I love Nina May. I’ve never had a bad dish here! This was my third visit, for restaurant week this time. $55 for a wonderful set of dishes that you felt full after. Cocktails are also fantastic. Everything they do is fresh and flavorful. All very creative as well. And even though they’re $16, don’t skip on the bread rolls! They are one of the best items on the menu. There’s patio seating, as well as upstairs and downstairs indoor seating.

★★★★★ 5.0 Peter Durkin · Oct 2025

So glad I finally got to try this spot! Had an amazing dinner of a la carte options. One of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. For my second visit, I'll need to try the Chef's menu, which is very reasonably priced.

★★★★★ 5.0 Trace Horger · Apr 2025

I recently hosted a private birthday party for about 18 people at Nina May, and it was absolutely incredible—easily one of my best visits yet (and this was my third time here!). Ben was our server for the evening and truly went above and beyond. He was attentive, timely, and made sure our wine glasses were never empty. He checked in often to ensure everything ran smoothly, which made the whole experience feel seamless. The managers, Peter and Arie, were also fantastic. They both made it a point to check in throughout the night, making sure everything was perfect. That kind of attentiveness really makes a difference. The food? Outstanding. Every course from the Chef’s Choice menu was delicious, and the kitchen did a great job accommodating dietary restrictions without compromising on qua

★★★★☆ 4.0 Benjamin Greenberg · Mar 2026

We had the tasting menu which was very fairly priced especially if you come very hungry, and the food tasted very hearty and healthy. However, many dishes on the current seasonal menu seem to fall short of being fantastic. The rolls were incredible but the Philadelphia chicken dry and tough to chew.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Evan Cunningham · Nov 2025

A farm-to-table spot with a great chefs choice for two offering. Get the wine pairing! Portions and speed of service were just right, highly recommended
