| - TL;DR: I love the $1 oysters on Tues/Wednesday. Other foods are alright, and make sure to reserve a spot cause it gets pretty packed. Also, the place is pretty loud and you'll have to talk quite loudly to be heard.
Nome is a favorite of mine for their $1 oysters on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The place gets pretty packed on these days, so expect for some wait if you're going at prime time or for a late night snack. The rest of their menu items aren't bad, and I would personally suggest to get the Tornado potatoe, and Japa Burgers. Even if you go on their $1 specials night, don't expect to get too full without ordering any other sides -- I, for one, usually only end up eating 14 oysters until I stop. Overall, it's a place with some good vibes and pretty good food.
1. Food (4/5)
All their food is cooked on order, and but does not take especially long. Their fish and oysters are always fresh, and you can see the chefs opening the oysters if you grab a bar seat. Their other menu items are pretty standard in quality, but I do recommend the Japa burgers and the tornado potatoe; both of which are one of my fav foods to get from Nome.
2. Service (3.5/5)
Their service isn't bad or anything, but it may take some effort to get the attention of the staff. I have ran into cases where it took them around 8 - 10min before I got my cheque, but to be fair, they were extremely busy at the time. No major concerns about their service, and it's pretty much what you would expect from anywhere. Food wait time isn't especially long either. Expect to wait around 15 - 20min on deal days.
3. Wait Time / Reservations (3/5)
If you plan on going for one of the deal nights, I recommend that you call in advance (usually the day of works) and just reserve a seat. If you don't, you might be expected to wait around 30min for a seat, and they might not be very good ones. So... just book!

Overall (3.5 - 4/5)
