    Namo has been one of my favorite brunch spots for a long time and their dinner did not disappoint. The lamb kebab bowl and the short rib pot pie were both delicious. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu. We went with a large party and the restaurant was very accommodating, responsive, and easy to plan with.

    Sunday brunch for my birthday with family. Food and service was excellent. Enjoyed being able to spend a leisurely 2hrs at the table. Some weekend brunch places are now limiting ur reservation to 1 hr. Not our idea of Sunday brunch

    First off the food was absolutely AMAZING! All 4 of us loved our dishes and would get again. All the food coming out of the kitchen also looked amazing! The menu had so many good options it was hard to pick! The downfall was the service.. unfortunately wasn’t the greatest and it wasn’t even a very busy time. Will give it another shot because the food was so delicious and hoping the service will be better. Seemed to be slow with everything and us constantly having to ask for more water and a second round of coffee took over 15 minutes with still nothing so we asked a different server who kindly assisted us. Again, maybe it was just a one off with the service but the food made up for it! Lots of parking which is also a bonus!

    I was excited to try this place due to the many “gluten free options” that they offer on their menu, and as someone with celiac I was looking forward to trying their chicken and waffles as my friend said they were gluten-free - and amazing! Of course, that is not the case as the chicken is breaded in flour (why promote it as a gluten free option?), and most of their entrees that come with potato’s are not done in a designated GF fryer. Was disappointed by the limited options I had to choose from as a result. Lastly, our waiter checked on us when we were nearly done with our meal and were both in need of butter, more coffee, and I wanted to ask about the hot sauce to see if it was GF but my eggs were long gone by then. Needless to say, we were bummed about our experience. I will admit that the staff overall were friendly and the restaurant is beautifully decorated.

    Thank you for your feedback Maxine. We take all dietary concerns very seriously and apologize for any inconvenience caused. To clarify, the chicken served on our waffles is NOT breaded with flour and is therefore promoted as a gluten-free option. However, our team is trained to inform customers about the possibility of cross-contamination though. For bowls or potatoes, gluten-free patrons have the flexibility to choose alternatives such as salad, tomatoes, or rice. I ensure that my team is committed to addressing these considerations and clearly communicating with guests during their visit. Your input helps us improve, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
