It's not all too often the hype of a sequel lives up to the expectation. Sadly this is the case with Nyood (pronounced Nude). I had high hopes based on my experience with Blowfish and Kultura, other restaurants by the same team of owners. They created an amazing space filled with unique lighting, funky furniture and in a hip part of town but the foody in me just wasn't satisfied. The tappas style menu didn't have enough variety to intrigue everyone at my table of 6. Some plates were over the top delicious (as you would expect from Blowfish or Kultura) while others were simply bland. The presentation was fun as each of the dishes came out on an artistic platter. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and all of the staff had a great buzz. Our waitress suggested a great bottle of wine, that was at a lower price point than most (I love it when good recommendation isn't directly related to the price) Overall, if I didn't have such high expectations my rating probably would have been better. Hopefully with time, they can elevate their menu to that of their other successful restaurants. I would give them another chance, perhaps when their new menu comes out in the fall.
