Nomad Eatery

Had a sister date and she picked nomad for us to meet up at. The place is tucked in the corner so it's easy to miss but once you get inside, it seems very spacious and they have a covered outdoor area that made it very nice even though it was chilly outside. We decided to go with the dine LA menu, which had three courses. Our first course came out and I had the scalloped chilies and my sister had the beef risotto. Both of them were so amazing. The flavor of the risotto with the mushrooms to die for and the beef was so tender didn't even need a knife.. We got to chatting And it was over 30 minutes when I realized that our second course had not come out. During that entire time I had not seen our waiter and they had not checked up on us, so I tried to fly down a waitress who told me she would be right with me and then never came back. Our waiter came around a few minutes later, and I asked about our food and he said that the kitchen was understaffed and they were a little busy because of dying in LA. Two other tables that came after us had gotten their food before us. And I understand that restaurants can have call out, but that would've been good to know at the beginning not after we had waited 30 minutes. It was about 45 to 50 minutes after we had our first course that we received our second course. I had the chili Reno and my sister had The lamb skewer. The food was absolutely amazing. The chili Riano was gushing with cheese so much flavor, nice and crispy outside. The lamb super tender everything was just on point. We had the tiramisu and the rice pudding for dessert to finish off our three course meal.The food here is amazing. I would come back for that alone and recommend them for that sole purpose. I do not mind waiting for my food, but we should have been told in advance that the kitchen was behind, and if they were sold behind, why were two other tables getting their food before us. Also, the fact that we did not see our waiter for that entire 30 minutes was very concerning and nobody else came to check up on us as well.There's construction going on so we actually almost missed it because it's around the corner from Orange Thorpe. Plenty of parking and I'm sure it'll look a lot better once the construction is done and it is opened up.

Came here for dinner late one evening a while ago. I like this place. It's very nice. We ate at a table near the bar. Easy parking too. Great service. I had the chimichurri steak frites. Very good.I'd come back here again.

Delicious food Great customer service Great ambiance Had a good time First time here definitely will be back soon

This has become one of our favorite places and in the steady rotation. Happy hour has some great deals and the nomad fries are so good. Everything we've had here is good. We also came for dine LA, which was a great deal.

We were greeted by the manager and then ignored for a good 20 mins before anyone came to check on us to see if we were ready to order. Ambiance was nice, with indoor heat lamps and a cozy feeling. We opted for the DineLA menu so I ordered the scallop crudo aguachile, crispy branzino, and the coconut rice pudding. Everything was delicious! I was the last one to get my food and they forgot to bring my rice bowl and dipping sauce. The overall experience was good. I may return in the distant future.

I was so excited to find a French Dip sandwich on the menu at Nomad Eatery. It's rare to find and when I do I will order it. The steak was well cooked and high quality, and the bread was freshly baked. I asked for extra jus which was flavorful. They we nice to substitute a salad in place of fries. Service was great. Ambiance right now isn't great as the patio is under renovation but it'll be great once the work is done.

Met a friend for an early lunch. Free parking is available for 90 minutes albeit I don't think it's a problem unless it's super busy. The restaurant is on the backside of Rosecrans, catering to the office and businesses in that location.Nice ambiance, good service, but boring food. If the owners' aim is to showcase some international favorites I suggest they go and revisit some restaurants that feature some of their dishes. The papaya salad was bland and the papaya did not seem super fresh. The shrimp on the side was a boring presentation. The lamb shishkabob platter was a nice presentation but the lamb was not grilled. It was soft and not fatty at all but again, so tasteless. Not for me.

This place is pretty great. It's located within some sort of living space with "suites" but unclear if it's a hotel or not. The place feels modern with an outdoor patio, greenery, and wooden studs supporting the frame.The service was good. Timely with water and food. Not much else to say.I was here for the dinela event and so I ordered the scallop crudo as an appetizer, the filet mignon lomo saltado entree, and the creme brulee dessert.The scallop appetizer was excellent with a spicy green salsa and jalapeño slice that complimented the fresh scallop, mint, and cucumber. The avocado didn't pack too much of a punch, but the combination of spicy with a bit of refreshing minty scallop was excellent.The filet mignon lomo saltado was great too. The steak was very tender and the sauce seeped into the rice well. The fries were crispy as slightly damp fries could be and the onion and tomato mixture was good. The only qualm I have is that the flavor profile comes off a bit salty. A little more kick of lime or mint would freshen it up nicely.The creme brulee is a standard one with a nice crispy top with berries and mint. No notes, this is just delicious since I'm biased towards dessert. Fruit and mint accompany the sugary innards of the brulee well.A fantastic experience all in all. Something worth checking out if you're in the area.

WOW! This is a true hidden gem..The crispy chilies telleno was magnificent My barometer for judging a restaurant is a chilies relleno. The menue is true fusion and such a feast for the senses.I will be going back again and again.P.S. The staff couldn't be any better, warm, welcoming and happy to assist with menus guidance.

Had dinner here after the grand opening of the new CinemaWest Beach Cities movie complex featuring various technologies including Dolby Atmos sound system in their auditorium 1.My friend ordered the filet mignon lomo saltado and I ordered the chimichurri steak frite. Both were well executed. As a starter we tried the scallop "aguachile". I've never had it and my friend said let's try it. Don't know what to make of it. The plating had 5 "shells" each with a slice of scallop, two raw jalapeños slices, cilantro and a small piece of avocado. No cucumbers or serranos as advertised in the menu. The juice that came with it had traditional flavors you would expect from a ceviche. Looking forward to another meal here without the scallop aguachile. Oh and thanks Troy for the great service.
