    My friend and I had a fantastic time here our server, Henry, was very knowledgeable about the menu and the pairings. We got the oxtail and the octopus both very delicious. Hopefully we can go back soon!

    Mitch was so pro; we love that about Nolia. The food was unique and interesting. It was the best Octopus dish we’ve ever had! Cool area of town, super cool vibe and cornbread and octopus done perfectly…excellent service…could not ask for anything more.

    Ambience is horrible. Folks next to us were loud. We waited 40 minutes to get our food then the Octopus was cold when brought to the table, and the oxtail was okay at best. The first bite was a salt bomb. A little pricey for how good the food actually is.

    Another wonderful night at Nolia. The food was fantastic. Especially the tuna and the pork belly with the corn bread. I did not care for either dessert.

    My husband and I were in town for a wedding and wanted to experience something different and Nolia Exceeded our expectations… from the time we walked in we were greeted like we were family. We sat at the chefs bar with 3 other people who we just met and we all quickly became friends😉… Food was very elegant as well as delicious (especially the cornbread). Loved the open kitchen concept. Then heading to the back there is a small bar which was a nice surprise. The bartender suggested a few places to go around OTR. We truly had a GREAT time and felt like a community. It is a must that you have to experience.

FAQs

For a special evening, try Nolia on Saturdays for the 1405 Chef Counter tasting; for a quieter meal, reviewers note early-dinner seatings can be calm and relaxed.

One family reported dining with two kids for lunch and enjoying kid-style items like tenders and fries, so families have dined here comfortably.

Some guests note generous sizes for particular dishes, the lamb neck was described as “huge” and enough for two, and diners have called the seared scallops and shrimp skewers notably large.

Yes, guests report gluten-free options: at least one diner who eats gluten-free called the skillet cornbread an outstanding gluten-free bite and said they felt the menu was safe for gluten-free dining; the kitchen has also accommodated pescatarian requests.

Yes, Nolia Kitchen is well suited to date night: the owner describes it as warm and inviting for special occasions, and many guests report anniversary and celebratory dinners there.

Nolia Kitchen tends to get especially packed during big local events like FC Cincinnati games, while some early-dinner seatings and quieter weeknights have felt intimate and calm.

Casual dress is the guide, comfortable, neat attire is appropriate, and many guests do dress up a bit for anniversaries and special evenings.

Nolia Kitchen feels warm and intimate with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work, exposed brick and warm lighting, and a personable, attentive team that makes evenings feel special.
