Our first time here and we will blown away by the beauty of the space. We enjoyed hearing from our server, Shayla about the history and details of the owner and his concept behind the architecture. It really added to the experience. The cocktails were amazing, the crab cakes were some of the best we've had, and the Texas Akaushi Steak was phenomenal. Scallops and okra were great. Lobster bisque was a bit too salty for all of us but still tasty. Our server, Shayla however, made our night. She was engaged, thoughtful, patient, and we had so much fun with her. She definitely made my birthday dinner extra special. Huge asset to Nuri!

I had a great time; however, this app shows that I did a no show which is weird bc I checked in with the waitress. She did seem a little puzzled or new, but I ended up being seated just fine. Can this be corrected your system so it does not affect me as a no show?

The dining experience was wonderful. Having cocktails in the cozy bar before dinner was great service. Then dining was the best service and food.
