   Started with craft cocktails and appetizers, Tongue Tied was the favorite and the Brusselsprouts were excellent. Moved onto salads Burrata and Caesar, both tasted fresh and light. Sampled 3 entrees all had great flavor. Will make this a regular dining experience!

   The French onion soup was fantastic. The portion sizes of the apps were odd. 2 huge risotto balls was a large app but the potato app was dinky. The soup bowls were only have 3/4 full. The pork belly was pretty fatty. The other food was pretty good.

   After having seen and read about NoBo Riverside for since seeing a show at the Alluvion a year or so ago, my wife and I finally made it to NoBo Riverside during Restaurant Week 2025 and we were glad we did. Our server was attentive and friendly and the meals were delicious. We will surely dine there again.

   First time checking NoBo out and we look forward to returning. I think it is a rising hidden gem. Parking is an issue. View is great. Food was very flavorful. Pacing from the kitchen was a little slow. Service was friendly and attentive to requests.

   Our dinner was very good but service was slow. We dined early and only a dozen patrons but still waited close to 15 minutes for our beverages. Good came out a little more timely. We will definitely go again

   The food was amazing, our waitress was attentive and enjoyable, the seating was a little uncomfortable for a time period longer than 30 minutes, we were seated on high chairs with minimal foot rest area, the host upon arrival acted as if we were interrupting them which was kind of off putting at first but the food made up for that. Will definitely give it another try soon, I will say that the house cocktails are all on the very sweet side so if you are someone who likes a less sweet cocktail then the house ones aren’t for you. Over all the food was wonderful and wait staff was attentive, the seating arrangements could use some work comfort wise, but the overall experience was positive

   Visited NoBo for first time as part of Restaurant Week; would highly recommend! Best French onion soup we’ve had in a long time! My husband had the pork belly and I had barramundi (fish), both were great. Excellent flavor profiles and presentation.

   I visited NoBo during restaurant week. The food was wonderful. I started with Black Garlic Arancini. The serving was generous and delicious. My entree was Baramundi, a fish I’d enjoyed before. It was a lovely presentation with a very light citrus sauce that enhanced but didn’t overwhelm the fish. I particularly enjoyed the snap peas served alongside. For dessert I chose the Espresso Panna Cotta. I love coffee flavored desserts, so it was an obvious choice for me. All in all, a great meal.

    An interesting new spot! We went for Valentine’s Day, and the dinner was really mixed in its quality. For the mid-high price, there are many restaurants in the city that provide a much more cohesive and thoughtfully executed menu, but this is also a new place so I’m hoping with time the quality will be more reflective of the cost.
