“This is food the way we like to eat,” says Joe Davi, Founding Partner at Nona Blue.
Davi and Bill Bona, also Founding Partner at Nona Blue, saw American dining trending toward smaller portions with different tastes; sharing at tables had always been an option, now it was being encouraged. As the vision for Nona Blue began to come into focus, Bona and Davi began crafting their “Shareables” menu, featuring items that can be passed among an entire table or serve as a meal for a single guest.

    Reservation was for 11 AM. They will only hold your reservation for 10 minutes. The door was locked when we arrived at 10:55. Restaurant doesn’t open until 11. We tried to open the door at 11:00 still locked and no one came to the door. The door was unlocked at 11:08.

    It was full but since we had reservations we were seated right away. Great menu very varied. The wait staff was excellent. Food was outstanding (the cream corn was out of this world). Overall very nice. Even so a bit pricey but it was a great dining experience.

    The service I received was subpar. I’m a regular and was throughly disappointed in the service. I spoke with the manager on duty, which is very unusual for me.

    Nice restaurant and service was good. Food left much to be desired. Pork chop was well Dione and dry and Polynesian ribeye was rare when ordered medium. Sent back the steak and brought it up to temp but steak lacked flavor. Manager never visited the table

    Nona Blue Modern Tavern is consistently a good experience from the hosts to the servers to of course the excellent food! The Lemon Chicken & the 5lbs of the best mashed potatoes in the world is my personal favorite & followed up by the deliciously moist carrot cake of course! ❤️

    All guests need to be reminded upon making reservations that not respecting the experience of other guest is not acceptable. The level of conversation, kids playing around the tables, the foul language that is constantly used for all to hear is unacceptable when dining in a upscale restaurant. Managers should respect all guests experience and not just those who seem to bring in the bucks, by expressing this position in a professional & respectful way to guest that ruin the experience for others.

    Table was ready at reservation time. Requested booth was provided. Our server, Natalie, was outstanding. She was consistently aware of our needs, checked often on our meals and experience, and made our night out a joy. We even got to congratulate her father (in the adjacent booth) on a job well done for raising such a nice young woman. All good!

We always see some fav servers when we are visiting so it makes our visits extra special! Lexe came by to say hello and welcome us. If you haven’t tried Nona Blue for Sunday brunch, make a reservation and enjoy! You’ll be happy you did!

    We went for a brunch and we liked everything, the mimosas were delicious, I ordered the egg Benedict with smoke salmon was delicious but it was kind of cold but the flavor was good. Myvson ordered the flatbread. Overall the service was good and the ambience really nice, definitely I will come back.

    Basically the service was terrible. The waitress said that she would take the order and make sure that the appetizers were served first. Meal and appetizers came at the same time. Did not see the waitress until the end of the meal. We go there several times a week and is always excellent. This server did not care.
