Myself & two friends first went for Lunch & it was recommended by a friend of ours. Max was our server & helped us kick our hangovers to the side ,with lots of yummy food & excellent service. He was super friendly & very hospitable, as someone who works in industry myself. I would tell other to go back & visit him! We felt at home as soon as we walked in & decided to take our whole kickball team back. As we were visiting for a National tournament happening. We went back for dinner on a Sunday & had Maggie as our server. We got to try even more amazing food & cocktails! Maggie gave us the best service, recommendations & left our hearts warm, tummies full! We can’t thank all the staff enough for the wonderful vibes, excellent food & cozy vibes. NOLO’s is excellent!

We had a really enjoyable meal here. The food was definitely the highlight — top notch, really flavorful, and well-presented. Service was a bit slow at the start, likely because it was right after brunch ended, but it picked up nicely, and our waitress was super sweet and helpful the whole time. The ambiance was nice too, though it was a bit quieter than I expected — a livelier crowd would’ve made it feel even more energetic. That said, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. Overall, it was a solid spot with great food and attentive staff. I’ll definitely be coming back, probably to try some more dishes and enjoy the same relaxed vibe, maybe on a busier evening to get a bit more energy in the room.

Stopped in for breakfast on a snowy morning. Sat at the bar and the bartender Faith was amazing. Food was great. Service was excellent and the ambiance was inviting. Great spot to try in you're downtown and never been here.

We were meeting some people, and this establishment was recommended to meet. The atmosphere is modern and clean. The service is great, and our server Amanda was wonderful! We made a reservation for 9, so we didn't have a wait. I tried the salty dog drink, and it was quite tasty. The kid's menu had a wide variety of options. One ordered the salmon and fries, and the other ordered the burgers and fries. My other half and I shared the yucca fries, chicken wings and a side salad. Wow, everything was so flavorful. The yucca fries were delectable. The wings had a nice kick. The kids liked their meals. Definitely a great place for brunch and meeting. Thanks Nolo!

Some of the best flatbread pizza I’ve ever had!!! Drinks were very pricey especially considering we went during happy hour, but the food was delicious and views were amazing!!

Smashed a Sunday night dinner here and NOLO’s absolutely delivered. The food was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with the spring rolls as an appetizer, which were spot on. For mains, we shared the BBQ ribs, the cheeseburger, and the orecchiette pasta—honestly, every single dish was a hit. Great vibe for a Sunday evening. Will definitely be back! Also, our server was so nice and attentive. Thank you for the bday dessert! Best!

Great place for a meal. Lots of options for seating. Like a small lounge, bar seating, booth seating and high tables seating. Servers are super friendly and hospitable. I’d meet here with just ladies, for a business meeting and I’d go for a family brunch too!

It was so refreshing to go to a restaurant with my beautiful daughter for our Mommy Daughter Date and have a wonderful experience. Stumbled on this place by Google for some nearby breakfast. Greeted upon arrival by the host. 😎Upon going to the restroom we stumbled on this pink aura of a radiant personality (no idea she would be our waitress). She spoke to us (was not even on the clock) just being friendly (which seems rare and scarce these days but I digress.) When we returned we were shortly greeted by the radiant personality-Cati was her name. She was awesome, she answered questions to the best of her ability and if she did not have an answer she went to find out instead of making something up. Loved. They made an exception for my daughter as many meat choices she did not eat and cooked her a salmon for her morning meal (I did order within half a hour of the lunch time or dinner menu). The food was presented beautifully and I did not eat the meat choices in the breakfast bowl but they allowed me to modify with turkey sausage. Let me tell you the most impressive part of my dish was that the chef / cook (to not offend their culinary talent) did NOT throw the sausages on top. They finely chopped them up and mixed it in the bowl. It was a great presentation. Peas at breakfast, I was sketch but baybay it was paired better than I could imagine. Definitely will return and hope to have another amazing experience. The atmosphere is so lovely and sitting by the window is a definite pleasure. Oh notice all the decor when going to the bathroom. There is a wall display of rulers. Beautiful. The Brock displays being different colors. For a neutral color atmosphere they did it RIGHT!!!

Nolo’s is a very clean restaurant with good pricing and easy food options in Minneapolis. We went there for a late lunch and they had familiar food options that weren’t bad at all. I got tacos which came with 3 tacos and a side of fries, which were pretty good for the price. Also tried the margarita pizza which was good as well. Easy pick for getting food with friends, the restaurant itself is beautiful with kind staff and great natural light. Not sure about gluten free or vegan options you can probably check online but they have vegetarian options for sure.

We came in on a Friday night before a show at the Orpheum - also was the night Morgan Wallen was in town, so it was VERY busy with concert goers! Glad we had reservations! We started with the Yuka fries and were so happy we got them. Something we still talk about weeks later, so soft, yet crispy and the toppings were perfect. Highly recommend - we only were able to eat half between two of us, so definitely great to share. We saw other tables had some nachos, found out that they were from the happy hour menu (if you can get there at happy hour, they have different food items on that menu compared to dinner). I got the Walleye sandwich and it was so yummy. Spicy but not too bad, the slaw balanced it well. I got it with a side of mushroom soup - which was so good! I was very happy with my meal. My husband got a classic cheeseburger and fries. He said burger was good with a GF bun and was satisfied. It was less than $100 for the two of us with non-alcoholic beverages. My husband ordered a CBD drink - they had several options. We would come back before a concert or show again as it was still great, unique enough to feel good about going out to eat, easy to bring friends and not too expensive.
