This is a really cool and eclectic restaurant. The decor is great. Very different and they succeed in making it warm and inviting. There are two bars and it's deceptively very large space. The entrance is on the second floor up some stairs. The service is good. There are a lot of servers. Sometimes it's too dark and it's hard to get their attention bc of the lighting but once you do, they are extremely attentive. The food was incredible. Flavorful and as described. We went with a party of 8, almost everyone got something a little different but everyone loved their meal. I would definitely go back. read more

Food was very good but this restaurant made me feel unsafe. I picked up three steak frites and sides the other night , and as a handicapped person with a torn pelvis in recovery ; I wouldn't think I'd have to wear my handicap on my forehead but I guess here you do. The men party with their wives or girlfriends not sure. Shoved me at the exit , and when I asked nicely to please let me leave they stared howling and yelling at me and calling me classless after I called them rude. This is extremely dangerous and because of this I almost fell down the staircase. Westport is an entitled place with rude patrons almost at every restaurant. Because of this I would never eat here or pick up from here again, as handicap accessibility isn't your thing ; and after being severely injured and having to live life differently I won't give money to establishments that don't protect their patrons from unruly whacky people and inaccessible exits. read more

Ambience, drinks, and food were amazing, but the service completely ruined the experience. Our server was rude, unprofessional, and acted like he didn't want to be there. He mumbled, avoided eye contact, ignored us for long stretches, and prioritized other tables while our drinks sat empty. He dropped the check before we were finished, cutting me off from ordering another drink, and shoved the card reader at me for the tip. For the prices here, that kind of treatment is unacceptable. Everything else was great, but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Hands down, Nomade is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The food is consistently delicious, the cocktails never miss, and the atmosphere is always on point. It's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. There isn't a single item on the menu that I haven't liked! Service is excellent as well. read more

Outstanding ! Facility, drinks, food and service were best in Fairfield county. Thank you for an incredible night out. Kudos to Angel .

My lunch was delicious and my dessert was even better. Once visit and I enjoyed it very much. The service was good even when it was crowded. Nice place with a nice menu. I will return for the chocolate mousse. read more

Newcomer to Westport scene Nomade brings Mediterranean fusion vibe. The decor is inviting with bleached wood tables, cozy leather couches sort of like a Greek taverna come Peruvian hacienda. 2 bars and ample seating, some bar stool style bring out a casual yet sophisticated vibe. Menu has lots of familiar brunch dishes as well full on dinner entrees. We stopped by for drinks on late afternoon Sunday and shared a fried calamari (customized from salad with calamari) which was tasty. Will be back to try more of the menu as other brunch fair looked quite appetizing! read more

Nomade - Bar - Mediterranean Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Was excited as this was my first time trying this restaurant. Great ambience, eclectic menu, bustling Saturday night scene, but the entire dinner, which was expensive, felt very RUSHED. It was clear they wanted the table so they could combine to sit a larger party (asked us to put in entrees before anyone had even looked at dinner menu and then hovered so there was pressure to order). Then before our desserts were delivered, they asked us to move to another table. I even mentioned feeling rushed to the waiter, but he ignored the comment. Might try again, but not on a Saturday night. Food was just ok. read more

First time here and it didn't disappoint. The food was good. I had the shrimp and grits. The grits very flavorful and the shrimp perfectly cooked but a bit bland in seasoning. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside. Just a note it's LOUD inside. This is not a place for you to have deep conversations. The vibe is chill with a relatively young crowd. We went on a Friday night and the place turned into sort of a club. The music was shockingly good for a Westport crowd... I'm just saying lol. I'd definitely come back to try their brunch. read more

Whether you are looking for a happy hour spot with phenomenal cocktails or a spot for a dinner date & night out with friends, Nomade is the place to go. With 3 areas fitting every ambiance type one may look for, there is an experience for everyone. The menu offers diverse options, and the food is tasty. Id recommend the Foam Me cocktail, or seek a custom drink from one of the mixologists. The appetizers are very tasty as well, but dont forget the chocolate Beignets which are, by far, the highlight of the menu! read more

Very cool and interesting spot with rooms offsetting each other which kept the noise down. Bars in front and back to grab a cocktail beforehand. For apps i HIGHLY recommend the Spicy Tuna, Charred octopus and the home made butter for bread. Sauces for the Oysters were on point but the Oysters were just ok, not over the top like the rest. Cocktails and wine menu had lots to offer the varied palates we brought with us. Onece we were told we could substitute the Organic mushroom medley for french fries, we all 4 got the Wagyu steak and each was cooked to perfection. The Au Poivre sauce was exceptional! read more

Had a lovely time at Nomade. The food was good, not great. The bread basket was delicious with the pesto butter they include. The crispy rice and the octopus dish were decent. The avocado with the crispy rice tasted old and the fish was a little funky. If you're going to get the crispy rice I would go for the lobster option. The octopus dish was more sausage and potatoes than octopus. I just didn't feel those flavors worked well together. The price point was what you would expect for Westport. However I will definitely come back to give some more dishes a try and change my review accordingly. read more

We had a great time... My friends had been long time patrons of Tavern on Main, it's predecessor... I think they've done a great job of "opening up" the place. Service was good and the food was excellent. We'll be back.. read more

My Husband, father and I came to this restaurant for the first time yesterday and we are so glad we did! The food, drinks, ambiance and service were all next level and we are looking forward to returning for dinner. We enjoyed the Caesar and goat cheese salads, the banana bread and fried Brie appetizers, the Croque Madame (with two eggs) and the fish & chips. The drinks were very well mixed and delicious and we felt really well taken care of by all of the staff! Truly a five star experience all around! read more

Hi! I just HAD to leave a message about how wonderful Lauren is at Nomade in Westport. My family and I just moved from Mystic, Ct and Lauren was not only friendly, but went above and beyond with making sure we were comfortable, perfectly made drinks and food was out so promptly I felt like a Hollywood celebrity. The only thing that surpasses her hospitality was her personality!! We WILL BE BACK OFTEN! read more

I would definitely recommend everybody come here at least once. The decor and ambience of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It feels like you are in a bohemian paradise. However, the food was just OK. I ordered the lamb and the lamb was lacking. There was barely any meat on the rack of lamb. However, the flavors were pretty OK. Desserts were where it was at!!! it was our birthday. We ordered the crème brûlée and the chocolate brownie/cake. They were both wonderful. Services great everybody was super friendly. I'm glad I went, but I don't think I would go again. read more

I've been here many times for dinner and it's always wonderful. But today, I went during the day to do some work on my laptop and I felt very welcomed despite not indulging in the menu. Katherine and the staff were lovely. Thankful I can add a new WFH spot to my list read more

The waiters were nice. The food superb. However the hostess was nasty and disrespectful. She asked us "what do you want? " in a nasty, kind of racist undertone. I will NOT go back, even though the food was good. I was so mad. read more

Crafted drinks brought to a higher level. Absolutely amazing!! We also had the fried Brie with fig marmalade and pistachios. The highlight was the drinks. Will be back!!! read more

I really liked the ambiance of this place, gives Tulum vibes with the decor. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating I would say a solid 5 star for service read more

The interior design and overall thesis fits the surrounding area significantly better than Tavern on Main ever did but some of the choices feel forced. We arrived somewhat late, I don't recall exactly when but it was at an hour at which the kitchen was still open and serving a limited bar menu (totally fine). The bar was standing room only and incongruously club like. They kindly allowed us a table in the dining room but we were on our own for going up to the bar and ordering. This honestly had minimal negative impact on our experience but logistically, if you're going to carry on a late night menu and offer seats in the dining room, you should probably keep on a single server. I am aware of the general concept of world elements on the menu, the bar menu we ordered from was significantly more focused. I can't speak to the other culturally influenced dishes but we enjoyed the straightforward items we had-- a nicely done chicken liver mousse, bistro fries, a raw tuna tostada something or other and a vegetable dish. Cocktails were good. I had something with purple chicha in it. All in all, I feel this place is deserving of a second pass under more favorable conditions. read more

Good small plates. Some of the mains were really lacking. Super uninspired flavors. Kinda bizarre since the vibe and some of the starters are so good and it seems like they'd knock anything they do out of the park. I think they're trying to do too much and then don't do anything great. The crispy rice dishes were really good - both the tuna and avocado. Fish was ok, Moroccan chicken was bland. Other chicken dish was bad. Pita was not very good. Bummer since I really wanted to like this place. read more

First time here. Started off strong-water glasses filled and bread/butter? Placed on table. About 15 mins later someone came up and asked us if we wanted to order drinks. No introduction. No comments about the menu. We ordered drinks and he bought them to us. Nothing else was said. About 20 mins later we realize at this point we don't really have a waiter. We asked staff walking by if we can order and he said our waiter will be right with us. At that point drink guy who I later found out is the assistant manager (Danny) came back and inquired about our order. It came and we ate. As I'm finishing up my last bite he asks us if everything is fine sir...shouldn't you have asked that in the beginning of the meal or even the middle? Maybe I'm asking for too much? It was not busy. Nice ambiance. Snobby Westport people which is expected, but because of the layout and people being intentionally loud...we heard parts of conversations that weren't the nicest toward certain racial groups. The staff can't help what ppl say but at least tell them that's inappropriate maybe? Idk. Overall, I won't be back. If I'm paying $100+ for 1 alcoholic beverage, 1 frozen non alcoholic beverage and two simple entrees i want good service. Not to be ignored for a majority of my time there and have to ask "can we order?" Treat all patrons the same. read more

Cool atmosphere, sitting on 2nd floor and modern interior. Excellent drinks and apps were really good. Escargot and other apps were well done. Service was pretty good, especially given it was a Friday night. But the main dishes were disappointing. My pork chop was very dry. My wife's halibut was ok but needed a bit of salt and pepper to make it better. The couple we were with weren't overly impressed with their main dishes. Limited dessert menu. As another reviewer mentioned, if you're looking for ambience, bar, drinks & apps, this may be the place for you. Otherwise, you can do better elsewhere. read more

First time here and loved it. Beautifully decorated interior with multiple hanging basket lights. There are two bars: one inside and one "outside". The outside one is enclosed under a glass atrium actually but it feels like you're outside. Drinks are generous, staff is friendly and happy. Owner is engaged and very nice. Food is good, vibe is great. What more could you ask for? Put Nomade on your Westport bucket list. read more

Wife and I tried Nômade. Three stars feels right. Nice multi room ambiance. Menu is obviously all over the place cuisine wise. Not fusion but just a sampling of classic dishes across Peru Morocco France Spain etc. starters of hamachi on crispy rice - too mushy, French onion soup special - the standout of the night, perfectly executed five stars, and then fried Brie - their take on a mozzerela stick alternative but I would have preferred baked brie. The jam and pistachio accoutrement was a nice touch. Entrees were the cavatelli special and the chicken pimenton classic Spanish dish. The chicken was hard to cut with the butter knife good flavor overall and the fettuccine was a nice foil to the cherry pepper sauce but this pimenton dish is much much better at Barcelona restaurant. It occurred to me that their concept didn't work to just provide variety into these different cuisines without either the dishes being excellent versions or interpreted somehow. This place felt like they're just pushing bistro food done in a juvenile way. I also didn't think this was worth $142 pre tip read more

Very strange experience, HORRIBLE hostess last night. I was so excited to try this place but came away feeling offended and very "meh" about the food overall. The location is wonderful and the menu looked very appealing. I called yesterday around 4:30 to ask if there was any availability for a table for 4. The hostess told me no, they were fully booked. I asked about the possibility of walking in and was told she couldn't say that we could have a table by the time we got there. I told her, "we are downtown and happen to be right outside. Is there anything available right now?" She literally HUNG UP ON ME. When we got inside, I told her that I've never been hung up on by a hostess before and she said there were six people ahead of me and she was very busy. For the record, the restaurant was completely empty except for 1 table. She told us repeatedly we could only stay until 6pm because the table was reserved. We heard this multiple times (and we were out by 5:30) but didn't need to be told this more than once, we understood and would have ordered even faster if our waitress had been more attentive. Food: the fried Brie was actually delicious, escargot was ok- it's much better at Rive on Riverside Ave. The entrees were terrible, they sounded amazing but the execution was pretty awful. I had the short ribs with pappardelle and the pasta was just a pile of goo that was stuck together, almost inedible. The short ribs were dry and the sauce was bland. It's pretty hard to screw up something that's normally divine. I loved the ambiance and with such a great menu, I would have been willing to give it another try but after the hostess being so rude, I won't be back. read more

Nomade - Entrees- bland and poorly executed - Mediterranean Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Good apps, worse main. Served a poorly cooked steak, somewhat worse cut (though au poivre sauce was fine), with butter knives.

Even Nomads have a favorite place to go out and eat!! Wow, what a beautiful spot. They took some time to reconstruct the old Tavern on Main and it shows. A bigger indoor bar and amazing outdoor bar, much more open dining room, and light colors, it's really stunning. You really have to see it to believe it. Let's be clear, the restaurant just opened so it's still smoothing some things out but all signs point to Nomade being a winner in a great location in downtown Westport. You must check out the outdoor (covered bar). It's amazing ( phot added). Attentive and friendly, great place to start an afternoon or evening. Interesting menu and the food was good, we started with tapas-like starters that were great to share. We did not see a dedicated bartender yet and we all agreed (there were four of us) that it showed a bit. Our next visit this week saw both bars well staffed by talented bartenders. There is some great seating in the indoor bar now too, we plan to check that out on our next visit. Management is great, a veteran known around Westport and beyond; Nomade is in good hands. Time to go visit this new place in Westport and help them build the 4 to 5-star restaurant it has all the markings of becoming. I know I'll be back and I look forward to upgrading this review with each visit (I'll start them at 4 stars* but with an asterix) they are new so keep checking back for updates. Strongly suggest reservations. NOTE: This is a brand-new launch. Support our local efforts to serve the community and go try Nomade. If you have suggestions to improve service, talk to the manager and help them settle in. read more

They seriously need to get their act together. Our food took forever, and when an appetizer finally came, it literally fell onto the table--and it looked like they just picked it back up and served it to us again. The steak frites were a disaster: their "medium-well" came out burnt, dry, leathery, and flavorless. They even mixed up my medium with my friend's order of "medium-well". To top it off, there were bees and flies swarming around our food the entire time. Absolutely unacceptable. Zero stars if I could. Never coming back. read more

Bad service and food. Ambiance is nice. Overrated and would opt to go to other spots in town!

Our waiter Carlos provided very poor service. I called today to ensure a member of our party would receive a candle for her birthday and after ordering a dessert, we were unable to find our waiter. I asked one of the busers to retrieve the waiter. I ordered the seafood pasta and the pasta was hard and flavorless. We left 15% tip and our waiter came over to the table and said we should leave additional tip. (After 15% was generous considering our experience). We will not be returning and will recommend others to avoid this spot. read more

Fantastic food! Loved the vibe and decor was beautiful! We were late for our reservation due to the traffic and rain but the restaurant was very understanding. We had mussels, escargots, avocado truffle crudo, seafood fettuccine, and steak frites with some drinks. Everything was delicious and very filling! Great experience! read more

I'd never been to Nomade and set a reservation for my Birthday brunch and I am so happy I did. The ambiance, food, drinks and service were spot on! We were fortunate to have a corner spot in the front. With continued service ensuring our drinks and food were to our liking. I enjoyed the Nomarita and Black Pear while my girls opted for unlimited brunch cocktails. We shared oysters, avocado truffle crispy rice, hamachi on crispy rice and shrimp and grits. All were DELICIOUS. I had the spicy poke bowl, exactly as I was craving and so fresh. We ended it with birthday beignets. What a wonderful experience and CANT WAIT TO RETURN. read more

Got seated in the smallest space ever (for a table of four) we waited for an hour and a half for our food (3/4 of us ordered appetizers for entrees). Proceeded to not come back to check if we needed anything. Didn't refill our drinks. Was a nice ambiance and food was good but i would not come back here. read more

The food is very good, the waiters were very friendly, but the hostess was very rude the last few times we went we were served by the same hostess and I would have liked her to be kinder when she asked about the patio table she replied very rudely referring to the horrible weather and if she was sure to take the table downstairs. I wouldn't like to go back if someone is going to question which table I should choose when the restaurant is almost empty read more

Was my second time at Nomade last night and it did not disappoint. Last visit was for brunch so it was my first time for dinner. Had great drinks and delicious food. The escargot, tuna flatbread, and deviled eggs were amazing. Big shoutout to those homemade beignets. My gosh. Beautiful restaurant and excellent food. Will be back! read more
