We have been to Nosh Kitchen & Cocktails two other times but this time we wanted to come and just have a few appetizers. Nosh Kitchen & Cocktails have a wide assortment of appetizers to choose from. We decided to have the Cheeseburger Sliders, Braised Beef and Spinach Egg Rolls served with spicy mayo sauce, General Tso Steamed Buns (which was our favorite), 470 Flatbread with Carmelized Balsamic Onions and Brie Cheese and Seared Feta. All of these appetizers were prepared very well and delicious.

Fabulous night out… the food and service were both superb and the special Valentine’s menu was well worth the prix-fixe point! Always enjoy my visits, and this time didn’t disappoint… best item on the menu for me is the grilled octopus and it was once again perfectly seasoned and cooked… succulent and delicious! Will of course be back many, many times again!
