Asian salad with shrimp
Janet R.

Service was great. Went for Brunch on a Saturday. We ordered the chicken tenders with fries, burger, and Asian Salad with shrimp. Every thing was delicious.

Great menu! Drinks and food, 10/10. My family ate here after my daughters undergraduate commencement service last month. The downstairs area gave cozy, yet upbeat vibes. The hostesses were friendly and our server was excellent. We had a party of 10. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. I had an Asian Crunch Salad and an Expresso Martini.

Slick bar area ;)

Too cool trendy Columbus beer bar off Broadway; Gots a friendly classy vibe as you walk in. V pleasant inviting interior, with smily welcoming staff. Gots all your classic beverages on menu, with a few house originals; the Bloody M. entrancing :) Waitstaff v energized and helpful. Certainly makin sure u takin care of. The Garlic Shrimp Salad killed it, was trying sumthin different fo dinner, and got really lucky; Got a side of the Brussels sprouts for fun, they ruled, v v original, crispy, juicy, and Tasty. May probably go for their Salmon Entrée next time; the look and aroma was unmissable. Made a new friend in Anna the mixologist; Can't wait to get back to Columbus next qtr.

Deviled eggs

Nonic is the best !! Great atmosphere, and the happy hour is incredible. Rooftop bar is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The deviled eggs during happy hour are 5 for $5!

Was passing through Columbus headed back to Atlanta and decided to stop by and try this company. The downstairs portion had a considerable wait, so we went to the rooftop area. Instant vibe upgrade. We were seated fairly quickly and our server was very nice. The menu was limited and I'm guessing because it was brunch. I decided to go with the old faithful of grits, eggs, and bacon. The meal came with breakfast potatoes and a biscuit. I'm a country boy, so I wound up making a sandwich with the biscuit. The flavor and novelty of the food( the jelly actually had preserves in it) was a pleasant surprise. It was so much food, I couldn't eat it all. But I was certainly happy with my experience. I'm looking forward to going back the next time I pass through. I think you should give it a try as well.

Later that Wednesday evening, as the restaurant settled into a softer, more intimate glow, we opted for the main dining room rather than the rooftop. The hostess was warm and efficient, seating us immediately. Our server approached with the quiet confidence of someone who knows her craft--she was direct, professional, and all business in the best possible way. Even as closing time drew near, she kept my glass refreshed without needing to be asked, a small but telling detail that spoke volumes about her attentiveness. The space itself strikes a pleasant semi-formal note--clean, polished, and respectful without veering into stuffy territory. Behind the bar, the bartender was meticulously wiping down every bottle, a quiet display of care that set a tone of genuine pride in the operation. We began with a dozen oysters: six raw and six char-grilled. The raw specimens were on the petite side for the price, yet delivered a clean, bright, and pleasantly saline flavor that let the oyster speak for itself. The char-grilled version arrived with a savory Parmesan crust that brought its own appealing character--rich, cheesy, and nicely caramelized in a way that felt unique rather than derivative. The crab dip, however, was a standout. Far superior to the often disappointing versions we've encountered elsewhere, this one tasted of genuine lump crab meat, folded into a properly cheesy, indulgent dip that avoided any unfortunate "buffalo" detours. Served with crisp crostini, each bite was balanced and deeply satisfying--an authentic crab dip done right. The Korean cheesesteak offered an excellent harmony of flavors: tender, well-seasoned meat beneath a luxurious blanket of melted cheese, punctuated by the bright, spicy kick of kimchi and the refreshing snap of pickles. It was delicious, though for the price, I wished for a more generous filling and a bit more heft to the sandwich overall. The mac & cheese arrived in a commendably generous portion, with a beautiful Parmesan crust on top. Visually appealing, the dish unfortunately fell a touch flat on the palate. The noodles were properly cooked and coated in a creamy sauce, yet it lacked the depth and seasoning one hopes for-- a pinch more salt and pepper would have elevated it considerably. The fish and chips presented a towering mound of fries that carried decent flavor but lacked the shattering crispness one craves. The real disappointment lay in the presentation of the fish: two fillets stacked atop one another, causing the steaming heat to turn the once-promising breading soggy and prone to sliding off. That said, the fish itself was excellent--flaky, moist, and delicately sweet with a lovely buttery quality. It was the unfortunate interaction between steam and crust that kept the dish from greatness. The roads were a little dense, so not necessarily my particular style, but I'm good. The butter that came with them was very unique to say the least. To drink, both beers arrived filled to the absolute brim and proved so enjoyable that I would gladly order them again without hesitation. Overall, the evening delivered solid, thoughtful plates in a well-run environment, with several bright spots that make a return visit tempting--particularly for those oysters and that excellent crab dip.

Voodoo Ranger

Haven't been back in a little while. Have normally enjoyed the food. Went to the rooftop bar and took me 25 minutes to get two drinks. Asked for a lager and was given a voodoo ranger IPA. Mildly infuriating after waiting and being ignored but it's alright I just ended up leaving. Good food though. Maybe just a bad day for service.

First off, I want to rave about our server and I wish I remembered her name, she has like reddish blonde hair I believe. She is on her game & fantastic, 5 star! Yes, thank you We had a work party of seven so we started with appetizers. First, was the bread basket & Everyone seemed to like it because it disappeared quickly. I don't get a vote because I didn't try . We had of course deviled eggs, which if you read my reviews, you know I'm a die hard ( they were good but not the best I've had & I've tried ALOT) and finally, we had the tofu and it was the best I went in for a third piece!!! I definitely give the tofu a 5 star. It was super unexpected. It was a little crunchy on the outside, the dipping sauce or what it's laying in it so yummy. Definitely try it give it a go we didn't and we're definitely happy about that decision!!! So onto the final reason of why I'm giving it a three I got the smash burger and the bun was super dry and it wasn't better than any other burger I've had before. It wasn't very juicy and left me wanting . I would probably say I liked the bacon (added for an additional cost) more than the actual burger! Bummer! I'm so bummed out that I didn't get a picture of the tofu, the deviled eggs or the bread basket, but I got pictures of my meal and one of my coworkers meal and she loved it, ate every bite I think!

I've gone to Nonic once before to get out the house; I saw they were doing a trivia night so I was excited to come play! I sat at the bar area upstairs and the service was okay the drinks were also alright the first time. I didn't get food the first time, but the second time around I wanted to go back for another trivia night grab food and a drink. I sat at the bar area upstairs and unfortunately was not greeted by the young man or young lady behind the bar. They saw I was sitting there but continued to converse amongst themselves and the other patrons at the end of the bar for 5-10 minutes. After no greeting or interaction of any kind, not even a menu, I decided to leave. The atmosphere is super nice and in a great location, but the customer service put a bad taste in my mouth unfortunately. I will not be returning.

Highly Favored cocktail
Kelsie M.

Firstly, thank you to our server! Staff was great :) But this was not the chicken and waffles we remembered . We came two years ago and loved it! This time around was pretty disappointing for the price. $100 (including tip) for the size of biscuits and dry chicken was disappointing. The pros are the cocktail was great, our server was awesome, and the atmosphere was very cool and we could tell they invested a lot in it. But the entree should've been able to hold it's own. We had greeaaat fried chicken at The Animal Farm yesterday and the hard truth is I wish we had gone there for brunch today.

Roasted chicken with veggies
Briyick S.

I went to Nonic when they were at their other location. I remember there was a couple of Asian dishes on the menus which they said would come back to the menu once they move locations. They opened the new location and the menu had switched up which was a bit disappointing ! I feel like there's not many options on the menu, not much versatility. The dishes that I did get were about 3-4/5. Their drinks are amazing. If you go upstairs there's a bar and the view is so nice.

Fried Snapper and Grits
Kiana B.

I must give a disclaimer that I absolutely walked into this place ready to be a hater because of the pricing when I had scouted the menu in advance. That being said... IT. WAS. AMAZING! The building has two floors, restaurant on bottom and rooftop bar on top, and each carries their own vibe. People were seen eating dinner on the first floor then heading up for more drinks upstairs, creating a constant cycle of people without feeling crowded or overly busy. I ordered the Mushroom Gnocchi and was absolutely floored by how well lemon juice and capers could pair with the rest of the dish. I also tried the Korean Fried Chicken appetizer and Fried Snapper and Grits, both of which were flavorful and cooked to perfection. For dessert, I shared the (deconstructed) Peach Cobbler and that was also really good, though definitely too much for one person at the end of all the food I'd had. My group also ordered drinks, with the bartender offering suggestions of their most popular cocktails. I was sad they don't offer beer flights (yet), but I was allowed to sample a few of their drafts before committing to a 16 oz so that was a pleasant surprise. I loved loved loved their draft list, and the rest of my group loved their cocktails as well. Overall PHENOMENAL spot to come with friends or for a date night.

This place was absolutely 5 stars!! From the atmosphere, to the service staff, to the food! Everything was so good! There was 5 of us and all but two got something different. We had Nashville Chicken and Waffles, Nashville Chicken and Biscuits, Avocado Toast with Truffle Chicken Salad and a Burger! I know I already said but again 5 stars. We did have to wait, but was absolutely worth it!

The fish and chips were sub standard. The fish was over breaded. The beer and cocktails were very good. My wife enjoyed the wings

Do y'all still have the donut burger because I didn't see it on the menu?

Hey! We only run the donut burger as a special for our anniversary and for national donut day! Stay tuned though, it might come back for good soon enough!

First time visiting Columbus and found this place out on Google with their amazing brisket waffles…read more Got seated really fast and our servers are really nice. They check on us now and then letting us know how long the food will take since they are short on staff and have a couple of large parties before us. We ordered their full rib in dry and the sweet potato brisket waffles. The reason why I don't give them a 5 stars is because their meat seems to be a bit too dry. The brisket on my waffle have to add a lot of maples in order to make them moisture, the good thing about the meal is the meat portion are very generous and flavorful. The town itself is very interesting as well so hope sometime in future I'll get to visit again

We stopped in to get some BBQ. We were not very hungry so we…read moreall shared two plates of the brisket. We were seated right away and our server was nice. She did not tell me there was an up-charge for a side of ranch for my fries which I probably would not have asked for since, as you can see from my small plate I ate only about 5 fries. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The bathrooms were not very clean and our table was a bit dirty. We used sanitized napkins and they were dirty after wiping our table. The food was really good which is why I gave it 4 stars. The meat was tender and very tasty. The fries were very good as well. This place could be a five star but due the above mentioned issues with cleanliness and up charge, I could not bring myself to a five star review.
