A fine-dining Mediterranean restaurant that couples the freshness of traditional Greek cuisine with a modern white-washed atmosphere. The walls are adorned with old black and white photos of Greece, a nod to our namesake, which is the origin of “nostalgia.” Our healthy menu has guaranteed returning customers and consists of daily fresh fish, popular lamb dishes, and several vegetarian selections. The Aegean-inspired airy ambiance makes Nostos a romantic choice for a date night; while our private room options make it ideal for special parties or corporate events.

First time with my wife. Enjoyed the experience. Our seats were bit too close to others. I was brushed up against every time a server or other customer was passing through. My lamb was excellent and my wife enjoyed her branzino. Our appetizer calamari was on the bit.Salty side, but otherwise fresh and good. Greek salad was excellent as well, but little too stingy, with the content for the price. We'll go back and try other dishes in the future

I had the seafood with orzo. My wife had a vegetable sampler which liked as well. The wine was excellent and the desserts were tasty and a bit unusual.

Great restaurant, great food. Service was good. A bit noisy, but that was mostly due to one table with eight loud men. When they left, the ambience improved markedly. Still, it’s a noisy restaurant, but worth it.
