    We talked with the server about the Josper oven, she arranged for our party to go behind the bar and view the oven and talk with the chef. He did a fantastic job of explaining the oven and grill. So we had an excellent meal and learned a bit about how dinner was fixed. What a wonderful dinner!

    This is a cool restaurant with good food and good cocktails. I loved the safety third margarita. The queso appetizer is awesome. I had the pork chop with Mexican salsa for my main. The Mexican salsa was excellent, but I felt the chop needed a bit more flavor. I noticed their happy hour deals that I will definitely go back and partake in. The restaurant is a bit small which really amplifies the noise. It didn’t help that we had a rowdy group of guys that appeared to be having after work drinks right next to us. The bar area is fairly small so they were in the main part of the dining room. It was a bit obnoxious. Overall, it is a good place to check out and I will be going again. Especially for that happy hour.

    We have dined at nomad on many occasions! The Lomo Saltadado, the pork chop, and surprisingly the Romesco sauce on the roasted veggie board are all memorable and deliscious!!

    Service was very slow. Our server was very nice, but not attentive at all. The salad dressing on the house salad was inedible- so tangy and overwhelming. The pork chop was ok, nothing great. My partner’s lobster tail was also ok. The pistachio cake was inedible- it was stale, almost as if it sat precut in the fridge for 3 or 4 days. Way too loud in there also- would not go back.

    Interesting menu, generally well-prepared. Our server was excellent. However, the noise level and bar-like atmosphere detract from the dining experience. For the prices charged, I’d expect more.

    My grand daughter and I enjoyed the 3 courses for $45. Good food, the quantities were generous. Loved the ribs appetizer.

    The 3-course Fixed Priced Menu was a great value for $45 for a starter, entree, and dessert. The Cajun grilled oysters were delicious, but the highlight of the meal was the grilled bone-in pork chop. It was brined overnight then grilled in the Josper oven, which made the pork chop moist and tender. Definitely the best pork chop I have ever had.

    We always have a great experience at Nomad. The service is knowledgeable and attentive. The food is some of the best in the Columbus area. Everything we have ever ordered is delicious. The cocktails are unique and well crafted. We come back multiple times a year to try the seasonally changing menu.
