Enjoy exceptional service and a friendly atmosphere at Nook. It's a wonderful spot for enjoying a delicious meal while catching up with old acquaintances over lunch. Nook is located just south of the Prima County Public Library on East Congress Street. It opened in 2015 and has become a trendy eatery that serves up New American cuisine. Owners Nikki and Matt Thompson along with Todd Anderson are fellow Tucsonans who love their community. Local artists have work showcased throughout this contemporary restaurant. Nook also prides itself on serving up locally sourced food. Try the Godfather Benedict with prosciutto, arugula, poached egg hollandaise and balsamic drizzle for breakfast, or come down during lunch for a green corn tamale pie with cabbage salad. It offers take-out service and is open for breakfast and lunch during the week. This restaurant also serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

    Food and service are always outstanding; however, the noise level makes conversation across the table a challenge.

    We thoroughly enjoyed Bata. The food was an eclectic and seasonal mix of farm to table innovation. The food was fresh, flavorful and imaginative. We chose our own mixture from the various courses. We stated with apps of the beef & pork bites , ( which were delicious and moist meatballs with a fantastic pumpkin miso sauce), and a luscious mushroon skewer. We moved on to the malawach, a wonderful Mediterranean flatbread with a labneh egg yolk and honey dip. It was special. We tore and dipped until it was gone! There was a smoked turnip dish that served as a really delicious warm, smoky salad course. Our entrees were pork loin and cod. Both proteins were well prepared while retaining just the right amount of moisture with complimentary vegetable accompaniments. We experienced various preparations of turnips in just about every dish. All were delicious. Dessert was the sorbet and chocolate cake. One was as light and refreshing as the other was rich and decadent. Our server, Roxana B. was delightful, personable and menu knowledgeable. She made great, helpful suggestions. The team was spot on with maintaining perfect timing on flow of courses and clearing and replacing plates and flatware. The restaurant had great ambience and we were pleased to have the chance to experience it on our visit to Tucson.
