Best Restaurants for Foodies in Memorial Square

Outstanding specials, drinks were delicious. Service excellent. Love Frida, consistently well above average.

Perle Mesta is where you go when you want to feel fancy fancy. The experience was absolutely top tier, and Chef Black? That man thinks of EVERYTHING. From the perfectly plated dishes to the surprise anniversary letter, I half-expected him to show up and personally sing “Happy Anniversary” to us. The food wasn’t just delicious; it was so beautiful I had to pause and ask myself if I was cool enough to eat it. Spoiler: I’m not, but I did anyway. Now, this isn’t your “let’s grab dinner because we forgot to thaw the chicken” kind of spot—this is where you go to celebrate life’s BIG wins. Worth every penny. Chef Black, you’ve officially set the bar so high, my regular Tuesday night tacos are offended.

This is Jo, Paul's wife. Ended up one for dinner. Did the prefix menu with pork and the drink pairings. All of the food, and I mean everything, was delightful; unexpected complex flavors. The drink pairings were somewhat unconventional well suited. My only, dislike, was the desert wine, as it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Not sure how many others request, but it might be nice to have coffee or espresso available after the meal. The atmosphere is sparing; focus on the food and your dinner mates. Music was nice, but a tad too loud. I plan on bringing at least one "foodie", friend to Nonesuch. I don't consider myself a food snob or as having a very developed palate, however, I'm far enough along to be able to appreciate different, multifaceted, flavors. We eat with our ears, eyes, and noses, as well as our mouths. If you are looking to, "get your fill of grub in under 45 minutes", this may not be the place for you. If you like, "delightfully different", I can heartily recommend this place. My visit was most satisfactory. I know I'll be back!

We had a wonderful lunch with our kids and aunt. Cozy atmosphere and sweet staff.

We did the chefs tasting w/wine pairing and the whole experience was outstanding. Our waiter did an excellent job. He explained everything in detail, was on top of everything. Honestly his service level was what made the night memorable.
