This delightful bistro looks like not so much outside, but enter, and you'll encounter a warm and friend place with absolutely terrific food and wonderful, chill ambiance. We ordered the macaroni and cheese and the meat loaf and they were both wonderful. The wine -- suggested by the server, who let us taste them -- was great and the lava cake, a poem. A completely delightful place to eat dinner. Strongly recommend.
I recently dined at my favorite restaurant and ordered the Salad Bowl with a side of Coho Salmon. Upon receiving the dish, I immediately realized that the salmon was farmed, despite being told by the server that it was wild-caught. As a commercial salmon fisherman for the past 30 years, I have extensive knowledge and experience with Coho Salmon and can easily distinguish between wild and farmed fish. I was disappointed that the server provided false information about the source of the fish. However, the salad was still delicious overall. If you are looking for wild caught salmon in Florence, there are a few restaurants that proudly serve it such as Waterfront Depot and 1285 Restro Bar that I highly recommend. I would recommend Nosh, because of their healthy options but advise others to ask about the source of the fish before ordering and to be cautious about the servers' information. What’s ironic about this, is why would a restaurant of this caliber that serves healthy food be willing to sacrifice their customers health and also deceive them and serve cheap farm salmon? Truthfully, I will be warning all my salmon loving friends, because friends don’t let friends eat farmed salmon.
Gourmets will love the fine dining quality in a casual setting. As a local I usually choose this place when I’m in the mood for a really nice meal but for visiting gourmets this place is a Florence find. Full bar with local craft beers on tap. Service is excellent.
The Mac and cheese here is beyond belief, but unfortunately on the day we visited they hadn't gotten a crew delivery...had to "settle" for the pot roast which was magnificent. Nice friendly place with great food. Highly recommended.
Really hoped to get into the 1st of 2nd tripadvisor eateries. but they are still so busy this fall that they weren't even taking reservations and we were starving. We went into Restobar where I had eaten before. But it was Saturday night and it was super noisy. So we went next door to NOSH. What a pleasant surprise. It's a small location directly across from the Waterfront Depot. NOSH focuses on Natural, Organic, Sustainable, Healthy. Although they have a full bar....LOL. So maybe the H is HAPPY! They didn't have their "signature" mac-n-cheese because of cheese supply issues. I had the halibut fishnchips, my partner had the rockfish fishnchips. The halibut cost more, but I got 3 peices. My co-diner only got 2 pieces of rockfish. Normally rockfish is cheaper than halibut on the coast. The chips were real russet potatoes that were french fries and WONDERFUL. Not processed taters but real tater fries. THE BEST PART WAS THE SAUCE SERVED WITH OUR MEALS. IT'S THEIR VERSION OF TARTER, BUT SO FRICKIN GOOD. Lighter than regular tarter but so much more flavorful. I ASKED FOR MORE as we used it for the fish and the chips!!!!! We didn't have room for dessert ,,,but apparently they have wonderful cheesecake. OUR SERVICE WAS WONDERFUL. So I don't understand previous complaints. I recommend NOSH if you can't get into the #1 or #2 places in Florence. we each had a drink and a dinner for $55 + tip. There isn't a view of anything. But if you don't care about the view, you just want good food, service, quiet atmosphere.....this is a great place.
