When you go, I hope tacos are on the menu, they were deeeelicious.

Noah was our knowledgeable and enthusiastic host and chef, presenting each surprise course with a sense of humor and flair. While not every dish was a complete hit, each was crafted with a lighthearted and creative spirit. We will definitely return for more experiences at Nook, which is perfect for groups of 4-6 people. And hopefully, that amazing cauliflower flower soup will make another appearance on the menu!

The food was exceptional, and although not every single one of the 13 courses turned out to be our favorite—after all, it's hard for every course to wow us—the dishes were all intriguing and made us eager for more bites. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between laid-back and cozy, providing a relaxed atmosphere while the servers worked incredibly hard to deliver top-notch service. A nice bonus was that my husband arrived 45 minutes late due to a last-minute babysitter issue, but Chef Noah and the team at Nook went out of their way to bring him up to speed on all the courses without us asking. This thoughtful gesture was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We will definitely return for another special date night in the future. We'll be reminiscing about the peanut butter and jelly, pine bark, and squid courses for months to come!
