| - Finally made it to Nosh yesterday, and glad that I did. It's a small place, only 7 or 8 tables, and a couple of seats at a counter toward the back. The inside decor is modern, with a few trendy art pieces adorning the walls. Service was friendly enough, and the menu was eclectic. I was having a tough time deciding between the chicken salad sandwich and the beet salad. Fortunately, I discovered that they had a half salad/half sandwich deal, so I was able to sample both.
The salad was great - a nice blend of sweet and slightly tart, with some great textures. The sandwich was good too, a tad less sweet than I am used to, but the grapes and dried cherries helped it along. The bread it was served on was (I think) a multigrain or wheat bread. It was good, but It was a bit dry when grilled.
My friend had the reuben - it looked and tasted delicious (he let me try a small bite).It was a good portion of meat packed into butter-grilled sourdough bread. He felt the sauerkraut tasted a bit too sour (he's used to rinsing it), I thought it was fine.
It came with a side of fresh cut chips. They were good, but the portion was overly skimpy (pieced together, it would have made maybe 5 whole chips) and they weren't much different from what you would get from a bag of "kettle cooked" chips. I would not have known the difference. The small pile of sweet pickle chips that they make there - delicious! I'm not that crazy about sweet pickles, but these could entice me to purchase a jar if sold that way.
All in all, it was a good lunch, and my friend and I both said we would go back. The food prices felt reasonable for good quality food. Oddly, drinks seemed pricey for a small cafe- 4.50 for 2 (an iced tea and a coke). Definitely will recommend this place to friends though!
