Outstanding food and service! The room is exquisite! The service was fabulous. Samantha our server was amazing! I have an unusual drink order and got it in on the first try. We shared a really good pizza and a cesar salad with chicken. I’m a salad foodie and it was really good with plenty of chicken. This is now on our rotation and can’t wait to go back. Thanks for the good time!

We took advantage of the wine/salad/pizza experience offered at NOOK, and sat at the bar. It was exceptional. They showed up which wines were available for the deal and allowed us to select which one we wanted. We ordered the Italian chopped which was good, but I would next time want it with less radicchio, and more arugula. The margarita pizza was perfect, and delicious. Loved the ambiance, and service was wonderful. It was convenient with my visiting friend staying at a nearby hotel, so I could drop her off afterward. A great find. Would definitely come here again.

This was a last minute decision but a great one. Great, attentive and friendly service. Good bartender. Best arancini ( rice balls) I've had in a long time. Perfect pizza in a wood burning oven. And lots of vegetarian choices, too. Very relaxing dinner or late bite restaurant. I have added to my list to revisit. Thanks for a pleasant evening for my friends & me. JMR
