| - My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch at Nosh and were very pleasantly surprised. She ordered the Heirloom Caprese sandwich while I got the El Cubano.
Both were, in one word, fantastic. My wife thought hers could use a tiny bit more Balsamic to bring out the flavors, but devoured the sandwich anyway. As for mine, I initially thought it could use something similar, but then I really started to taste the surprisingly simply-flavored pulled pork. I don't think I've ever had better, and I realized that masking that deliciously hearty flavor would do the sandwich a disservice.
We also split an order of fries. These were very tasty, but like many hand-cut fries they ended up somewhat limp and a bit greasy. We cleared the plate regardless, but I would have liked to have seen these take a second dip in the fryer.
The atmosphere isn't much to write home about; it's decorated in a fashion that is appropriate to its modern-bistro menu, which means it's not the warmest space. And like a previous reviewer, I feel like they could lose at least one of their deli cases and not be worse for wear. But it's also not the coldest restaurant I've eaten in, and it's clear that their service is (at least for now) primarily breakfast and lunch, which the decor suits.
I agree their hours are a bit odd. However, the last restaurant to occupy this space lasted maybe three months, so if taking it slow ensures Nosh will be around longer, I'm willing to work with their schedule. And yes, the location definitely leaves something to be desired. I feel like if this place opened downtown or in the First and Main plaza, it'd do much better business. But with the quality of food they're putting out now, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be able to upgrade in the future.
I will definitely be back for breakfast and lunch, and look forward to an opportunity to pick up one of their takeout dinners.
