    Always a great time at Nudibranch. Great neighborhood spot where regulars are easily recognized, and the hospitality feels effortless. Top that with a well executed food and beverage program, and there's a lot to like and want to return for here.

    Great food and cocktails. The prix fixe is a very great deal, coming with a few included starters before you choose your own.

    Came to Nudibranch to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and couldn’t rave about this experience enough! The food was fantastic (we went for the prix-fixe and wine pairing), the atmosphere was executed perfectly and the people are genuinely some of the best in the industry. Can’t wait to come back.

    This place is such a sleeper. The quality of the food and service is exceptional. Their drink program is top notch. Really can't say enough nice things about them.

    Tasty food, but not a very expensive happy hour. Also a bit hard to tell what's on happy hour. But everything we had was good

    Very tasty food, good service, lovely menu. The prix fixe prices were good, but since you're paying per person it's weird that they only gave 2 frog legs per table (menu made it seem like it would be 2 per person). Plus, they wouldn't let a single person get the wine paring, they required everybody to order it (last time a restaurant imposed that on me was quite a few years ago). They also didn't seem to have read the notes I made on the reservation, and I had to tell them in person it was my girlfriend's birthday.
