What an amazing experience dining at Noko. Took some patience to find a reservation and it is easy to understand why. They don't miss on anything... The drinks are just fantastic and quite strong without being too much. The food is beyond delightful. So many great options to start with and finish... The tuna crispy rice has all the hype and easy to understand why. We saw so many tables that had ordered fries, so we changed it up and went with the honey potatoes and wore were they amazing... The halibut was so delicious with so many great other flavors. We saved room for dessert and so happy we did with the Brookie with vanilla Gelato. Simply astonishing how perfect the dessert was paired with an Espresso Martini. If you find an open reservation so not pass up and many your way to East Nashville for this great dining experience
