I have never given a restaurant such a poor rating for service but this was one of the worst experiences I have had in my many years of dining. We were at my husband's best friend's birthday party and we asked if we could sing a song my husband wrote for his friend. We were shrugged off by the many waiters who were there and told to wait. After twenty minutes we asked again and were told that he could not sing--that there were other patrons there. We had a table of 12 people, had spent almost $3000 for the meal and were treated like vagrants. I would not recommend going there to anyone I know. read more

Brunch review: service was good, ambiance was too casual for a celebration, portion sizes left you wanting more, food was good, but brunch service ends at 10:45am even on the weekend, the kitchen starts washing dishes even while you're finishing your meal.. read more

BEAUTIFUL!!!! but you're basically paying for the ambiance and NOT the food. The food was decent but not worth the price. The service was also spectacular but a little stuffy. My fiancee and i had sushi as our apps. The only reason I would go back would be for the sushi. The sushi was melt in your mouth fresh! As for our entrees, meh. I had the turbot which was good but definitely not worth $42. My fiancee had the beef dish which consisted of 2 tiny pieces of braised ribs and a small filet (maybe 4oz). Sure it's not a steakhouse but if you're charging $50, it should be pretty good. I do want to go back to eat the sushi and sit out on the garden terrace. But I won't be back for the entrees. read more

Just came here to celebrate our 4-year anniversary, and hmm hmm hmm was it delicious. My fiance made a reservation via OpenTable, and requested a window seat for our anniversary. When we first arrived, we signed in, and the hostess proceeded to seat us ALMOST at the window seat, but I asked if we could sit at one of the empty window tables, per our OpenTable request. The hostess agreed to ask the Manager, and he did comply. The view of the city while dining on the 7th floor of the Park Hyatt was amazing. The atmosphere was a little stuffy, but the interior decoration (big windows, modern lights, and funky calamari-shaped things hanging from the ceiling). For drinks, we ordered John Anthony Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley, and a Rioja Red wine - both were delcious (around $12 per glass). I especially liked the Sauvignon Blanc, and I typically prefer reds - it was really smooth, and not too fruity. One of the servers then brought out the amuse bouche, which was cured meat wrapped with grapes, and all I can say is WOW, this did indeed amuse and excite the palate!! We then had some freshly baked/made bread - ranging from the oven-warm sourdough (YUM) to a crunchy and tasty cranberry cracker. For appetizers, we were debating between the truffle dish and the diver scallops tart. We ended up going for the diver scallops tart (DEFINITELY recommend, especially if you're not getting the diver scallop entree). OMG these scallops were amazing, nothing like I've ever eaten before. The thin diver scallops were on top of caramelized leeks (w/butter), and tart, with parsley as garnish. Eating the scallops/leeks/tart together with the parsley was so delicious - a mouthful of flavors in my mouth, with the taste of parsley to cleanse the palate. Next time, I do want to order the truffle brulee (with caramelized hazelnuts!) For entrees, we ordered the torbut (white fish) and veal. Each came with shallots, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, all caramelized and tasty. The torbut was also the pricier entree (at $42), which I felt was a little overpriced for what I expet a $42 fish to be. The torbut dish did also come with little shrimp (that were actually pretty tasty, and melts in your mouth) and some mussels, and foam (which was interesting to eat). The veal dish was more unique than the torbut (with the polenta), and I enjoyed the caramelized veggies more than the fish. The veal was a tad bit overcooked (we ordered medium, but it did come out medium well, so I recommend ordering it medium rare). Nonetheless, the veal was tasty. Next time I go back, I'll get the poussin (baby chicken) or the lamb & artichokes. However, I did salvage my torbut choice by ordering a wonderful dessert - the pineapple panna cotta with passionfruit sorbet/coconut. I don't even like coconut that much, but the combination of flavors (the pineapple even had pepper on top) was SOOO unique and exquisite. The flavors were all so distinct and melts in your mouth. My fiance got the Chocolate Cake with mocha ice cream, which was good, but not as good as my dessert :). Now here's where the service was top-notch, the server brought out a special anniversary dessert, with a line of truffles, etc., and handmade chocolate that read "Happy Anniversary". Throughout the night, the servers were attentive, our glasses were never beyond half empty, and the timing in clearing plates, and brining out meals were perfect. I could not have expected a better experience. I will definitely go back, maybe even for brunch! Overall, the tab came out to $100 per person with all the food/drinks we had. read more

3.8 stars $15 for a whiskey and lemonade, very undude dude. Okay, yes this place is super fancy, and you get treated like a king, but the food was just not that good. Maybe it was the knowledge that my rent is less than this meal that made it less savory or the fact that there are about 100 better restaurants out there at a third of the price. I don't know. Maybe it was a don't believe the hype moment. NoMi more like No me save my cash and go to a better restaurant. read more

Went here with the bf to celebrate our anniversary, we decided to go here for brunch and it was amazing! NoMi is located on the 7th floor of the Park Hyatt hotel. We were seated by the window which was a beautiful view overlooking Michigan Ave. and the Water Tower. I ordered the Lobster Benedict and it was so delicious!! The dish was prepared perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was so tasty. The bf ordered the crab omelette which he enjoyed as well. We also ordered the Brioche french toast with Michigan blueberries since we heard so much about it, and we were glad that we ordered it. The french toast was so good and I loved the Michigan blueberries and creme fraiche that was paired with it. I think that might have been my favorite part of the meal. I would definitely love to come back here just for the french toast! NoMi is a bit on the pricey side, but if you want to celebrate a special occasion and have a great view I would definitely recommend this place. Also I would come back here just for the french toast. read more

another fave of mine...I've had breakfast here which was phenomenal. The rest of the times I've just sat in the bar. Great view of michigan ave...I have cravings of their bacon cheese hamburger and pomme frites. Sushi here is also good. Spicy tuna is excellent. in the summer you can go out on the patio, for an older crowd. Lots of businessmen come here after work. Their pom champagne cocktail is awesome...great wine list, great martinis. I like this place for a low-key, classy bar scene. Also good for people watching. read more

Chic. Classy. Sophisticated. Take a special date to this place and she will come away impressed. They have an awesome setting if you manage to get one of the window tables. These tables are obviously in high demand and I would try to make sure that you get seated at one of these. They have a fabulous view of the Water Tower. I'd give 3 stars to the actual food but 7 stars for the desert....we had an apricot clafoutis which was to die for! Also, the chef sends complementary hors d'oeuvres from time-2-time which are really good. read more

Three of us sauntered over to the NoMi lounge after a disappointing experience at the Signature Lounge. We'd also been to the Art Institute earlier in the day, so we were a little too dressed down for this swank spot. This place is upscale. Ladies and gents were decked out in their finest and there was lots of people watching! When you first walk into the lounge, you'll spot a semi private room with a large table surrounded by walls of wine. (Looks like a fun spot for a ladies night out.) The lounge itself is long and narrow with seating at the bar or in low tables with comfy chairs next to the windows. We found a seat next to the window and the waiter arrived almost instantly. We'd already had a few so we opted to order some champagne (yum!). The waiter was very professional, yet warm. We had such a good time, we stayed for a second bottle. Almonds served with our drinks kept us even happier. This is a nice spot to hang out with friends, people watch, or have a romantic evening. On our way out, we checked out the patio. I think I'll be back when summer comes! read more

OMG!!! I SO loved that restaurant!! I would have give it a 5 stars if it was not of the "bad" service at the bar. A bartendar has to be friendly and be able to talk to his customers, didnt' happen at Nomi :( But the food was amazingly awesome, organic, different, super high quality and the sommelier was just perfect!! super friendly, cares about you, makes you try new wine, new idea, not snobby, just perfect! The restaurant has the greatest view ever, really! It's all window, top to bottom!! Can't wait to go back!!! OMG! read more

Was here for my husband's office Christmas party recently and I must say I'm still awestruck! Since my last experience here was brunch, I was thrilled that I get to eat dinner here. They have two private rooms for parties. We were at the one close to the dining area. The decor was modern and chic. The service was friendly and super-attentive. Not once did anyone at the party have an empty glass of champagne or water. But the best part was still the food. The hors devours included Sushi (brilliantly flavorful!), olives stuffed with choriso, marinated shrimp, foie gras and parmesan fritters. The dinner began with soft bread served with herbed butter, followed by a beautiful salad, then a sweet potato gnocchi appetizer that was exquisite. A palate cleansing sorbet later we had the choice of short rib, chicken and vegetarian risotto for entree. The butternut squash risotto I chose was absolutely delectable that reminded me of the time I tasted it in Italy. It was topped with perfectly cooked exotic mushrooms. For the dessert, the beignets were outstanding! This is definitely one of my favorite upscale restaurants in Chicago and I'm glad to know they never disappoint!! read more

Food was pretty good. Service wasn't as great. Came here with my girlfriend on her birthday. We sat outside, which maybe was our fault because later in the evening, the patio becomes a pretty loud bar that feels less like a restaurant and more like a crowded upscale drinking area. There was only one server outside, and the food took over an hour to come out. Not only that, but when our steak came out, it was cold. The salmon was excellent, though, and once they re-cooked the steak, it was very good. We got the Nomi roll to start and agreed that it was pretty average. They comp'd us on dessert, which was nice. Also nice were the drinks, which were super strong and made waiting an hour for your food more tolerable. But I really wanted to like this place more than I did, just because it is such a nice space with really great views in the heart of the city. Unfortunately though, I will probably not be back. read more

I was here last night for drinks and I enjoyed it. The interior is very sleek, all glass, dark woods and brushed silver. Within moments of sequestering myself (read: hiding) around the corner by the dining area, a kindly man deposited a small dish of salted cashews on my little accent table and wordlessly handed me a menu. I ordered the sake margarita and waited for my bosses to arrive. They called ahead and asked me to order them 2 pomegranate margaritas, and the waiter (not the first guy) gave me a barely concealed look of death, lol. I don't know why, but he just bristled. When the guys got there, they scored a table outside, so we paid and enjoyed the outdoor terrace. VERY cool eating outside that high up. My Iowa girl was giggling inside. Service outside was a little slower, but no less friendly than the cashew/menu guy when I first got there. The next time by boss is paying for $15 drinks, I am SO there...otherwise, this is a special occasion place for me. EDIT 10/18/07: Went back for a work dinner. The menu was fairly limited, but we were told it changes every day, and that leads me to believe that they are working with the best stuff they can get on a daily basis. Very cool. We were also served an amuse bouche and shots of hot chocolate on the house (also very cool). The sushi was sublime - I even enjoyed the salmon, and I normally avoid it. Still a solid 3-star for me, but it was nice to see both the wining and dining portions of this place. read more

This is the best bar in the world. Hand's down, one of my favorite places on Earth. The music and atmosphere is always on point, the service is perfection, drinks to die for, and the view is gorgeous. I usually go with special friends for the evening before heading to dinner, or if you're visiting and looking for a special/romantic place to grab a drink after power shopping, this is the best choice. They sell the candles that are burning in the restrooms, which I know own and burn here at home on special evenings. The best. At one point the server's started to ask if I'd like my "regular" drink? oops... read more

4.46/5 Great experience here with a group of 8 colleagues. 1) Impeccable service - we were always being attended to. 2) Great vibe: cozy atmosphere, not too loud. Great for larger groups (at least on a Tuesday) 3) Delicious food - highlights included the lobster and beets. read more

Sunday Brunch was FAB-U-LOUS. Good thing I don't live in Chicago or else I'd be starving myself Monday - Saturday so I could gorge myself at the Park Hyatt on Sundays. OMG, there are 4 different stations where you get food and, as if that isn't enough, you can order an unlimited number of entrees (there are about 5 to choose from, but you can hypothetically order all of them)!! I got the egg white omelette (yeah, I'm one of those people that like to order Diet Coke with my supersized Mickey-D's) and it was dee-lish. I'm not an eggs benedict fan but I hear theirs is fantastic - it has a piece of lobster on the side. It looked good and tasted fine, but I'm not a good judge of eggs benedict. The catch of the day was also mighty tasty. So, on to the stations: Station #1: Raw bar: sushi, rolls, shrimp cocktail, oysters, seaweed salad, soba noodles. This was all so so so delicious and fresh. Station #2: Hot foods: Three kids of french toast (raisin, chocolate, classic), two kinds of pancakes (nuts, banana), quiche, sausages (chicken, pork), bacon, cream of potato soup, potatoes. Station #3: Salads, Breads, Cheese, Crackers, Ham, Pate, BREAD PUDDING. Station #4: Various gourmet dessert bites and a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. All in all, a great way to start off Sunday - normally a day you when you wake up sad that the weekend is almost over and work starts the next day. The standouts in my mind were the oysters, french toasts, quiche, pancakes, sausage, egg white omelette, and bread pudding. The desserts were a bit too gourmet-ish for my taste. I would have preferred more cake-y stuff, like a cupcake buffet. But, the other stuff is soooooooo good and you don't have much room left for dessert anyway. read more

Over the top. Sophisticated. Delish. I've been here for brunch with my family to celebrate big occasions, and Nomi is the perfect place to do this. It is impressive and impeccable. The range of food served at brunch is amazing -- especially the seafood! Make sure you leave room for all the desserts.... read more

Downright decadent in every way. I've never had a bad experience at NoMi's lounge. Yes, you have to live with the fact that often enough, there are 50+ year old men scavengering for 20+ women, but that being said, I often see younger couples, groups of women and on occasion, a lone hot young man sitting at the bar. No joke. All the cocktails are fab; the wine list is really quite broad, yet selective; the food is always perfect (I love the Unagi and Avocado roll and chacuterrie plate (total deal)); and the wait staff is very attentive. A perfect location to meet friends prior to dinner or after dinner and if business is not entirely completed (i.e. you're still on the clock), it's a good locale to wine the client and get them to sign your retainer agreement. Again, no joke here. Oh, and if you want a view, it's from the dining room's bay windows. You get a wonderfully romantic view of the old Water Tower (not the mall for the tourists, but of the tower itself). read more

I took my sister and wife to NoMi to celebrate a special birthday. What a great place, tremendous service, tasty food and beautiful views. We had sushi and beef tartar appetizers and they were delicious especially the tartar do not miss it. I had the waygu rib eye and it melted in my mouth, the potato puree was buttery and the brussel sprouts were sweet and crunchy. Don't fill up because the desserts are "to die for". The apple tart was out of this world. If you are in the market for a dinner for a special occasion this is the place. read more

Best. Meal. Ever. Thanks NoMI! read more

Very nice restaurant. Great service. Desserts - to die for!!!!!

The service was nice and relaxed. The food was disappointing. No flavor. No creativity. It seems like a shadow of what it once was. I am not sure why this restaurant comes so highly recommended. I'd pass on it. read more

this is my favorite bar in the city. In the summer when the terrace is open, it's amazing! We have a waiter that could not be any nicer and has been there for years-his name is Stephan drinks are expensive, but this hidden gem is worth it! read more

I only went to the lounge for a quick drink, but this place is great. Fantastic bloody mary. Great decor. Convenient location for starting the night or for a quick oasis from the Mag Mile crowds. Amazing service- no really, absolutely amazing! The noticeable lack of a snobbish feel from the staff was quite welcome considering the positioning of this lounge. Drink prices seem to be a bit steep ($15+ for specialty drinks, aka normal drinks). read more

Oh boy... It pains me to write this as a long time, passionate patron and fan of NoMi where I've had many an enchanted dinner, drink, and brunch. But alas, over the past two years under Christoph's leadership the experience has gone from fine, sublime to dare I say, average and worse, an average hotel restaurant. The inspiration is gone reflected in the quality, variety, innovation, and risk all of which are sadly lacking. I mean for goodness sakes, just looking at some of the other reviews, the turbot has been an unmovable and uninspired cement like fixture on the menu for over 3 to 4 years. Does the Park Hyatt need a $150K a year exec chef for this? I've had multiple, detailed correspondences with the gm and f&b director hoping only to help them get back on track, but today after yet another underwhelming, insipid display, I am done. Pritzker et al need to analyze what they really want to do and who they wish to captivate, break it apart, and do something...inspired. Best of luck team. read more

The View is awesome. The new look is alot more approachable. and the food is very good too. Great service. The Kitchen is very open, you will feel like you can walk in there and help! Serivce is top notch read more

Incredible dining experience. You wait at the bar while your table s getting ready. The bartender then let's you know when your table is about ready so you can cash out. Excellent service all around. Amazing experience. Very pricey and worth every penny. read more

Visited NoMI Kitchen for a work dinner on short notice with a group of out of town team members. The first thing they said was that they loved the view, and I have to admit - it is fantastic! Atmosphere is a 5. We were seated in the dining room - not directly in front of the windows, but instead a bit back (though, the view from anywhere in the restaurant is great). Our server was very professional and friendly. Service was a bit drawn out in that this isn't a fast place to eat, but we ate at a good pace. A 5 for service. The food is delicious, but the portions are small for some items (appetizers for example) and the sides aren't included. This isn't an issue for some, but I don't have a huge appetite, so it's hard to figure out what to order. Everything was very beautifully prepared and of high quality. Food was a 5. So...on to value. I really had been wanting to eat at NoMI Kitchen as I had been to NoMI and loved it, but couldn't visit enough due to the price point. I thought, after reading many reviews, that the spot might be a bit more approachable for those who don't want to have a multi-hour meal. I will say that the food prices are in-line with downtown prices, though, for the portion size on some dishes...I don't think the value is there. For example, I think the price of a steak is ok - especially for the quality. However, the meat appetizer...at $19 or so, is quite pricey for the size. The quality is there, but this isn't a shareable dish. Also, the sushi, while huge pieces...is good, but also, quite pricey. Also, the wine list might be almost unapproachable for some due to the cost. All in all, we spent a lot of money on dinner and it was definitely enjoyed, but I think that the value isn't consistent. A 3 for value. The bathrooms...are outside of the restaurant and down the hall. I realize this is because they have a few spots all together (the rooftop garden, restaurant, bar, etc), but that was a bit annoying. It was a nice bathroom, very clean, but in an annoying location. A 3 for bathrooms. read more

Overall: 4/5 (I'd LOVE to return to try the regular menu, but the restaurant is over-rated and too expensive for a food that is not so memorable) Taste: 4/5 (Pleasantly surprised in many ways, but also disappointed in quite a few dishes where flavor just fell flat or came in average) Originality: 5/5 (The beet salad and fresh crab cakes were tasty, the macaroon and ice-cream, and the "twist" to most of the dishes impressed us!) Value: 4/5 (For the $22 set menu for Chicago Restaurant week, this is a great deal, but normally this is a great "special occasions" restaurant that I don't think is a good enough deal to bring me back) Service: 5/5 (Perfect of course! Attentive, kind, and super-speedy water re-fills!) read more

Stopped in for a Saturday lunch with three friends and was blown away! Now, I'm just a poor, helpless girl from Minneapolis, unfamiliar with most of Chicago's best. Despite my affliction, I can confidently say that the service, decor, and food at NoMI is top notch. The host, bartender, and our server exemplified the epitome of great customer service. One in my party was celebrating her birthday, so she was quite "demanding," the nicest demanding I've ever seen. The bartender was happy to retrieve Coca-Cola, even though they only serve Pepsi products, and our waiter even managed to have the head chef visit our table and sign a menu (for the birthday girl, of course, who is obsessed with celebrity chefs). The restaurant itself is clean and classic. And yes, the view from the 7th floor of the Park Hyatt is phenomenal. By the time we sat down we were all starving. We ordered a tiger roll to start with (tempura shrimp, crab, and tuna) which didn't take us more than 10 minutes to eat. It was so perfectly fresh that we couldn't help but shove it down. For lunch, I split their infamous "800" burger and hand-cut french fries with the birthday girl and was glad that I did. The massive burger is made of American Kobe beef with nueske's bacon, Comte cheese, watercress pickled shallot, and smoked tomato aïoli on a rosemary ciabatta. Perfection (made medium rare). I also cleaned the plate of my friend who ordered the steak salad with horseradish dressing. In fact, I almost licked the plate clean. I would definitely go back for lunch even though it's a little expensive. But the whole experience - ambiance, service, people watching, view of the city, and the quality of the food - was definitely worth the extra money. read more

Without a doubt, NoMi was my favorite meal during my trip to Chicago. For years, when I used to live in Chicago, I used to walk up and down Michigan Ave and look up longingly at the 7th floor lounge from where diners enjoyed their meals while soaking in envious views of the Water Tower. NoMi did not disappoint. We were lucky enough to be seated by the window where it would be hard to find a better spot to soak in a great view of the Water Tower especially when it is lit up at night. Sure you could be dining at the Signature Room in the Hancock Tower, but this is a much more intimate and urban atmosphere. The interior is simply decorated and modern - the open kitchen with the marble countertops is absolutely a pleasure to take in as you are led to your table. The chefs at NoMi definitely know how to make a good meal. Our favorite appetizer was the gnocchi with the wild boar ragout. The ragout was extremely flavorful and paired well with the fluffiest sets of gnocchi these two lips encountered. The pulled burrata was just ok on the other hand. It was difficult to eat given its half melted consistency and it reminded us of Mexican queso fundido. For the entrees, our sea bass was good, but the stellar dish was the risotto. Rich, flavorful - this risotto is unlike any I've tasted and would work well with a nice meaty red wine to counterbalance all the flavor. Our desserts were equally a hit. We loved the trio of sorbets/ice creams and the tapioca dessert with olive oil vanilla bean ice cream. Delicious. It's clear that the guys at NoMi have some great creative vision when it comes to their dishes. It's a fantastic restaurant and one worth trying if you're in downtown Chicago. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE, from the view, to the sushi, to the staff, it's a wonderful place for lunch and dinner. The food is so fresh and tasty-they don't mess around here. They also have a gorgeous room for a private dinner with your closest friends and family (all it takes is $$). Expensive but worth it for what you're getting. Did I mention the view is incredible, looking right down onto Mich Ave and the park??? Tip: Leave the kids at home or at the Hershey store down below... read more

Excellent restaurant in the downtown Hyatt hotel. Wonderfull outdoor seating on the rather large balcony overlooking the city. I loved the sense of design: the food presentation, the well designed menu and zen-ish outdoor seating. I tried the walleye, which was perfectly seasoned and broiled. The crab soup was also very good. You must try the desserts, which are artfully designed and delicious. Highly reco the wild bolivian chocolate and Nomi seasonal tart. read more

Decent place for Sunday brunch. We opted for the outdoor patio, which made for a pleasantly sunny (if windy at times) dining experience. There's a fairly standard selection of brunch items along with some sushi options. I opted for the smoked salmon eggs benedict, which I thought was decently tasty. Our table also split the NoMI sushi platter. Although the fish was fresh and cut well, I would have liked to see some more interesting fish selections, instead of your run-of-the-mill sake, maguro, unagi, ebi, etc. and I thought it was a tad pricey at $78. However, the other menu options are actually quite reasonably priced. Service in general is rather casual, but our server was friendly and fairly attentive. However, the pacing of the meal was inconsistent and there was an uncomfortably long wait for our entrées. To their credit, we were offered a complimentary dessert as compensation, which we declined as we were full. read more

Located on Chicago Ave, just west of Michigan ave, NoMi overlooks the mag mile. The restaurant is sleek with dark wood floors and a soft, almost earthy feel (reminds me of a Metropolitan Home ad). Outstanding service, fantastic food, gorgeous bathrooms....I'm running out of adjectives. While I'm told the burgers are phenomonal in the lounge, I had a pea and prosciutto tart that I wish I could recreate. The wine list is approx. 60 pages. NoMi was offering a pre-theatre dinner package: 3 courses, $45. I'm not sure if it is still available. read more

I have dined in the restaurant and it was spectacular. But that's for another review. This review is for the NoMI Terrace. The terrace offers cocktails and a limited menu. I have been there several times after business hours for drinks and a bite. It seems to be on the downward slide in every aspect; service, atmosphere, food & bev. The rating would be higher if the prices weren't so astronomical. I expect the quality of the experience to elevate to meet the price point. Then I will happily sign a big tab. For me the Nomi terrace misses the mark. I had a dark and stormy which was a tad weak and overly sweet. I have had them at the Violet Hour - where they take the art of the cocktail to another level. It has become my bench mark for the dark and stormy. NoMI's doesn't come close. We ordered some sushi which was.. ehhh.. Seemed comparable to the take out sushi I get at Fox & Obel. Service was lackluster at best. The crowd was a mix of ummm.. big hat no cattle, hotel guests and young gals just off from their shift at Bloomies looking for Mr. Right... Not sure I would go out of my way to go back to the terrace but I will definitely look forward to dining in the restaurant in the future. read more

If you travel often you have a love / hate relationship with dining within hotels. You love it because it is convenient and they deliver it to your room. You hate it because its often over priced, usually is void of imagination and most times, quality. This is NOT the case with NoMI. NoMI is simply a love, love, love. The decor, the food, the service, all earn high marks in my admittedly demanding book. I'm a fan. I have fallen in love with NoMI (pre and post renovation) for a lot of reasons....it is imaginative, great presentation, unexpected flavor profiles, polite and friendly service.... Chef Ryan and the team create delicious, surprising flavor combinations for all meals (even breakfast, which is amazing) in a cozy but elegant environment....and offer the (much needed at times) super speedy room service for those sleepy or work-induced mornings and evenings. When NoMI went under its renovation I wasn't sure what was going to emerge but the new refined casual concept is top notch. It is the perfect location for a first date, a business dinner, a fun night out with girlfriends or a lazy weekend brunch. Highly recommend. read more

Dinner is their specialty though I enjoy the view at breakfast which is nothing special. They had a lot of confidence serving a steak with a butter knife but well deserved. Solid food in beautiful setting. The price and location makes it a steal read more

Excellent for late afternoon cocktails and oysters. The oysters were served with the classic mignonette sauce and a delicious cucumber sauce. That cucumber sauce was something I am going to try an replicate. It was cucumber, vinegar, lime, herbs and perfect with the oysters. Breakfast also excellent. Great brioche french toast and perfectly cooked bacon. Love the hotel, Park Hyatt, and NoMI, read more

I ate dinner here with my family tonight and it was amazing!!! From the food to the service everything was excellent. We started off in the garden, which is their outdoor bar, and had a couple drinks and then came into the restaurant for dinner. I recommend heirloom tomato salad, the prawns and the lobster risotto. Our waiter Joe, was so excellent and gave us the best recommendations. So yummy! read more
