Internet Buzz: Nobhill Tavern

  • The decor is impressive. Even though we didn't get one of the secluded booths, if we make it back to Vegas, we will be sure to request one of these.
  • A poor man's version of the other Michael Mina joints. Noisy and crowded, with a wait staff that can't handle the size. The food is what you'd expect from Michael Mina - outstanding and unique tastes and combinations.
  • We were quite surprised at the variety of dress on the diners around us. We didn't feel uncomfortable being somewhat dressed-up (for us, anyway), and I don't think the couple next to us felt out-of-place in nice shorts and a collared pullover.
  • First of all, I love the dark & cozy decor in Nobhill, and while they call it a tavern, it is definitely one of the most upscale "taverns" I have ever been in. The trio of breads in the basket were delicious and came with herb infused olive oil for dipping. This was a great little starter as all of us were pretty hungry.
  • For an appetizer we ordered the grilled cheese fondue-such a simple idea why hadn't I thought of this? Grilled cheese squares dunked into tomato soup! How could this NOT be good?
  • The lobster pot pie was fabulous, as billed, but the service was lacking. Our waiter disappeared for a half an hour.
  • We heard this place had an amazing Kobe beef hamburger. ... they indeed do have a fantastic Kobe hamburger, with french fries, sides wines and drink specials that are fantastic. The service was great, attentive but not hovering.
  • NobHill Tavern is a stylish little spot with a late nite happy hour menu from 10-midnight, with drink specials and appetizers/small plates for just $8 apiece. The apps include comfort food selections with a fancy Michael Mina twist, like lobster rolls, pork sliders, spare ribs and beer-battered shrimp.
