    Love the ambience and food of Nolia. Fun place to go before an FC game. Enjoyed observing the open kitchen and chatting with the chef and other folks preparing our meal. Expert service. Favorite items this time were the melon small plate and the key lime dessert. We’ll return!

    It had been a while since we were here, so we were happy to return. The service was friendly and attentive and drinks and food came out at a good pace. We shared the meatball appetizer and it had a most unique and delicious sauce. The catch of the day was Walleye which was hot and delicious, although a little salty. I had the pork dish which was excellent. Both dishes were accompanied by fresh and unique vegetable accompaniments. We’ve been avoiding carbs when possible and the menu gave plenty of options. The nice rose’ was a nice cheat!
