Was very mediocre for dinner. Lamb bowl had little to no lamb in it, was just a bowl of rice and lettuce.

This was our first time at this location. The food was amazing and our server was wonderful. She checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed even when we stayed a bit longer to chat. Excellent experience, the food was quick to arrive and we all had a great time. Can’t wait to come back. Also - very family friendly! We saw lots of toddlers and babies in the restaurant.

Lovely food for dinner at this new cafe in the SW. it seems they are best known for breakfast and brunch but the dinner options were delicious with artistic presentation. The katsu calamari and arctic char were particularly good. Our only critique was the pop music and bright lights. It would be nice to lower the lights and adjust the music to create a dinner ambience to match the quality of the food!

I decided to make a reservation at Namo for a Sunday brunch, as we had a large group (8) and it’s hard to find a decent brunch spot that will take reservations let alone for a group our size. We were seated at our table quickly, then things slowly fell apart from here. It took a while for our server to come take a drink order, at which time we were ready to order food, but she took off to prepare the drinks before we could order. It took another while for our drinks to come, at which time we ordered our food. The food came out in a reasonable time and was pretty tasty. As we were finishing our meal we all noted that our server hadn’t offered refills on anyone’s drinks and hadn’t been around in a while. My coffee sat very empty as I looked around and saw our server put her coat on and head out the door, seemingly ending her shift without telling us or passing us on to another server. We had to ask another server for our bills, which conveniently had an auto gratuity because of our group size. Must be nice to get an auto tip when you provide the bare minimum of service to your guests.
