For a jam packed Friday lunch during Holiday break, I was beyond impressed with the speed of service at Luxbar. Everything was great from the food to the service. They had a manager floating filling water and delivering drinks. Really great experience.

We frequently dine here. If we go to the cathedral one block away then we always make an appearance at Rosebud on Rush. My wife is a wine lover and she always is pleased by the choices our servers recommend. So many Italian restaurants have limited their veal fishes but not here. My wife’s veal was superb. Tried the Tagliatelle Bolonese for the first time. Great. Dessert was tiramisu and cannoli. Our Chinese guest never had cannoli and she was happy with her choice.

My experience at NoMi was exceptional! From the very pleasant hostess to my extremely kind and attentive waiter. The view is spectacular and my holiday meal was scrumptious! I dined alone and never felt hurried or rushed. I had the sea bass for my entree and it was delicious! My only suggestion would be considering a spirit free pairing. They offer a wine pairing to enhance your meal but as someone who does not drink alcohol, this is something I’d enjoy and appreciate.
