Cal and Ryan provided exceptional service during our visit to Nami. Cal’s recommendations were spot-on, introducing us to a variety of delicious dishes that went above and beyond our expectations. The restaurant’s tapas-style concept is perfect for sharing, and we loved trying everything family-style. Honestly, we’re still debating which dish or dessert was our favorite—they were all outstanding! A big shoutout to the chef for crafting such an incredible menu. The service was flawless, with the entire staff working seamlessly as a team. Their attention to detail and coordination created one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Nami is a must-visit, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

We started with the Burrata which was uniquely delicious. Secondly, we enjoyed the meatballs. We split the lamb chops as our meal. They were perfectly prepared. Our waiter was very attentive, and he did not rush us to finish. It was an enjoyable evening!
