    I went to Nook on Sunday with a group of my girlfriends to celebrate one of my friend’s birthday. The food was very good, getting the food was on time and still hot and the drinks were delicious. I would go back for the drinks, and food plus the ambience was nice. Our server was social and was very knowledgeable on what to order and helped us with the menu however, I did ask for a request to send out a surprise dessert for my friend with a candle. They said they do complimentary dessert. I told server who it was but never brought it out. I was very disappointed about that. It would’ve been nice to add that to make extra special experience. I’m willing to give it a try again in the future. I recommend that they follow what the guests ask for and should get it in return.

    I made a mistake with my reservation time and arrived 20 minutes late. They were very accommodating and were able to immediately offer a table outside (which is what I booked). The patio dining area is a bit close to the main road in front of the restaurant, and while there was a great view to one side, the other side was a view of a building. There was road noise that was somewhat mitigated by a faux hedge surrounding the patio. If I had an opportunity to book again, I would sit inside. The food was delicious! The beef carpaccio was amazing and I am so glad I chose it for an appetizer. For the main course I had the Diavolo pizza. The sauce was perfect and the pizza crust was thin and lightly charred, which was good. I should have tried the special and feel like I missed out on that. The service was great. My server was very personable and attentive, even given that I was the only diner on the patio. Excellent food, and I’m sure the ambiance is much better inside.

    Overall the filets were spectacular. One person in our party ordered the salmon but it was on the drier side and the sauce was overpowering the fish. The brussel chips were wonderful and the caesar salad as well. Quite loud as the noises bounced off of every wall. It was difficult to hear the conversations.

    Food was good as was the service. One meal was not hot when it came out but that was rectified. It was our first time there. Based on the online description I thought the atmosphere would be more conducive to conversation but it was loud and hard to hear each other. Perhaps booths with high backs would help keep the noise level down. Other than that it was a good experience!

    We reserved a high top table for my husbands 40th birthday. (Phoenix location) In the notes we said we wanted to sit at the bar if possible. Bar seating isn’t shown as an option on the reservation. We got there early and found great spot at the bar. Thought all was great. Then we’re asked to move our seat for other guests by the bartender. Okay we were good sports. Well it was for the owner and he said “Dinners in me.” To me directly while he sat down next to me at the bar. Then they squished us over to the area on the bar where they have a lot of stuff on the counter for drinks. Which I usually try to avoid. Normally had it been another guest I probably wouldn’t have made a big deal but I found it irritating that the owner moved us so he could chat with his friends at the bar. Then promised to pay for dinner and totally didn’t. The food wasn’t as good as the last time I was here. Stuffed chicken was dry. Bartender was great and did a fantastic job. Owner doesn’t care about his guests and is self serving.

    We chose Nook Kitchen because of their gluten-free options, particularly their pasta and pizza, and we were not disappointed! While both aforementioned items were on backorder (they don't skimp on ingredients), there were plenty of other options that we still talk about because the meal was that good! We recommend the brussels chips, the steak dish (the potato stack was unreal), the date salad, and any of their wines. We'd also like to recognize the staff - everyone was so awesome to chat with and they were all so kind. It's definitely a place worth checking out!

    Had to get the wood fired olives, since they’re all the rage, and I LOVE olives. They were delicious, but I couldn’t tell that they were “wood fired”. They were served with crostini that was definitely wood fired, so maybe that’s what they mean. Either way, the olives were yummy and soaked in a lovely basil/oregano/EVOO, and I would order them again. I also had the Diavolo pizza. I love spicy pizza, and the soppressata was perfect. I will say, I had a hard time ordering because everything on their menu looked sooo good, so I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more!

    The experience was great. The food was tasty and the presentation is great, but a bit on the sweet side, which is less to my personal liking. For appetizers we took the Caesar salad and the fire-oven grilled olives. The salad was good but the olives were to die for. Served in a bath of amazing oil with their amazing grilled bread sticks. For the main we ordered their margarita pizza, the fungi white pizza and the pork baby back ribs. The margarita pizza sauce was on the sweet side, but the fungi pizza was amazing. All pizza’s crust was amazing from their wood fired oven. The baby back ribs were glazed in a very sweet sauce. It was really tasty, but personally I don’t like so much sweet flavor in my main dishes. I know it is a personal preference, so this is not to say the food was not tasty, just too sweet for my preference. Our waiter was amazing, he took care of all our needs, and was great overall.

    We loved this neighborhood gem. This was our first time but definitely not our last. The service was great and the food amazing. Being Vegan, It’s extra special for me with two really great vegan entrees. It’s hard to find fine dining restaurants that offer Vegan options. My only wish is that they offer a Vegan Dessert. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly recommend it! Enjoy!
