| - We really enjoyed this spot!!
Finally made my way to Nomé after hearing so many good things and I was certainly not disappointed!
I made a reservation a week in advance for a Wednesday night so we can enjoy the $1 oysters, and upon arriving was seated promptly. We were notified of the two hour seating limit, which I understood, but I still found it to be a bit off-putting to be told that as soon as I sat down. The hostess was a bit cold but our waitress was really sweet.
We ordered a bunch of oysters, the sliders and the spicy short ribs, everything was really delicious, I can understand why people rave about the food, it's really great. The sliders were hearty and meaty and they had a nice mix of textures, the short ribs were spicy and flavourful, and the oysters were fresh and really beautiful; my favourite part of the experience for sure. I especially loved all the sauces they offered with them.
The restaurant is really cool and hip, it's a small place so space is a bit limited, tables are quite close together, but there are still spots for larger groups. There's an upstairs level as well and I see that they have a patio upstairs as well which I think would be a great place for the warmer months.
The reason for the 4 stars as opposed to 5 were just a few minor details. The first, as previously mentioned, is the seemingly strict time limit. We were out in under an hour or so but the table next to us was starting to get warned that their time was almost up and were given a "last call" to order. I just don't find that conducive to a relaxing dining atmosphere. I guess for their special oyster nights, they want people in and out but I still think it's a strange thing to do to customers. The second thing I found odd was that they offered sparkling or flat water, flat water for $3 which gives you unlimited refills. We asked for tap water which was free but it wasn't offered as a choice so maybe unknowing people might not know that it's an option. They said that they have a special water filtration system which is why they charge for it. Seems like a weird money-grab to me.
Otherwise I'd love to come back with a group of friends, it's a fun place with great food and a cool atmosphere. It can definitely get pricey if you're ordering drinks and lots of food, I'd say have dinner beforehand, and then come here for oysters, snacks and drinks!
