“This is food the way we like to eat,” says Joe Davi, Founding Partner at Nona Blue.Davi and Bill Bona, also Founding Partner at Nona Blue, saw American dining trending toward smaller portions with different tastes; sharing at tables had always been an option, now it was being encouraged. As the vision for Nona Blue began to come into focus, Bona and Davi began crafting their “Shareables” menu, featuring items that can be passed among an entire table or serve as a meal for a single guest.

    Tyl was one of the best waitress/waiters we've had the pleasure of meeting: She's extremely efficient, knowledgeable and efficient. When we asked for her opinion on various selections on the menu, she knew exactly what she thought for our tastes. Tyl is a major asset to both the restaurant and the brand. The food is always the same quality as aspected. We highly recommend both The Broadside Restaurant and Tyl . You won't be disappointed

    A restaurant with upscale quality that’s alright to enter in jeans and a t-shirt, with luxurious options like wagyu beef and more familiar picks like California rolls with real crab and spicy tuna rolls with good quality tuna, not the chopped up stuff overloaded with mayo. Their sticky ribs are a highlight, crunchy and fall off the bone tender with the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and richness. Many people come back just for the ribs, we are some of those people. The lobster noodles are amazing, the ramen is yummy, and if you partake the bar has lots of really unique and exciting beverages. If you don’t partake at the bar, good for you! More power to you! They have some really tasty non-alcoholic beverages, I LOVE their lychee lemonade. Overall this is a crown jewel at Disney Springs and a must try. Make reservations, they get full, if they are full check out their street food counter. You’ll never have a bad meal at Morimoto’s.
