Best Cocktail Bars in Nashotah

Nakama is that rare restaurant that pulls off a bold concept without feeling pretentious. The Japanese-meets-Puerto Rican menu packs tons of ingredients and cultural influences into every dish, but the execution is so delicate and balanced that it just works. It feels deeply personal rather than over-engineered. ​The vinyl-spinning listening bar vibe is trendy yet genuine, and the biggest surprise? Even with a full house, the room stayed remarkably quiet and intimate, perfect for conversation. Add flawless service, and it's a 10/10. We will definitely be back.

Such an experience for the senses! The art in everything abounded with finery. Creative uses of textiles in the decor added so much to the experience. Things never seen, display a level of sophistication not seen in this area. The delivery of servings made a theatrical presentation as each plate arrived! The custom dinnerware and serveware made a lovely impression of distinction. The Ozaki A5 Tenderloin was so wonderful. Prepared to perfection and added with the Wild Mushroom Medley paired so well. The flight of Gelato included a Hazelnut so rich, it was gone in a jiffy. I loved the service. They each gave us witty banter and were very knowledgeable help with the menu. Bravo!

Went for brunch and food was delicious! Prices were reasonable. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely go back.

The food was fantastic as was the service. We made a reservation a couple hours before a belated birthday lunch, and they unexpectedly presented a birthday card signed by staff members! Parking was easy, the seating was comfortable and cozy, and the ambience was nice. I’m looking forward to returning when it’s warm enough to try sitting outside by the water.

Manhattan and martini were both very good. Fish fry and burger were both excellent and would order again. Great service,polite and attentive without too much attention.
