Honestly, I was disappointed. I went in there at like 9:45am and saw that they had this cool looking dish called the Red Eye Benedict that had steaks and mushrooms. I ordered it and they were out of steak. It was barely 10am.... I was okay with that and ordered an omelette. When my omelette got to the table I realized that it didn't come with an english muffin or toast. I have never been to a breakfast place that doesn't have it's omelettes come with toast. By the time my waitress came back I asked her about it and she confirmed that none of the omelettes come with toast. She asked if I wanted some but I was already half way done with my omelette so I didn't bother. The biggest disappointment was the hash browns. They were so basic. It was like a freezer bag of diced potatoes thrown into the deep fryer. I don't know why a lot of breakfast places struggle with hash browns but I honestly think that hash browns are what separate the good from the great. Potatoes aren't expensive and hand cutting them does not take long especially with dicing and shredding machines now. Also the portion size of the potatoes was really small. Especially considering that I didn't get toast either. I think I had about 15 pieces that were about an 1/2 inch to an inch long. The service was good. I had a nice server. Nothing about to complain about with the staff. I am just disappointed that my food was not better than what it was. I can make a better breakfast at home and I am not a cook. The competition of breakfast places in this area is so high you have to do something to separate yourself from everyone else. I'd rather go to Brunch Cafe or Abby's in St Charles or even Buttermilk down the street in Geneva. I hope Nosh is reading this because I am not trying to be mean. I am just giving what I saw when I was there. I am certain that I am not the only person who feels this way. This business is dependent on returning customers and I probably won't be returning any time soon. I hope the owners of Nosh do something because the food was bland and didn't have anything that separated it from the competitors. read more

Let me start by saying the employees had the worst attitudes I've ever experienced at a restaurant. We walk in and stand by the host stand when a woman server with brown hair grabs two menus and says "two". We said yeah and she throws our menus on the table and walks away. Then our server greets us immediately and asks what she could get us to drink. I reply by saying we've never been here before. Instead of giving me any sort of insight on the menu, she glared at me without speaking and then proceeds to tell us that the kitchen closes in 25 minutes so we need to be mindful of that. No menu walk thru, nothing. I should have walked out right at that moment. I got the loaded breakfast bowl that totally lacked flavor. Also, not worth the price. It's really small and doesn't come with any toast or pancakes. Then I ordered a mocha latte with almond milk and it just tasted like burnt coffee. I told my server I didn't like it and she grabbed the bill off our table to reluctantly take it off the bill. That was a totally unacceptable experience. What a waste of money. read more

My favorite breakfast and lunch spot in the Western Chicago suburbs. Very creative menu and excellent wait staff. The salads are quite large and always fresh. My favorite is the Cuban sandwich which never fails to satisfy. After at least 20 visits I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal at Nosh. read more

As sad as Sara B is it wasn't the most amazing bfast ever, it still was very pleasant. The food was dyno-mite and the ambiance was such that we made many life altering decisions and got much work done. We'll be back. read more

Always have fresh choices - wraps, sandwiches, salads. Kids love the pancakes. I occasionally get the oatmeal - it's awesome with the chicken sausage. This is a great brunch place. read more

Nosh - Nice steak wrap with side salad - New American Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Lively atmosphere. Good for children. Reasonable prices. read more

So glad we finally went to the new location. So fun and upsacle diner feel. Brunch selections are amazing and fresh and the staff is so friendly and attentive. One time we came in and sat at the countertop and you can tell the servers had fun. We never went without. One of my new fav places to bring people. Well done Nosh! read more

We love Nosh. The hollandaise sauce is amazing. They also have gluten free bread which means you can get any of their Benedicts.

Excellent breakfast. Very affordable prices and large portions. Needed to bring food home. Very nice new location. Big and bright. Friendly staff. read more

Had breakfast this morning And the place is real nice menus has very interesting item we had the Monte Christo egg Benedict and it was Soooo good they serve Fresh orange juice which was great service was friendly but not over the top and very efficient A real solid breakfast place read more

You know when you give 4 stars although it could be 5 but you just can't give it 5? Yes, that's the case here. Since there is no really reason why.. maybe b/c it's breakfast that I come here for. Anyway, I really enjoy Nosh and their little stool/bar spot. I also love that they serve alcohol, a nice tequila sunrise or mango-pomegranate mimosa with the hangover Benedict or bagel lox's! Their staff is super friendly, also- which is always a bonus. Food comes out hot, quick and is delicious! Enjoy! read more

Nosh - Hangover Benedict (Sat & Sun only!) - New American Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

I tried Nosh for the first time yesterday and will definitely add it to my favorite local restaurants list. The room has an open and airy feel, but It's not too big, kind of like a Chicago neighborhood cafe. There are a few outdoor tables, but too few umbrellas on a really sunny day. It was lunch time, but I had the Costa Rican breakfast; eggs over easy, mashed red beans with cheese melted on top and three wedges of soft tortilla-like, mildly spicy things. It sounds heavy but it ate light - loved it and would have again. We also ordered polenta with ginger-honey pears. It was a little sweet for a lunch item - might be better as a shared side with one of the salads. Speaking of salad, we ordered one with avocado and extra chick peas but neither made it to the huge bowl of greens. Someone brought them right after we asked though. Our server was pleasant and didn't rush us to make a decision off the really interesting menu. All three orders came out of the kitchen together, although there was a bit of a mixup in who of the three of us got what. Bill? $33.00 with tip. Nosh is a nice surprise because it feels new for the Fox Valley in food and approach. They could ace this place with just a little more attention to details. read more

It's all good at Nosh!! Just sitting here thinking about their Nosh's French Toast is making me drool. Yum. Also like their Flat Iron Steak Sandwich. Cool, hip atmosphere, yet still casual. And, we love the Seinfeld connection. (Gotta read the explanation on their menu to find out what I mean.) read more

Well I used to rate this higher. The last two time is OK to Not OK Today pancakes for the kids were a new batter, not grilled hot enough or pre cooked. Better could have been anywhere else. They were like toaster pancakes. This is not my experience in the past where I would have gone to 4 or five stars. read more

My hubby and I have been to brunch here a couple times now and it is consistently great! Love the Nosh french toast and also their savory version, both are delicious. Also highly recommend the bruleed oatmeal and chicken sausage. The menu has a great selection of brunch classics, plus a few interesting specials. As an expectant mum, I like that it is a family friendly environment and look forward to bringing bubs here in a few months time. It's about 1/2 hour's drive for us to get there, but still well worth the trip. Bring your appetite, you'll need it :) read more

My family and I eat here at least once a week. The food is amazing and the service always puts a smile on my face. I've never once had a bad experience here! I recommend the muchacho omelette (I guess that's what I'm known for haha) and also all the soups are amazing!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Nosh - Tuscan soup! - New American Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

Nosh moved to a bigger brighter space and still has the best eggs benedict in the area. Some great new additions to the menu (breakfast bowls, burgers), and many of the old staples remain or have been brought back from customer requests. Great new bar area. Some of the best wait staff around, friendly and hard working. Was a fan at the old location. Still a big fan! read more

Foods OK, however they refuse to cook eggs to order. Waitress told us they can't because eggs are made ahead of time and cooks are unable to. read more

I live in Geneva so I'm blessed to be able to visit all my local restaurants frequently. I've been waiting for the new Nosh to work out the kinks before I visited them for the first time. Went on a Sat late morning. Busy & noisy - which happy that they were busy. Staff attentive & pleasant. I had an omelet - cold and rather bland. Had feta, tomato spinach - literally no feta & maybe 3 pieces of spinach. Please explain to me why no toast of any kind is served with an egg dish. No garnish - dish plain & lackluster. Best part ..... within 4 hrs I came down with stomach issue/diarrhea. Will never go back. There are so many great places to eat in Geneva, don't care to risk it again. read more

Fun little place. The food was fresh and drinks were so good.

Go there only for the French Toast, nice atmosphere and friendly service. The other dishes were poor. Eggs Benedict over cooked and dry, akin to a hard boiled egg. The honey pears which sound delightful were hard and disappointing. If you want French Toast, you can't go wrong here. For anything else, find somewhere else. read more

Nosh has me torn a little. I was teetering between 3 and 4 stars. The food is awesome - 5 stars for sure! They have some really different menu items, specifically the different types of bennys and french toasts. I wanted to try them all! Fun fact, you can get a sampler size of different items on the menu. My friend couldn't decide between 2, so she got a half portion of each. I wish they had that on the menu! I ended up getting the benny that was like a caprese salad. Sounds weird, but it was good! Everyone I was with enjoyed what they ordered. Their coffee and cocktails are also very good. The service was good - we always had drinks filled and plates cleared. My only issue was, since this is such a small place there is a wait (of course). That's fine. There aren't many places to sit inside and wait, so you have to wait outside. I understand that they want to get more business and get people in and out, but we felt like we were being watched and rushed the entire time. We were asked about 5 times if we wanted boxes for our leftovers. We aren't done yet!!! Simmer down. I don't want to feel like I'm being rushed out of a place. I paid to be here too ya know. If that had not been the case, this place would probably be 5 stars. read more

I've tried Nosh three separate times and every time I, and my husband, have been very underwhelmed. The food sound good but it never seems to live up to the hype; the salmon Benedict I ordered, for instance, had very little sauce, was burned underneath, the salmon was average and the potatoes were dry. I don't know why everyone loves them, I really wanted to, but they are just not good. If however I am ever in the mood for bland food, pretentious patrons and overpriced drinks I'll come right back. read more

So honestly I wanted to love this place...theoretically it was everything I would normally love in a restaurant ( not a chain, quirky, inventive menu) but somehow this place just fell short for me. Fred, Milo and I went here one morning for a late breakfast because I had been wanting to try this place since it opened. When you walk in, it is very "lofty" looking and feels more like a brunch place in the city then out in the suburbs. So I liked that. We were seated quickly and our waitress came over quick-ish to take our drink order. She then told us the specials, one being the Skirt Steak Eggs Benedict with Jalapeno Hollandaise. That is what I ended up ordering because that hollandaise just sounded too good to pass up. And Fred got the Migas de Pan de Puerco...which was a little mound of homemade croutons mixed with eggs, Spanish chorizo and maybe some cheese, I can't remember. But it was not what he was expecting...he was expecting more of a skillet style and it was more of a shaped scrambler. And he was also not too impressed with the Spanish chorizo, we both agreed it would have been much better with the greasiness of the Mexican style chorizo that is typically used because it was a bit on the dry side. Now for the kicker. My eggs benedict. Coming from a place that specializes in unique breakfast dishes...I would think they would know how to PERFECTLY cook an egg. Well, apparently not. When I got my dish, my eggs were basically hard boiled instead of poached. I'm talking pale yellow, HARD yolk in the center. I was so turned off that I couldn't even stand to send it back cause I was just so disappointed. This dish could have been AMAZING...I mean the sauce was seriously to die for...and apparently that was what I would have needed to do to get an ample amount on my plate! There was just barely enough to cover the egg and that is just not enough in my book! So....sorry Nosh...I tried to love you...it just didn't work out this time. Maybe I will give you another chance in the future...but we shall see. read more

These people were rude. My parents went into the restaurant and inquired about hosting a Sunday morning, post wedding brunch. My parents were not going to set limitations on food/drink for our 35-40 guests and they initially said they would be happy to reserve part of the restaurant for our party. When my parents went back in to follow up, the individual said "we have a lot of wealthy clients unless you are going to spend $2,000 we can't have you" OK rude! If you aren't willing to reserve part of the restaurant just say "we've decided to stop hosting private brunches, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." No need to say "we have a lot of wealthy customers..." plus my parents weren't setting a limit on the tab. It may well have been $2,000. Even if Nosh does have fantastic food, I'm going to have a hard time ever walking in there again. read more

Had breakfast there yesterday and it was delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. Everyone was enjoying cocktails with their breakfast, which was sort of fun to watch! We weren't able to join in with the drinking, but enjoyed the cool vibe and energy. Especially Miss Kelsey K! read more

I'm usually weary of suburban brunch spots....don't hate me.....I'm just used to Chicago brunch. Let me tell you, Nosh was a GREAT and pleasant surprise. Really great, accommodating staff, and fantastic food. I tried a bite of everyone's food and I loved it all! I got a Greek omelet...delish. Hubs got blueberry pancakes...oh my goodness. Our friends got French toast....oh my heavens; and some kind of sandwich that was super tasty. If you are feeling frisky, try their fresh fruit mimosas. I got the pomegranate one. It was filled with plenty of sparkling wine and the juices were fresh and yummy. Aaannndddd not much of a wait to get a table which was a nice change from the city spots. read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot. Staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Personal favorites any of the omelettes and sandwiches/soups. Will come back again for sure. read more

Went with my hubby and he loved the food and the great beer selection. We went on 6/10/17 and the special flatbread of the day was freaking fantastic!! It had a bean spread with lots of different peppers and some cheese, best ever!! We had the Cuban and split that along with the flatbread and happy we split both as they were both really good and filling! Bartender was extremely nice and knew everything about them menu and the beer selections. Can't wait to return!! read more

First let me say that we have always loved this place. We live in Elgin would drive down to Geneva just to dine at the Nosh. I think we will not be back. We were there this past Sunday and were very disappointed. I ordered the Tri-Color Benedict which was lacking all favor, eggs over cooked and the hollandaise sauce was non existent, and tomato slice so thin you could read through it. My husband ordered the Shrimp Tacos. when the server put the plate down in front of him everyone at the table chuckled. The (3) Tacos were made with the four inch tiny tortillas which looked like something a five year old child would eat. He said the one and a half shrimp per taco was a Joke. They had a small amount of cabbage slaw on the top. Our daughter had a chicken sandwich which she said was fine. Our total bill was $47.00 pretty insane for the amount and quality of food. Sadly disappointing, this place is no longer worth the drive. read more

Great restaurant for all occasions. The staff is wonderful and down to earth. I love the fact that they have gluten free options! So many choices here... and they're all good choices!! Also, no long waits which is awesome!!! I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone :) read more

OMG! I hate brunch, but my GF loves it. I was skeptical at first, but... WOW! The food is amazing, and who would think they have one of the best pastrami sandwiches EVER! We are weekly regulars and it's the highlight of my week/weekend. The food is beyond reproach, but the staff really makes it stand head and shoulders above the rest. Leslie, Kelsey, and Lexie are amazing. They make you feel at home, know your drink, know how to make them and if you're running low a fresh drink arrives before you even think to ask! Best service in the area, amazing drinks, crazy good food and you feel like a guest in someone's home! You'd be crazy to pass this over once, and once you go it'll be a regular destination of not a regular weekend stop! And, I have to say they have the best hostess in the biz! read more

An update.... I used to rave about this place but having gone there for over a year, the menu is getting tired and the food quality is going down hill slowly. Still good but I'm not as impressed as I had been in the past. read more

Wow.... just had the best CHILAQUILES that I have ever eaten.... highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area.

I really don't understand all the rave reviews for this place. Subpar service and okay food. The waitress came by a total of three times. First, to take our drink order, then to take our meal order, and then to drop off the check. She never came to ask how our food was and to see if we needed anything. My friend ordered the Wisconsin omelette and I've never seen an omelette w/so much egg and the toppings just stuffed in the fold. I ordered the mango BBQ flatbread. It was lacking the mango and was seriously underwhelming. The herb roasted potatoes lacked the herbs/seasoning. Won't be returning to Geneva to try out this joint again. read more

"So, uh-- anything to nosh"? -George Costanza Nosh is a great place for brunch. And by great, I mean they serve alcohol. My bf and I went on a beautiful Sunday around 11:30 and requested an outdoor table. We were told the wait would be about five minutes and were sat within that time frame. The decor is eclectic with mismatched tables and is very unassuming. We sat outside however, where the wasps apparently tend to gather. I don't blame Nosh (that's natures fault, dammit). Our server was nice, and provided legit suggestions. There's nothing worse than going someone and asking your servers opinion and they don't know sh*t about their own menu. At least make something up for God's sake!! Anyhow, she was nice although we did share some awkward chatter in regards to her children (coulda done w/o hunny). I had the breakfast burrito with both the pears and potatoes as a side and a bloody Mary. Everything was fantastic. The bloody had just the right amount of spice to it and was sufficiently strong. The burrito was filling and delicious. I probably shouldn't have eaten the entire serving, but something about those vegetarian beans and fresh avocado kept me going. I actually am a big fan of their portion sizes, they're reasonable without being ridiculous and I feel the prices are right on. This isn't some swanky, snooty Geneva establishment-- just good, innovative food in an unassuming atmosphere. I will be returning fa sho. read more

Great eclectic place for breakfast. Great staff, wonderful mimosas and if you play your cards right... sometimes complimentary. Love this place and will return. read more

Love their hangover Benedict. Their coffee leaves much to be desired but they keep it coming and that's what really matters. A bit pricey for breakfast but they do have a very unique selection, including chilaquiles, which are virtually unknown around these parts (but not unknown to my belly). read more

Both of us ordered eggs Benedict. Both came with eggs not poached but hard boiled. Told server who put in new order. That came with eggs almost hard boiled. Apparently can't cook a poached egg. Very unremarkable. Won't come back. read more

Unless you like the texture of cat food .... The first time I had ever been to Nosh, I'd say I was smitten, thought the food was great, nice service, cute decor, etc. Since then the only things that have really changed are the table tops are literally coming apart, which looks awful, and it seems as if the quality on some dishes has been cheapened. So, we went back for a girl's outing, just 4 of us for lunch during the week. One person ordered an egg and meat dish which had a beautiful presentation but wasn't as hot as expected. Eggs cool off fast, so that's not so bad. A second person ordered a breakfast burrito with potatoes. She loved it and was stuffed before she could finish. The other two of us, myself included, ordered the "Grilled Chicken Salad Pita" (I had "herb potatoes on the side, she had salad). First off, I wish I had taken a photo to show you what it looked like, but I will just have to describe it. Let's start with how the menu described this "Nosh Signature" Dish: "Grilled chicken breast tossed with dried cherries, fresh pears, celery, and onion in a house-made sweet dijonaise ($8.99)" Now that sounds great on a hot day, right? This is what we were served: toasted pita bread with finely ground chicken mush. No chunks or pieces of anything. The texture was similar to cat food and tasted just like the canned pre-mixed chicken salad that comes in those little shelf stable lunch packs at the grocery store. The staff promised me it wasn't canned, but why on earth would you blend your chicken salad into a puree unless perhaps you didn't have any of the actual ingredients that you told us you were going to make it out of? In the end it was ugly, tasteless and no fun to eat. I have no desire to go back as that area is filled with other great places to eat, and that makes me sad to say. read more
