Went for Mother's Day & it was a prix fix menu. - First had a sharing of homemade banana bread which was a great start. - For appetizers got clam chowder & scallops aguachile. The clam chowder was a stand out for my wife as she likes to try clam chowders. - For entrees first started off with the Filet Mignon Risotto, which was speculatar, with the steak being cooked perfectly & being a good portion. The risotto was not overly truffled, & the mushrooms were just right. 2nd entree was the Chimichurri Steak and Eggs, and again the steak was cooked perfectly! The chimichurri was delicious. - For drinks got the Sour Monkey Beer, which is probably one of the best beers out there. My wife got the Passion Fruit Spritz, but it was disappointing as it tasted more generic rather than like passion fruit. - Also got the Spaghetti bolognese off the kids plates, which was nicely simple & not over-salted. - Our server Alice was awesome & bubbly. The owner Scott also came up to me & you can tell his passion for the food. - Good options for eating for inside, outside with shade, & outside without shade. Also the shared space outside the restaurant is nice to hang out at, with a fountain. Free parking was easy. Planning to return to try more of the menu! read more

Just grabbed dinner here and honestly, the food was pretty great! you HAVE to get the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Seriously one of the best desserts I've had in forever. We sat on the enclosed patio which was nice and cozy, started with their hummus and fresh pita (can't go wrong there), then we went all out with lamb skewers, steak & fries, and grilled shrimp. Definitely want to give this place another shot because the food was legit, but hopefully on a quieter night becuase it was loud! Like can't hear each other or yourself think loud. I'm not gonna fault them for that cause can't help people but yeah, great overall! read more

Great service, delicious food & drinks, heated patio, and easy/free parking. Really 5/5 in every way. A nice place to have dinner out with friends/fam. Portions are decently large. Favorites: Chili Relleno - Crispy outside, gooey cheesy on the inside. Chimichurri Steak Frites - Tender steak (we got medium rare), really good fries! Grilled Salmon Esquites - Buttery salmon Ginger Plum Tea - Uses stevia, not too sweet, refreshing Chocolate Soufflé - Delicious rich chocolate, perfectly a bit crunchy on the edge and lava on the inside read more

Troy was AMAZING! Service with a smile and plenty of laughs. Troy never left us feeling neglected and on top of that he was our bartender as well so our drinks were strong and came to our table promptly. The food was delicious as well not to mention the ambiance. Sitting near the fire place was an absolute treat. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

Nomad Eatery - Save the bee as recommended by Troy! - Mediterranean Near Me - El Segundo, California

I've been here twice and both times had an incredible experience at Nomad. I recently came with a group of friends and everyone loved their meals. I split the branzino and chili relleno with a friend and both were so flavorful and delicious. Also the staff was warm and attentive and really made our whole evening stand out. The chef/owner is also extremely friendly and came out to talk with all the tables. He gave us the history of some of the dishes and made recommendations, and overall made our group feel very welcome. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more. I'll be back. read more

Sometimes it's easy to not make time for new spots when you get used to the familiar standbys, or if a destination has changed. In the case of Nomad Eatery, I was accustomed to dining here when it was under another name and, as such, mainly as an aside to when I went to the Arclight theaters (now, sadly, closed). The reimagining is quite tasty, though the space hasn't changed at all. Ambiance is still not my South Bay favorite. There are so many hard surfaces including flooring, that sound can be overwhelming in a full room. The worst is the grating loud dining chairs' feet that are like nails on a chalkboard times 10. We ordered, on the server's recommendation, the non-meat Nomad burger. It was served as-is, no sides. Good overall. Nothing special. The chile relleno was decadent and delicious. Pretty spicy sauce was in the presentation bowl, so unable to avoid if you don't love that. Am sure they could put on side if you asked as they were very nice about substituting out rice for me. Craft cocktail of a Manhattan was quite tasty and a typical portion. Adding call liquor tacked on another $2 for a total of $18 Server was fantastic. It was an early Sunday eve and pretty chill when we dined, so we had a table visit by Scott the owner and GM Elysia. If the movie theater were still open I would definitely come here, but, otherwise, it's not likely to stay top of mind for me unless I'm going to try their popular happy hour. Am reaching to give 4 stars when it was more a little over 3. There are many excellent restaurants in the area, so it may be hard for Nomad to stand out. TL/dr: Some good flavors and service, but there are many such in the area. read more

The menu and concept was a little all over the place for me. The food was mid at best. We tried the steak with chimichuri and ordered it medium but it came out mid rare. We only tried one piece of it and didn't ask for a box. If the service wasn't so slow and might have sent it back but at some point our time was worth more. The fries were amazing. The lamb skewers were just ok for me. Maybe they call it nomads because we could never find our server and new people kept coming for table touches and would forget our asks and orders. We had 4 different people come to the table. It was a little frustrating. Check your receipt as well. We were over changed an entire meal and had to let them know. read more

This was my second time at Nina's for lunch. First time was right after the pandemic. I was joined by 4 colleagues and this was during the dine LA week when they also have a special two course menu for $25 which is a great value. The restaurant was half full. I ordered the chopped salad that was full of chicken and salami and was well put together with a nice dressing. It was a solid 4.5 star. 3 of my colleagues really enjoyed their food. One unfortunately had some issues as her order was mixed up initially and her steak was over cooked. Nice ambiance and plenty of parking outside. The chef or the proprietor came by during our lunch to see if we had been there before and check on on how we liked the food. He said they are mostly known for their skewers. read more

Excellent food! Nomad is one of my favorite restaurants. Everything I have ordered is fantastic. My favorites are the Korean Fried Chicken sandwich, the very yummu hummus, Mary's Chicken skewers with baba ganoush, tabouli, tzatziki, grilled veggies and tahini, and the rice pudding is so different and delicious. read more

Delicious Chinese food. Nice flavors. Good service. Clean restaurant. We enjoyed the fried whole fish and spicy beef.

We've had the pleasure of dining at Nomad numerous times. We were never disappointed! The food & service is always exceptional along with the ambiance. read more

Our first time here, the food and the drinks were immaculate. Elysia gave us some of the best customer service and made sure we were satisfied with everything. As we were getting ready to leave, Scott the owner approached our table to make sure everything went was expected and I told him our dinner experience exceeded those expectations. They will not disappoint. Wether you're in the mood for some Mediterranean, Latin food, or Asian cuisine, they got a plate to satisfy those taste pallets. read more

Nomad Eatery - West Coast IPA, Smog City NOMAD HUMMUS. and my hot date - Mediterranean Near Me - El Segundo, California

The server was slow and bordering on rude. Restaurant was empty when we arrived, then quickly filled up. We asked to order special items and they said that it could not be done - which is odd, since the food is already there. Several of us had meat that was under cooked, pink chicken??, but didn't want to send it back since the service was so slow. They came with our checks before dessert was served and although we placed an order for the chocolate cake at the beginning, it took over half and hour to arrive - and at least 45 minutes for rice pudding?? The plate was cold, the pudding was cold - what did they have to do with it to take that long? Anyway, I have eaten here before and loved the food and service - after last night, we won't be going back. read more

Let me be clear.... My stars are based on my experience with the food. I am pretty sure there was nothing wrong with it, it just did not fit my pallet. Service: Very good. Nice staff. 5/5 Ambiance: clean, open and pretty. 5/5 Food: 3/5 I ordered the Chimichurri Steak. It came with a side of fries. The food looked delicious.....Smelled delicious.....But for me, it was not to my liking. Something just didn't taste delicious and I can't pin point it. The meat tasted gamey. I had to take a second look to see what meat it was because it just did not taste like beef. Almost had a lamb taste. The fries were crunchy super and very deliciously tasty (yummy). The Chimichurri sauce was very vinegary. I was really looking forward to enjoying this but I did not. I gave the rest away. I wanted to try the crispy chile relleno but I don't think I will be coming back NOTE! NOTE! NOTE! Please don't go by my review. I am most sure that someone else may like the way the plate taste. I just didn't. My preference. read more

Took some circling to get in the door but glad we did it. Having never been here we walked past the entrance and wondered confused until we noticed the door. Inside was clean, modern, with soft light and open space. The service from the door to the dessert was friendly, helpful, and came with good recommendations. The wine was reasonably priced by the bottle. We ended up with a nice tempranillo. We started with the cauliflower appetizer what was well seasoned and roasted perfectly. Mains were steak and salmon. Both amazingly finished. Nomad has earned its star rating for sure. We will be back again. read more

Pulled up to Nomad Eatery, as a Runaway mother with another Runaway mother, on the day before Christmas Eve trying to catch a child free vibe! Didn't realize that they were supposed to close shortly after our arrival but they were very gracious enough to serve us. Food was super good- ordered the steak/fries, hummus, Italian salad, and the branzino. I must admit that I enjoyed everything that I put in my mouth! Gaious was an excellent server, I also liked that he and the bartender were able to accommodate me adding vodka to the pineapple/ginger drink lol! I had a good time at Nomad, the music, and fireplace also added to the much needed chill moment we were aiming for! Thank you again Nomad, I'll surely be returning :) read more

It was my first time here. I came here with some co-workers of mine and we tried it based on another co-workers recommendation. We came on a Friday at lunchtime. I was surprised there was no wait during lunch hours. The ambiance was nice & relaxing. The prices are about a little bit above average. Any restaurant you go to in El Segundo costs about $10 - $20 per plate. Nomad Eatery is no different. But it's always good to try new places out and that's what I came for. I got the Korean Sandwich and it was delicious. The portion size is just enough to get you full and possibly even take home. I was debating on getting the Avacado toast, but when I saw my co-worker get it, I changed my mind. I do not regret this sandwich. Try this place in El Segundo. Good place to come to during lunch. read more

Nomad Eatery - KOREAN CHICKEN SANDWHICH - Mediterranean Near Me - El Segundo, California

Glad to try this place, but it was honestly just okay. Went for happy hour, which had a good selection of items, but the portions were extremely small. Between two people, we had four happy hour items and one entree and it barely felt like enough food. Will definitely pay a pretty penny! Although pricey, the food was tasty for what it was, so I would rate food a 4/5. Had chips and guacamole, hummus (the flatbread with it was warm and perfect), crispy coconut shrimp (only 4 shrimp from the happy hour price of $7 is a bit much!), and chicken and vegetable skewers off the HH menu. Also ordered the chimichurri steak frites, which had good flavor and was cooked well. If you go in knowing you will be paying a lot for not a lot of food, it's a good spot. Glad to have tried it and don't feel the need to go again. read more

Lovely atmosphere inside an office park, it looks like a beautiful oasis. I'd say everything good was balanced by something off and vice versa. The mussels appetizer was delicious in a creamy coconut broth. The $18 glasses of unnamed house wine that was just okay put me off. The chicken skewer plate and the vegan beyond meat patty plate featured fresh ingredients, well crafted babaganoush and a light tabbouleh. It needed hummus to round it out. The flat breads it came with were freshly made but were mostly cardboard-like. Overall, it really was a push-pull but ended up at 3 stars because in the end it all felt a little like artifice. Hopefully they will continue to improve and add some substance. It does have a lot of promise but it's not there for us right now. read more

Came here for dinner late one evening a while ago. I like this place. It's very nice. We ate at a table near the bar. Easy parking too. Great service. I had the chimichurri steak frites. Very good. I'd come back here again. read more

Such a cute and cozy restaurant with really yummy food! We got the hummus platter, chop salad, and risotto and it was so yummy! The menu is awesome with tons of options. The service is also great, everyone who works there is so welcoming and friendly. Something that we appreciated was that it wasn't too loud which is always a plus. read more

I recently dined at Nomad Eatery for the first time. It was dineLA time and so it was perfect time to check this place out. For dineLA they had a $15 lunch offering the included 2 courses. The first course consisted of choosing between a Tuscan Kale Salad and a Nomad Hummus while the Second Course consisted of choosing between Grilled Salmon Esquites, Chicken Skewered Wrap and Bento Inspired Lamb Mezze Board. One of the nice things about dineLA here is not everyone has to order the dineLA special menu. Not all restaurants to do this. For our table however; my mom and I opted to both try the dineLA. We decided to try different things from the dineLA menu so that we could try a variety. We first tried the Nomad Hummus. I saw this is a very popular appetizer here and I can definitely see why. The Nomad Hummus was creamy and good in flavor. We next tried Tuscan Kale Salad. This was also a very nice salad. I liked the sweet taste that the salad had. This could be attributed to the dates in the salad. There was also an added crunchy texture due to almonds. I loved the flavor too that the shave percorino added. For our entrees; we got the Chicken Skewered Wrap and the Bento Inspired Lamb Mezze Board respectively. The Chicken Skewered Wrap was my least favorite. I thought it was a bit dry and it was the accompanying tahini sauce; that really made it flavorful. The Lamb Mezze Board was ok. The Lamb Kebab was a little bit hard and I wished it was a bit more tender. Overall I felt first course of dineLA out did second course of dine LA. As for the service here at Nomad Eatery; I thought it was a little off. The waitress never gave us any additional water although she passed by multiple times seeing almost empty glasses. I noticed the neighboring table had a bit better service (getting refills on water and iced tea) but they looked to be regulars that she knew who she was very friendly to. Overall it was an ok visit to Nomad. I've been here before several times when it was still Jackson's and do think Jackson's was a bit better but then again this is my first time at Nomad. read more

My family and enjoyed a very nice dinner at Nomad Eatery recently. It was our first-time dining there and we went based on recs from friends who live in the area. We were not disappointed. The ambience is good for both dressing-up a bit or going casual. Decor is Mediterranean-African-beachy- sounds odd, but it's interesting and comfortable. Food: we had the BEST HUMMUS EVER, mussels & clams, and the Lomo Saltado. I mean it- you will crave the Hummus after you leave (heading over for lunch now). Shellfish came in a delicious broth with grilled bread on the side. The Saltado could've been a bit rarer- I'll specify medium-rare next time. Full bar. Service was prompt and professional. And, the owner, Scott, is charming. You can tell how passionate he is about food and how much attention he put into cultivating dishes for the menu. This is not a chain-restaurant. It's a small business- the type my family loves to support. Oh, and parking is free, abundant, and convenient to the restaurant. Bon Appétit! read more

Food was superb. Service excellent. Ambiance astounding. Price just right. It was our first time and it did not disappoint.

We got the chicken skewer, the salmon esquites, and the crispy chili relleno. The chicken skewer were ok. The flavors were good, but the quantity was small even with the extra bread. The person who ordered this had to get an appetizer. I got the salmon esquites and i was kind of confused? The server had told me it was going to be served medium rare and it was almost well done. The spices in the corn were so good. The chili relleno looks really big, but it was mostly cheese. Even though there's suppose to be meat, it looked like the person was mostly doing cheese pills read more

Nomad is definitely a little eatery. The ambience is casual and the lighting inside is serene. You can also sit on the patio and I think at night they light candles. Anywho, I had the happy hr rose and coconut shrimp. The rose was sweet and tangy, it was tasty. The coconut shrimp was a nice size but didnt have a whole lot of flavor. I ordered the chile relleno based off the bartenders recommendation of popular dishes. It has a nice crunchy outside shell and when you crack it, cheeese oozes out. At first it is so good, then you realize you are eating cheese melted in a thin (almost nonexistent) layer of chile and a crust that covers it. I had to stop eating it because the cheese took over my belly and the feeling wasnt so great. The gin gimlet was a tasty dessert afterwards though read more

This spot is a little hidden--it's tucked behind a business building, so it's easy to miss if you're just driving by. But it's definitely worth finding. The restaurant has a really cozy, romantic feel to it, and it was a nice place to unwind and enjoy a good meal. The food was great--simple, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I also really liked the cocktails; they were thoughtfully made and looked just as good as they tasted. When my friends and I arrived, we were greeted by someone we later learned was the owner. He was super welcoming and even stopped by our table later to see how everything was. We ended up chatting with him for a bit and learning a bit of his backstory--he was genuinely kind, which made the experience feel more personal. This was my first time here, but I'd definitely come back. It's the kind of place that feels special without trying too hard. read more

Came here for my boyfriend's graduation lunch. The place was pretty empty when we got here but it was peaceful. The service was nice and attentive. We were seated outside which looked pretty with their decor. We had the charcuterie board for an appetizer; that was ok. And we ordered the "From the Heights of Macau Picchu" pitcher which served about 5 of us. The drink was heavy in the alcohol which I liked. For dishes, I tried the chimichurri steak fries and the chicken kabob plate. The kabob plate was yummy with the veggies and the side sauces were really good. But my favorite was the steak. read more

This place is a little hidden but I'd call it a gem. The restaurant is on the backside facing the theater parking lot. I went for dinner and had the impossible meat kabob plate. I really enjoyed it as I've never seen anything like this before. The ingredients were fresh and service was excellent. The cocktails were also tasty and large. It is a little pricey but all places are in the area. I would go back. There's lots of outdoor seating as well. read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon and enjoyed lunch here. The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing and cute! The food was okay but the Steamed Mussels was the dish that stood out compared to the others we ordered. We had ordered the mimosa flight and a cocktail but it unfortunately never made it to our table. The waitress was very apologetic and removed it from our bill without hesitation when we requested it to be. read more

Nomad, south of LAX in El Segundo, has this way of being the perfect place to go when you're in the area and not really sure where else to go. It's unassuming. But tonight, the place had a stillness to it--a very light crowd on a Thursday night, owing apparently to some construction work on the patio. You walk in, the emptiness almost echoing, and wonder if you're in on some kind of secret or if you've simply misread the room. The bartender, however, is a gem--a real pro. Friendly without being overbearing, capable with a steady, quiet confidence that makes you think he's seen and heard it all. I settled in and ordered the scallop crudo and a rare burger, bunless. The crudo arrived adorned with an ambition that was just a bit misplaced, hot peppers pushing their way into a dish that should have celebrated the scallop's simple, oceanic clarity. Not bad by any means, but somewhere between the ingredients and presentation, the purity of the crudo got lost. The burger was good--rare as I like it, but without much fuss to get in the way. The ambiance? Understated, calm, the kind of place you could sit for hours without noticing the time pass. Drinks were a solid A--crafted with that same quiet skill as the bartender's manner, not overly complicated but with a certain finesse. Overall, it was...fine. A solid B+ for food at this price point, but maybe I'm spoiled--or just wary of settling for good enough when this town has so much more to offer. Still, I couldn't help but feel for the bartender. A man who gives his job that much care deserves a livelier room, so I tipped accordingly. Will I be back? Probably not, given the wealth of options in LA. But if fate or circumstance finds me back at Nomad, I wouldn't say no. There's more to be tried, maybe a different night, a different dish, with just the right amount of restraint. read more
