A fine-dining Mediterranean restaurant that couples the freshness of traditional Greek cuisine with a modern white-washed atmosphere. The walls are adorned with old black and white photos of Greece, a nod to our namesake, which is the origin of “nostalgia.” Our healthy menu has guaranteed returning customers and consists of daily fresh fish, popular lamb dishes, and several vegetarian selections. The Aegean-inspired airy ambiance makes Nostos a romantic choice for a date night; while our private room options make it ideal for special parties or corporate events.

My girlfriends took me to Nostos to celebrate my recent engagement. The experience was disappointing, and not what I have experienced previously at Nostos. Our waiter didn’t seem to understand food service. He brought a food item we decided against while ordering and asked him not to bring. When it showed up cold, we asked him to just take it back (because we didn’t actually order it) but another one appeared. Then, he opened another bottle of champagne to pour one additional glass. Had he informed us that it would require opening a whole new bottle, we would have ordered one glass. I can understand one mistake, but this was a mess. I left my celebration feeling bad that my girlfriends had to pay for two unintended items on the bill. I will think twice about returning.

This was Christmas Eve and although the restaurant was very busy, the service and food was excellent. This restaurant really knows how to cook and prepare fish. The Rockfish and Dorado were perfectly cooked and flavorful. One of these days we will have to order a more traditional greek offering, but those fish dishes are so good!!!!! We even had a pretty decent Greek Chardonnay. Not Napa, but paired well with the food.

The food is ok, I hoped to see more vegetarian dish. The waiter was friendly but the others service are too rude to take out the food without say excuse when we didn’t finish the meal. The orange cake (Portokalopita) was better than what I had in Greece, 10 out of 10!

Main dining room was a bit crowded and noisy, so we moved to the bar area. Wonderful service and great value for the food - overall a nice experience.
