| - NODO Junction is a restaurant I won't be going to again. When entering I was impressed by how busy it was. Normally a busy resturant is a good sign but as the night progressed, I'm convinced it was for other reasons. The most obvious was the lack of staff on the floor who appeared to be in the weeds. After ordering from the 2 menus they gave us for a table of 8, our drinks took over 20 minutes to come to the table, and over an hour for the main course to appear. If I wasn't with family I would have walked out.
Getting to and from the table was also challenging, as servers walked to quickly across the floor inevitably bumping into you.
If you want to sit across the table from an important person in your life and have a decent conversation, this is also not a good place to go. The music was so loud I had to talk at a volume that would be considered yelling any where else.
Now about the food, for a starter I had the carpaccio, the capaccio was the one thing I really did enjoy. It was beautifuly thin with a refreshing lemon zing served with lovely fried capers, and toasted pine nuts that gave the dish a pleasing texture. Unfortunately the pizza I had did not dance on my palate in the same way. The pizza had gorgonzola, caramelized onions and a cured meat, it was bland, there was little topping and mostly dough.
NODO is a NO GO!
