Nomad is serving our signature Thanksgiving, roasting thighs and breasts separately to ensure it's a perfectly cooked Turkey, with natural gravy, fluffy mashed potatoes, vegetable side dishes, and dessert, for a grand Thanksgiving meal. $75 per person, plus drinks, tax and gratuity.

What began thirty years ago, as a four month traveling trip, culminated in what is today, a menu designed to take you to many cultures -- the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and Latin America -- tied together by what a meandering, somewhat adventurous backpacker -- a Nomad -- would want to eat.

Nomad Eatery celebrates vibrant dishes found all over these regions, respecting the indigenous flavors, and doing it all in a modern way.

Nomad includes a full bar, inventive cocktails, curated wine list, and features abundant seating including a fireplace and heated outdoor dining area.

Free self parking is available on the adjacent parking structure.

Ordered the chicken kabob plate and everything was delicious including the dips. Friend had the mussels and loved the coconut sauce. It was our birthdays so they waiter brought us a complimentary tiramisu even though we had ordered a chocolate souffle. Parking can't be easier and the waitstaff is lovely. Would definitely eat here again!

We chose Nomad for our girls' night and were happily surprised by the extended happy hour prices and choices! Our initial server was great, and the food was phenomenal! We had the charcuterie board, coconut shrimp, and ordered a second serving of the steamed mussels. Unfortunately, they only served a little bit of bread with the mussels and a few crostini with the charcuterie. And once our server had to return to the bar, the staff was not as attentive and somewhat rude. I'd go back for the food, but will make sure I sit at the bar for a better experience Considering how few establishments are left in that plaza, you'd think the staff would do everything they could to increase customer satisfaction

There seemed to be 2 servers tending to our table and we still waited over an hour before our food order was taken. We felt ignored after our drink orders were filled. The food was good and we definitely didn't feel rushed but, we were hungry and wish our food order would have been taken more promptly. It was hard to flag someone down as they kept waking the other direction, as if to avoid putting another order in the kitchen until they were ready...and they're weren't that busy.

In town for Billy Joel concert and went to Nomad for dinner based on excellent reviews we read. The food didn’t disappoint: Ceviche - great / Steak Frittes - flavorful / Chile Relleno - outstanding. Unfortunately our service experience didn’t match the food. Our table was initially handled by the bartender and he was very attentive. When the restaurant became busy he focused on his bartender duties and there was no apparent handoff of our table to the wait staff. Sporadic attention during the rest of our meal. Had to walk up to bar to order 2nd cocktails Had to request water refills Chocolate soufflé dessert (pre-order) never delivered Had to request our check It was a disappointing ending to an otherwise excellent meal.
