The valet parking is a nice touch. The vegan options were tasty and delightful. The music wasn’t too loud. You definitely should make reservations as it’s a quaint location size. Menu has a nice variety of food. Flavor is there!! Service was good!!

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!

Food is excellent quality and the chef is awesome! She came out of the kitchen to visit clients to see if they enjoyed her preparations. She also informed us of the gluten free pastas that are available, a lower calorie option. I was very pleased with the service and the food. Atmosphere is trendy and casual.

Great food and great service. Our Arancini appetizer was yummy, the Calabrese Pizza just the right amount of spice. One thing we noticed is that the whole staff works as a team, even the hostess filling water, the bartender serving apps, everything was on time and prompt. Everyone was in a good mood. This is a tough business and this team shined!

This will be our go to after hours place for dinner. We had the pizza and Rigatoni Bolognese. Both were perfectly made. Pizza had a fine classic crust and rigatoni pasta was just as good at its saucr. Many restaurants cut corners, knowing that your choices are limited after hours. This restaurant has extremely attentive service, nice ambience, great music, is not at all, stuffy, and served exceptional food. We will come here and get it again if the quality stays the same.

Food was great.. Attentive service at the beginning but then left waiting for our bill for quite awhile. Couldn't easily get our server's attention. First visit and if we had realized that most seats are positioned so that the bar TV screens are in view we wouldn't have gone. It's a pet peeve of mine to have look at screens when out to dinner. I get it in bars but don't appreciate it in restaurants. Because Nook is small the seating options away from screens is limited and I didn't realize the need to request where to sit.
