    One of the Top 5 best meals I have eaten in Columbus. Every tour was fresh, thoughtful, and delicious. Spend the little bit extra to dine at the chef’s counter, it’s so worth it to see the chefs in action!

    The Taste of Tuscany special is a great deal. All portions were full size and quite ample - both my husband and I brought home a sizable amount of our entrees and half of our desert. Our server (Jay) was wonderful. Even though he took our order for all 3 courses at the beginning - we were not at all rushed. He was attentive and friendly. My sole disappointment was the Cesar salad - although it was tasty - the cheese was the powdered grocery store type cheese rather than shaved Parmesan that is more typical at other restaurants.

    Nomad is one of our “go to” spots. Staff is always welcoming, drinks and food are well thought out and well cooked. Love what they do with the Josper oven (especially the vegetables).
