Nouveau Bar & Grill

Great atmosphere. Great food. try the seafood and grits. Brittany crushed it from beginning to end! Will be back!

I was probably one of the first people to review this restaurant when it opened... We came during "peak hours" and the restaurant was empty. Nonetheless, it was a bad experience...In 3 years, this place has really fallen off.... Slow service, Obnoxious servers. Bad drinks.Yall need to fix it...ASAP. It's Downtown Jonesboro, the restaurant should be so much more! The only plus was that there was seating at the bar on a Saturday night...

Service was horrible because the waiter was working alone or so we thought until it was time to sing Happy Birthday then an entire staff appeared out of nowhere. Drinks were okay. Biscuit with honey tasted like it was cooked in dirty cooking oil, they served the dip with stale chips, and we waited for simple items like water. 0 out of 10 do not recommend.

We hopped on over to Nouveau for a spontaneous Valentine's Day lunch. Our goal was to be the first through the door when they opened at noon. We pretty much succeeded; there were two other parties of two who entered at the same time as us so we were seated fairly quickly. They were operating on a reservation system for the holiday, so all walk-ins had to be seated on the patio. Luckily the 2024 groundhogs predicted an early spring and it was good weather for being on a covered patio.The server brought out a special menu they were promoting for the holiday--dinner for two for $120 (unless you chose a premium entree and the price rises--see photo). We opted to use the QR code to check out the regular menu and both ordered an entree off the lunch menu. Here are the best things about the experience: (1) it's a black woman owned business so you get to support a woman owned and minority owned business at once. (2) the staff are friendly and welcoming and helpful (3) the servers are attentive. (4) the ambiance and design of the space is nice. There's a nice outdoor area and stage viewable from the patio where we learned there is live music in the warmer months.The food was okay. I wouldn't return just to eat any of what we had again but it was okay. It needed some seasoning so we requested salt for the table (both for the chicken wings and catfish filets). Here's what we thought of each dish:Chicken and waffles. Chicken needed seasoning and three wings was not enough. This meal wasn't filling enough and could benefit from a side. The waffle was okay.Catfish and grits. The star is the catfish; it was fried to perfection but it needed more seasoning. In terms of serving size, the fish is plentiful and a perfect amount. The grits did nothing for me. They had way too much going on and threatened to drown out the catfish flavor I love and wanted. I left most of my grits in the bowl and just ate my fish.I'd come back here for an event but wouldn't be looking to be wowed by the culinary experience. Finally, we noticed in the fine print that there is an 18% gratuity added for any bill higher than $50, not just for large parties. Just something to keep in mind. We were able to eat for a reasonable price and our bill didn't get that high.

First time visiting. The ambiance was nice. We enjoyed ourselves. I was extremely disappointed with description of the Ultimate Cajun Seafood and Grits vs what was actually received. If there was crabmeat in there it was transparent. We asked the server about it. We were told it was mixed in with the salmon. Why would it be mixed in with the salmon? To the point where you can't see it. Honestly, we only tasted the salmon and the shrimp of course because it was on top. Maybe there was a tsp of crab finely minced in with the salmon. The grits were extremely good. I'll definitely give them 5 stars for the grits But again, I am extremely disappointed in the $28 Ultimate Cajun Seafood and grits aka Cajun Salmon and shrimp grits.

I was visiting with family from out of town for a graduation. The ambiance was nice, and the service by sever Shan was immaculate. To start we had the spinach dip which was cheesy and delicious. For food I had the lamb chops with sautéed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. The lamb was delicious! Definitely recommend if you like lamb. Other meals ordered were the seafood dish in the glass and instead of grits a side of the garlic mashed potatoes and the other dish was the chicken and shrimp pasta minus the shrimp due to a shellfish allergy. Everyone enjoyed their meals.The price was a bit expensive but expected. I ordered a Mai Tai which was too sweet for my liking and my mom had the strawberry daiquiri which was good so we ended exchanging drinks. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice dinner. I recommend making a reservation because they can get pretty busy.

Had Amber birthday party here . Third time here .. the service and experience gets better everytime

I came to Atlanta to see friend and fellow Yelper, Yo G down in McDonough. She suggested we go here. It was an interesting drive to get here but once you see the area, it's really a cool place! The hostess was so sweet and gave us the option of inside our out. It was a nice evening so we took the patio.I started with the Holy Water, and can I say "Amen"! Sooooo good! I ordered the stuffed chicken breast, and though it did take a while, it was really good! I can see how the prep would take some time. Loved the rice and vegetables that came with! I also ordered a side of the mac n cheese, and their version was very tasty. Yo had the perfectly grilled baby lamb chops, which she gave me a taste....soooooo good!Our server was so sweet and came and checked in on us and apologized about the timing on the chicken. We really enjoyed our evening.

It's a whole Vibe up in there! The food was amazing!!!! The service was great! They did not disappoint, but its easy to run up a tab at this spot....... So prepare!

The food was beyond goodt! The drinks were great! We went on a Sunday Saturday for brunch and it was a whole vibe. We did have a reservation. The parking was generous as there was street parking as well as free parking in the parking lot behind the restaraunt. The staff was very friendly and explained everything on the menu as we had questions. I would definitely go back! See my pics & descriptions of what we ordered.
