    My 8 oz. filet was cooked perfectly and big enough to bring home leftovers to use on a salad. I ordered asparagus an an extra side which was delicious. Filet came with 1 side and I chose baked potato. My husband got the chicken French which was delicious, 2 chicken breasts. He also chose baked potato. Delicious warm rolls with honey butter came with our meals. We split the peanut butter pie which was delicious, very creamy and similar taste to a Reese’s peanut butter cup. We were seated at a booth in the bar which probably wasn’t my first choice but it was comfortable. Our service was spot on and we had a very enjoyable evening.

    Server was excellent. Apps and salads good but a little pricey. Food was well prepared. Mixed grill very good . Son in laws filet was a little small on the portion size . Daughters prime rib excellent. Drinks were ok not great.

    I was disappointed in the lobster roll. The last few times I was here, it was generous. This time, there was MUCH less. Definitely not worth the cost. Sorry but your restaurant was my favorite. It’s where we take ALL of our out of town guests and where we celebrate special occasions.

    I chose Nolans for my birthday dinner! Ive been wanting to try it and finally got around for a reason to visit! We arrived and were brought to our booth in a cozy corner of the restaurant! Our server promptly visited our table and took our drink orders. Arrived back soon after with them and took our dinner orders! Food came out in a decent amount of time. I ordered the Filet Oscar and it eas absolutely delicious!!! Thank you for making my birthday enjoyable!

    We love going to Nolan's, especially for special occasions like our anniversary. The service, atmosphere and food are terrific. We sat in the outside room but because it was raining outside, the windows were mostly closed but the light and ambiance made it very comfortable. Wonderful service even at a busy time!

    As always, Nolan's delivers. Food is always good. Service is excellent. Atmosphere matters. Distracting noise is a minus. On this trip, we sat in a semi-crowded room, and experienced no distractions.
