| - I saw that the reviews of Nosh was either really promising, or really negative. I decided to see for myself, and to my surprise I understood why this separation in partisanship is.
My attempt to walk in unbiased was fairly successful. I felt that the ambiance was nice and cozy. The menu was limited and not as innovative as I had expected. beer and wine selection seems fair, and I did have my sample of some interesting brews over my party's visit.
The happy hour\
Do not waste your time hasting to fit the window, because if you do you may partake in their happy hour deals. These are a crock! I had three:
The fancy rice ball - wasn't good (others in party did like it).
Deep fried artichoke - exactly what it sounds like, and pointless.
Shrimp cocktail - waste of dishes.
The food\
We had several orders of different samples of the bruschetta. Not special, not bad.
The Charcuterie Cheese Board. Not impressive.
The Nosh. I expected the namesake of the establishment to be good, edgy and/or esperimental. I was wrong.
Dessert. Seriously and remarkably unimpressive. (Nutella on toast is breakfast in Germany)
Sentence\
I had a great time here. The service from the door on is fine. The food was overall a disappointment, but the beer selection is fair. The ambiance is nice and I like how it is decorated and everything.
People that come here for an escape, might get what they came for and thus give this place a high rating. I don't blame them, because that's how I feel. But if you come and believe that an establishment that call themselves Gastropub and let the limelight shine down on Chef Stacey - I become far from impressed.
I want to like Nosh. I want to like it a lot. If it was more pub and less Castro, I would have just written it off as that. Now I cannot, due to the fact that the proportions are the very opposite. Chef Stacey I want to be impressed, but I was let down. If there is one think I can be a dilettante connoisseur on, its pub food. I will come back, but only to Nosh the Pub.
