Review Nona Blue - Orlando

We were visiting from out of town and were looking for a place that could offer variety as our group could not decide the cuisine to have. This place did not disappoint. The drinks were great, the food was very tasty and the service was 1st class. My wife and I ended up visiting it a 2nd time. I highly recommend it if you are in the Lake Nona area.

Lemon Chicken was delicious. I've never mixed lemony taste wiith potatoes but it was good. Mama's meatloaf was good too! I really enjoyed the cream corn that came with it. I highly recommend the carrot cake it literally melts in your mouth 🤤 Service took a bit but the experience was enjoyable

I've been hearing some pretty great things about Nona Blue from some pretty prominent people for quite some time, but just hadn't found the excuse to come and check it out. Well, one day recently, it placed on the list of best Lake Nona restaurants in the fine publication, Orlando Weekly, so that was enough for me, it was time to come and see what the fuss was all about. I came, I parked, I sat. The place is really beautiful. Low light, classy bar right in the middle, looks like you could expect to see The Sopranos sitting in the corner conducting business. We got a wonderful server with a really sparkling personality. I'm glad he was a really cool dude, because for reasons I won't get into now, we got challenged to have our server choose our meal for us. And this guy did us right. So we started off with the Blue Cheese Kettle Chips (Blue Cheese Béchamel / Chopped Bacon / Balsamic Glaze / Green Onions). Go look at this picture! This plate of nachos was constructed perfectly. Béchamel everywhere, bacon very well distributed, glaze over every corner, and enough green onion to give that pop of freshness you need in a heavy app like this. Just lovely. Then I got my entrée, the Baby Back Ribs, with a side of some cheesy broccoli. Man, I haven't had ribs like this in a long time. Falling off the bone, charred in just enough spots, enough sauce to let the meat still be the star of the show. I was very impressed. I would expect ribs like this from a high-end barbecue joint, not a place like this, so they really delivered here. I also got to try a special that was on their menu for a limited time, a red snapper on top of pearl couscous, with a side of their ridiculous mac 'n' cheese. The fish was cooked Perfectly. Very moist and flakey with juuust enough seasoning crusted on the outside. Very nice, herby couscous for a fun masago-like texture in your mouth with the bites of fish. It was just a really nice dish. Hope they have it when you go. So yea, that's it. The food was really top notch, the service was top notch, and the atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing and elegant. I recommend this place through and through.

Great made from scratch restaurant, lovely service and good food! A relaxed environment with comfortable seating, a mixture of high top tables, and comfortable round couches. Plenty of room at the bar as well. We tried many things including Margherita Flatbread, Firecracker Shrimp, Fish & Chips, Steak frites, and cocktails like the Baby Blue Cosmopolitan, and an assortment of the desserts! The restaurant was busy, but service was friendly.

Two days before our wedding we met family at NB for dinner to welcome them to town…the server asked if we were celebrating and my sister told her about the wedding. At the end of our meal our server brought me this card signed by multiple staff! 😍💝👰🏼🤵‍♂️🥳 I have always loved their food…the carrot cake for sure—but this makes me love the whole experience!

Great local pub - with the atmosphere to match. Locals and others drink alike in this place and the staff don’t care where you’re from - they’re excellent. It has a great atmosphere that they’re rightly proud of. We’ve been a lot over the past ten years and it never disappoints. It’s best in the evening as the weekend approaches - then you really get to enjoy everything it has to offer. It’s a perfect stop to and from the airport if you’re from out of town - just head a couple of hours early for a fantastic meal - their steaks are exceptional but fish, chicken, salads - it’s all well above par with pretty low prices for these times. Proper pub, proper pints and proper people running it. It’s legit - don’t miss out.

We discovered Nona Blue a few years ago. They offer a great menu of delicious favorites. Prices are basically between $15 and $50 per plate. But don't worry, you won't walk away wanting more. The atmosphere was relaxing and 'pubbish'. Very nicely furnished and beautiful decor. We were greeted enthusiastically and promptly seated. Our waiter was friendly and informative about various dishes. We ordered an appetizer of smoked salmon fish dip. It arrived promptly and was delicious with toasted bread sqares. I ordered French Quarter penne pasta with shimp and andouille sausage. It was delicious and plentiful. Enough for another meal actually for myself. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal!

Love this place it’s got class and great staff not to mention the Food is Delicious i take my guests here and Family you can’t go wrong with Nona Blue Tavern just a great place and Also Great Drinks-the Bat Staff are professionals just like the Owners one is a Pro Golfer. We are very lucky to have this place here in lake Nona it really is a hidden Gem. The wine sprits and Beer and Larger selection is amazing Ice cold Stella my Favorite and the Guinness from back home is very good quality. Definitely worth a visit to Nona Blue Tavern

Had a really nice dinner at Nona Blue. I’ve been here many times but never reviewed it. Meatloaf was amazing. Creamed corn mmmmm! Our waitress was really attentive and kind. We had a group of 6 and really enjoyed the night.

Location, parking were very good. Our server was lovely. Food, cocktail and desert were delicious. Highly recommend, we came in for lunch in a Monday. Would visit again, very goid. I had the magi mahi special, hubby had meatloaf and we had carrot cake . Everything was wonderful. Plus they were nice to our Peggy which always gets you brownie points.

The food was fantastic as always, and it’s nice to know that some things don’t change no matter how many years it’s been. You’ll still find one of the managing partners sitting in a booth, drinking his wine and being his cheery, pleasant self, keeping things in line. You can’t get that kind of consistency anywhere these days. Keep up the good work.

Nona Blue has been my favorite for many years. I’ve enjoyed the crafted cocktails, the great apps and entrees and the amazing desserts…. But that isn’t all. The owners, management, and staff are wonderful and really care about the guest experience! And the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. My favorite place to celebrate at. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the Orlando area!

The food is reliably good. Service was amazing. Brooke was our server and she was friendly, professional and attentive. Brooke asked about allergies and really made sure to understand. The manger, Lexi, even came by to make sure that allergies were not a problem and to let us know about all the ingredients. We were impressed but both Brooke and Lexi and all the other staff we came in contact with. Really great experience.

We went for lunch on Sunday and had an amazing experience. I got the lobster Mac and cheese and my husband got the steak frites. The steak frites had amazing flavor and was a better quality cut of meat than some of the steak houses we’ve been to in Orlando. My lobster Mac and cheese was loaded with lobster they did not skimp. Our service was amazing, drinks were always filled and she came by enough to check on us but not so much that it was annoying and interrupted our meal. We will definitely be back.

Nona Blue was better than expected and was a unique experience in modern dining. The bartenders were busy but still friendly and attentive with their modern twist cocktails and happily served custom orders. For a Thursday the place was packed, and while most of our group were very happy with the food (steaks, and burgers), my and another friend’s (brined?) pork rib chop was dry and bland (super thick so it had to be a challenge to cook). Fortunately, the manager took care of it and listened to our concerns. Their carrot cake dessert was melt in your mouth good and helped redeemed the experience. May 2022

I absolutely must leave a review! This is my third time enjoy Nona blue, but having my Valentine's experience their tops them all. We were sat outside in less time than we were quoted. We had the most excellent server who was also the outside bartender. Her name was Kelly and I am convinced that I will ask for her every single time. Her and Gabby did everything with such integrity and ease. Everything I ordered was done for the first time. The steak fries, their house salad, and the lemon chicken. Every single thing brought the type of flavor that makes you close your eyes when you take a bite. I have fallen in love with their Greek salad and Caesar salad but the house salad might be my new favorite. The dressing and housemaid croutons among the other ingredients made for the best salad I've had in a long time! As you can see in the photo the serving for lemon chicken is huge! You will definitely be taking half of it home. Every single bite is better than the last. I definitely recommend this place not only for their food but for the service. I've had such a laid-back server every single time. They always seem to be very personable and patient.

Holiday mixer, only complaint is our group has to be split into 3 separate tables. Still had a great time. Good was delish and they had a nice bourbon selection.

Great service and delicious food! Bartender recommended beers and how to make our burger just right. Came for a quick lunch date and was more than pleased.

I'm becoming a regular at nona blue. The drinks are done well. The food is delicious. Would highly recommend the carrot cake. The service is outstanding no matter what server I've had. Stephanie and Josh stand out the most to me. Their attention to detail and overall knowledge and friendly, attentive service has really impressed me. Great for a quick snack, afternoon drink or full dinner. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Restaurant is clean and well maintained.
