Great service from Alejandro.Food was good and we can't wait to return .I'm excited to try new things .The inside bar is large and was full when we left .A local favorite for sure .

Food was AMAZING!!! Best salmon I've ever had. Carrot cake & cocktails were very smooth and super yummy. Atmosphere hits just right. The service is OUTSTANDING! Bibi was training another waitress and they were both the best!! They even got me a card with cute stickers and heartfelt notes along with a scratch off will definitely be coming back!

Food: The food was excellent. We got an array of dishes and everyone was highlight satisfied with their food and portions. Service: Our server was Cole and he was AMAZING. He was so kind, attentive, and accommodating to our requests and needs. The restaurant is VERY accommodating of food allergies. they were very thorough with the dietary allergies in our party and made sure we were informed of any potential cross contamination. Ambiance: It's very nice inside and the restaurant is well maintained on the inside and out. The ambiance is upscale but casual. It's a super versatile place that would be well suited for a nice family meal or a date night. Return: I would absolutely return if given the opportunity. I hope to try something different on the menu next time.

It took me a while to get on the Nona Blue Bandwagon, but here I am. I'm absolutely hooked on the barbecue chicken flatbread and green apple martinis. The spot can get really busy on weekends, but you can usually walk in or just have a short wait on weeknights.

My kiddo and my husband took me here for Mother's Day dinner. Truth be told I haven't been here in over 10 years, so it was time to pay them a visit again! When we arrived we were early for our reservation, so we headed to the bar to grab a drink. There was only one bartender and not super crowded (but I know looks can be deceiving). It took a few minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. I ordered our drinks, then my husband met me at the bar and waited for them, so I could check in for our reservation. The host showed us to our table and we were handed menus. It took about 10 minutes for anyone to come and take drink/app orders. Our server came by and took our additional drink orders and we ordered my kiddo's mac and cheese and their blue cheese chips as an app. My husband ordered a beer, which we had to remind our server a few times. Our app came out and it was huge. Literally tons of chips, which was a really generous portion for $12. My kiddos mac and cheese came out and we asked for ketchup a few times (he puts it on his mac and cheese), but didn't receive it. We finally asked a hostess for some ketchup and she got it for us. When it came time to our entree orders, I ordered the steak frites and my husband ordered the porkchop. Our items came out pretty quickly. The steak frites was perfectly cooked. It was tender and not chewy, which was great. The fries were hot and fried to perfection. My husband loved his porkchop, but mentioned the mashed potatoes were cold. All in all the food was good, we had a few hiccups regarding service and hot food. Would I come here again? Yes. I'm chalking it up to them having an off day.

Just outside the MCO airport, we had a really great meal last night. I tried the housemade veggie burger and it was one of the best I've had. It had char and you could tell it was cooked on a grill. Looked like it was made with rice, beets, carrot, etc. My husband had the mahi mahi sandwich which he really enjoyed. Our serve Ethan was attentive and overall we had a great experience! Jumped into our food too fast to take a photo but we got a piece of carrot cake to go and it was excellent!

We really enjoyed this meal! We went on a Sunday, so there was also an additional brunch menu. I opted to sit on the patio, the inside is a bit dark for me, but it was a nice atmosphere inside and out. Our server, Evelyn, was DELIGHTFUL: knowledgeable, experienced and friendly ! We started with a couple of $7 Bellinis, mine had elderflower with a cucumber floater...so tasty that a second was required! I ordered the Tavern Grilled Chicken salad. It was one of the best salads I've had ANYWHERE! The cold chicken was sliced thin and already combined with the ingredients and dressings. The flavors were perfect...It's one of those that you later crave. My husband enjoyed the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich, it's big...he said a tad messy, but really good. No room for dessert, but I'm sure it would have been great. The menu here is well thought out (shout out to the chefs/owners) and extensive. There is something for everyone, so it's a good choice for a group. If I lived nearby, I would be a regular!

We love Nona Blue. We love the kettle chips. We love the drinks. We love the food. We love the desserts! Service is always top notch! We enjoy sitting outside. The inside is a bit more dark and heavy feeling.

A wonderful experience! Made an early reservation and the restaurant filled up quickly starting around 5:30ish. It kind of gives country club vibes, but with excellent food. The staff is wonderful and very attentive, and everything we ordered was delicious. We went specifically for the Lobster Mac N Cheese and it was perfection. The lobster was fresh and the pasta was perfect. The carrot cake was the next best thing- tasted as close to my grandmothers as I've ever had.

At first glance, the place has a great ambiance. It's clean and has good lighting. The staff was also friendly and very attentive. The bustling ambiance, although a bit noisy due to the packed space, conveyed a vibrant energy that comes with popularity. It's evident that this place has garnered a loyal following. While the noise level might not be ideal for close conversations, it added a lively and dynamic atmosphere. Now, onto the food--the spinach artichoke dip, while good, didn't quite reach the level of spectacular. However, the fried calamari and smoked salmon stole the show. The calamari was perfectly crispy, and the smoked salmon had a rich, savory flavor that lingered on the palate. These dishes truly stood out, elevating the dining experience.
