    First but not last visit to Nolia. Was a little surprised we were able to get a Saturday evening reservation so easily. Everything about the evening was wonderful, the personal attention from the chef, the unique delicious flavors, the intimate setting (you walk in and see the kitchen right there), the knowledge and care by our server. It was the best meal I have had in as long as I can remember. Very much looking forward to what the summer menu might hold in store.
