Nomad was great! The atmosphere is relaxed and fresh, and the service was top-notch. Sarah, the bartender, is an absolute genius—her specialty cocktails are creative, beautifully crafted, and a real highlight of the evening.
The flaming saganaki wasn’t quite to my taste, but the presentation was stunning. The lamb sirloin was cooked perfectly, and the mushroom skewer was outstanding. I also tried a bit of the seasoned bone marrow—it was rich and flavorful. I can only imagine how incredible a bone marrow dish cooked in the Spanish oven would be!
Portion sizes were generous, and the value matched what I expected. Overall, the standout of the night was Sarah. She was friendly, engaging, and clearly talented, making the cocktail experience truly memorable. I can’t wait to come back and try more of what she’s inventing behind the bar!

I absolutely love it here and this is one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus. The service is amazing and the drinks are divine.
Perfect for date night or great place for the family you can’t go wrong at Nomad. But it’s the food that has me coming back so often.
I can’t say enough about it here!

Every time I come here my palette, mind, and soul are blown away. The staff are on point, and the chef nails it every time. Whomever creates this menu (I say creates because it changes a little with the seasons.) is quite possibly a genius. With all of the options in the area, this place reigns supreme! Please, don’t take my word for it.

The starters “house fries” was really good. It was a little bit sweet and spicy which was a nice blend. The barbecue chicken was delicious. Chicken was tender and juicy. Pasta was nice. The wonder wall cocktail was pretty unique to me. Service was really good. Very friendly service. Price was reasonable.

Really enjoyed our visit here, crispy chicken sandwich and fries were both spot on with the textures and the service was great too 🙂

Nomad is undeniably charming, with a beautifully designed space and an awesome patio setup. One of the best features was the roll-up glass wall — it was open during our visit, which made sitting indoors feel like we were still enjoying the outdoors. A lovely touch! That said, they had the AC blasting to compensate, and unfortunately, I was seated directly under a vent. By the end of the meal, I was freezing — and I wasn’t the only one at the table who felt uncomfortably cold.
The overall vibe was also very loud. We found ourselves straining to hear our waitress, though she was excellent: friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave us some interesting background on their oven and how it added something special to their cooking process.
Visually, everything was impressive — from the plating to the beautiful ceramic dishes. But the food itself didn’t quite live up to the presentation. I ordered the steak tips, which had good flavor but were quite fatty and oddly paired with both rice and fries — a bit of a starch overload. My partner’s burger was supposed to be medium but arrived well done and dry. His mother got the chicken sandwich, which she said was good overall, but the jalapeño sauce was so spicy it crossed into unpleasant territory (thankfully she ordered it on the side).
The drinks were another low point. The mixed drink ordered by my partner’s mother tasted more like bourbon on the rocks than a balanced cocktail — incredibly strong. My partner’s cocktail was overly tart and not enjoyable.
The one highlight was dessert: a flourless s’mores cake that was genuinely delicious and beautifully executed. It was the only part of the meal that felt special.
Overall, while Nomad nails the aesthetic and has some thoughtful service touches, the food and drinks didn’t deliver. It was, unfortunately, a forgettable experience, and I won’t be returning

Thank you for your thoughtful reply and for providing additional context on the dishes. I respect the work that goes into running a restaurant, and I certainly wasn’t trying to diminish your team’s efforts — I noted in my review that the service was excellent and the presentation was beautiful. I also appreciate learning that the steak dish was a traditional preparation, and that’s helpful context I didn’t have.
That said, I do want to mention that your response seemed to focus mostly on defending aspects of the meal I shared as personal impressions, while somewhat overlooking the feedback I provided on the burger and drinks — which I believe were genuine areas for improvement and not matters of personal taste.
My review was intended to reflect my overall experience that night — which includes both what worked and what didn’t — not as an attack on your culinary abilities or team. I wish you continued success and hope this feedback is helpful as part of the broader picture of guest experiences.

Had dinner with a friend here the other night. Probably the best meal I’ve had in a while. The bartender recommended the Lomo Saltado and it was awesome. Good appetizer and desserts, as well friendly bar staff. Old Fashioned was excellent but was a pretty small drink for the cost. Ill definitely be back.

Flaming Saganaki to begin the evening. Ouzo brought back memories from Greece. Claire behind the bar was one of the reasons we’ll try and find time to revisit. Best seat is at the bar.

This was our second visit to Nomad and again the food and drinks were both excellent. We love that the menu changed from this winter! The summer seafood and couscous were both excellent as well as our starters conch with key lime aioli and the summer crostini. We did the starter entree and sweet for 45.00. The cheesecake was baked to perfection. Both cocktails on the menu we tried were refreshing and I asked if the bartender would make a mojito even though it wasn’t on the menu and it was excellent as well. Service was wonderful and so was the outside patio. Another restaurant adding to the great food scene in Columbus.

The food at this place is very tasty. We have been here multiple times, and our 7 year old soon loves the place. The servers are also very friendly. It’s family owned, and our first time there, the waiter took some time to give us a little history behind the owners. We ordered stuffed peppers for an appetizer and first look. I was worried, but the taste was great. I have two drinks, both really good and clean. Didn’t feel very syrupy. The taste was fresh. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Just make sure you make a reservation, the place is a little small, and on weekends, they can really be packed.
