Nostos served up a wonderful experience for me and my guest on Jan 3. It was quiet enough that we could have a long talk and our waiter was incredibly good. He was patient, always there when needed and took care of our every need without being asked. The food was reliably good. Bravo! we shall return!

The food was very good, and reasonably priced. The server was nice but she was very overwhelmed and we waited a really long time for our food, a longer time for our check, and it made for a really really long night. They’re short staffed. We will return on a weeknight to see if it’s better.
