had. Garlicky! Tomatoey! Peppery! Perfection! I quite literally licked the plate clean. And the butter cake my goodness! It's sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Melt-in-your-mouth gooey goodness with a crispy crust with strawberry whipped cream and macerated strawberry slices. ADDICTIVE. I really could eat myself to death here. And the staff was so so nice!! The vibes were perfect. It just was all around a fantastic experience, and even though i live about 10 hours away, i am considering coming back out just for this place. i'm putting this meal up with my Gordon Ramsey meal i had in vegas. Seriously can't recommend enough.

    Chicken leg
    YiQing G.

    Lovely place in the old town of Mankato. Glad to make the reservation as it seems to be a busy night here. First time being here and this place feels very young and modern. We are visiting Mankato for the first time and chose this restaurant due to its menu. There is a nice selection of burgers, sandwiches, and main courses. We ordered several main dishes and they were all quite delish. Out of all we ordered, I personally rank the following #1 Chicken Leg - I like the spiciness in the sauce. Wish it was a bit more kick for me since I like spices. It also came with broccolini which is my fav. #2 Porkchop - I was surprised that it comes with rice. The pork chop came a little dry for me but I still like it overall. I wish there was more sauce so the rice could be more flavorful. #3 Walleye - this one was okay, I think the flavor is more plain. The charcuterie board is very yummy. All items on the dish are well balanced. The truffle chips are amazing. Sizable portion tho.

    Shishito peppers and carrots
    Elizabeth W.

    If you're looking for a slightly upscale restaurant in Mankato, it's an excellent choice. I've eaten both lunch and dinner here and the food was excellent as were the cocktails. I absolutely loved the shishito pepper appetizer. The buttered walleye was good, though almost too rich. My biggest disappointment was there are few vegetarian and at the time no vegan options for main course

    Mimosa Flight $16
    Chelsea R.

    Do we live in Mankato, no. But driving to brunch will always be a thing in this household. We drove out to Mankato to check out this brunch spot that has been getting rave reviews and I am so glad we stopped in. With an intimate setting with clean lines and an open kitchen plan, the food really just set the experience to a five out of five. I got their lemon, ricotta pancakes, and they were to die for. They were fluffy with a hint of acidity from the lemon and just melted in your mouth. Also got a side of their house sausage, which I totally recommend. You can definitely tell that they make those sausages to order. We also indulged in their mimosa flight, and it was really fun to try different combinations of the traditional mimosa in new and interesting ways.

    Pork belly burnt ends
    Tuyen P.

    Found this place on our way to Minneopa state park in Mankato. Located probably about 10 mins from the park. It's next to a few other restaurant and stores (downtown Mankato area). Street parking but there is plenty especially on a Saturday. They do have patio available but we opted for high top. Brussels sprouts- sauté with bacon and it was actually very tasty. One of the recommended high seller appetizers and it was great. Burnt pork tip- not a dish I was interested in. If you like pork belly this may be the dish for you... maybe We got sandwiches I think peach + bacon and the cubano. Decided to get the fries and salad upgrade. Fries was crispy and good. Salad was so good! Loved it. I wouldn't mind getting a full salad order next time and maybe add chicken. Service was great and good came out pretty fast. We came during off lunch hour so it wasn't busy.

    We love this place! Excellent ambiance in the downtown district. Great food options on the menu. The house-special Old Fashioned is a must-order. The best appetizer on the menu hands-down is the Burrata Caprese. The service is spot on and energetic. The ability to make reservations ahead of time allows for a spot guaranteed in a space that is sometimes hard to find a table on busy nights.

    We were in town for a sporting event and used Yelp to lead us to Nolabelle Kitchen + Bar. We were not disappointed! The hostess met us with a great attitude and promptly seated us in the very friendly welcoming restaurant. We ordered a few of their originals that night and raved about the gem we found. The next evening we returned and sat outside and enjoyed some of their sandwiches with the salad option. Would recommend over and over.

    Lasagna soup, dark lager, and the menu

    This is a great place to dine if you're in Mankato! Good food, good drinks, and great service! On top of that you'll also be supporting a woman owned business! Not only are you eating well but you're also doing good! We tried this while visiting our warehouse provider in Mankato and by happenstance my wife liked the name so we just went there. We were pleasantly surprised by a clean ambiance, good selection of tap beer, and a great lamb burger! We also tried the lasagna soup (yes, there is such a thing but it's not for the weight conscious) and the buffalo wings tacos, all of them tasted great! Seems you can't go wrong on your selections in this place. Definitely worth a try for you adventurous people out there and for me ... definitely coming back! Oh, did I mention their espresso is awesome! Good people and good food!

    Date night at Nolabelle Overall this was a fabulous evening out This was nolabelle's soft opening, so we did not expect perfection as this is their time to figure things out and get the kinks worked out. For an appetizer Michael had the pretzel covered goat cheese balls and I had the blueberry chicken tacos. These were both good. What would have made them amazing was a little more seasoning. lf salt and pepper would have been on the table both apps would have been dynamite, Next I had the arugula & apple salad and Michael had the tomato bisque with a grilled cheese dipper My salad was really good. Sadly the grilled cheese was cold, the cheese was no longer melty and the soup was luke warm. It tasted good but I am sure they would have been better if they had been warm. Lastly for an entree Michael had the shrimp and grits and i had the pork schnitzel. The shrimp and grits were seasoned to perfection! The grits were the best I have ever had. The salad and the fries with cheese sauce vith my entree we very good. Fries were crispy and the salad was bright and fresh. The pork cutlet was over cooked, so it was a little tough. Honestly, one of the best meals we have had in mankato and I hope this place makes it. The drinks were good and a decent price. The wait staff was very friendly and very apologetic for the slowness in the dining area.

The host originally seated us in a space that did not fit our party. Then he moved us to a center spot in a long, family-style table with people on either side of us. We had a five year old with us who was overly tired and very spunky and we had to try to keep her focused on us and not our neighboring patrons. Was really not the most appropriate seating for children but we didn't want to ask for yet another table. Soon after we sat down, we discovered that the parties on both sides of us were upset and looking for any employee so they could express their frustration. Seeing as we were all so close, we could hear them complain to others in their parties about the service. We learned shortly that we should have written up our losses early and moved on. We didn't. We ordered our beverages and immediately got water. The rest (2 soft drinks, an iced tea, and a milk) slowly trickled out one by one. The waiter apologized every single time he came to the table about how slow everything was from us being seated to getting our drinks to him coming to take our order. Once the food came out, he was apologizing again for how long that took. He wasn't wrong. As for the food, it was fine. Portions were average to smallish for the price. It wasn't as special as we had hoped it would be based on the descriptions. We each got something different and all said that we wouldn't order that item again. Not that it was bad. It just wasn't good. The best thing we had was the pretzel stick appetizer. That was pretty good but for the price, we wouldn't order it again. Nothing was super memorable except the decor which was super fun to look at. Oh and the very apologetic waiter. Our food came out hot. Turns out that was not true for the table to our left. The table to our right got the wrong food so half their group was done while the others were just starting. Apparently one of the cooks had called in. So, over all, I gave them an optimistic 3 stars. It was like a participation award with the assumption that if they were firing on all cylinders, it could have been much better. Personally, i wouldn't try them again but as the only Irish pub in the area, it could be a neat happy hour hang out. It just was not a family lunch spot.
