| - Hi there! Allow me to take you on a salvatious journey to a land of deliciousness and wonder. Imagine a day where there tempature allows you to sit outside and enjoy a cool breeze without being chilly and the patio atmosphere that sheilds you from the cars even though you are smack in the middle of Selwyn Ave. Such a place is Nolan's.
Interior - Upscale and classy if you feel like going that way. Not so classy that you need a coat and tie but just enough to make it a 'night out' type of night if you want that. We sat down at the bar to fuel up on some beer and luckily, they had multiple local brews on tap. 2-3 NoDa beers and 1-2 of something else. Bad penny, i think. But we couldnt pass up on the outside area and heading to our patio spot.
Patio - Plenty of shade, fireplace, big tables and view of the surrounding neighborhood (slight view of the parking lot). I couldn't ask for more or for better weather.
Service - Our waiter was very polite and patient with us as we were in the mood to ask questions and learn about the menu. He didnt mind. We like to drink, too. We sat there from 630pm to 9pm and never felt rushed. Perfect.
Food - All I have to say is PBT! P. B. T. Pork Belly Taco is #1 on the menu. We tried the mussels, bacon wrapped dates, Chicken Souvlaki, Zucchini Chips. All were cooked up perfectly and savory to the last morsel. But nothing beat those PBTs. Two funny things to add. One, everything that I listed above are appetizers. They were so good that, even though we planned to get entrees, we never made it that far because we kept ordering apps. Two, my friend, Matty Schallz, said that the two orders of PBTs that we got were only half as good as he remembered because they were a little crispier than usual. WHAT! If those were the bad ones, I need to go back for round 2!!
Who's coming with me!? -ENJOY!
-Ian M.
