Nona Blue Modern Tavern

"I found this place without even looking for it, and our experience was excellent. The waiter was incredibly friendly – I regret not remembering his name because he was very good. The place is super welcoming, and I loved the family table they seated us at, allowing us to sit comfortably together. The food was a delight of flavors, and the place is just lovely. Highly recommended for those looking for delicious food. The price is reasonable for what they offer."

"This was our first time at Nona Blue, and we enjoyed it very much! The food was delicious, and the service excellent! Our waiter, Daniel, gave us really good suggestions and was always ready when we needed him. We ordered an artichoke and spinach dip to share, which we all liked it very much. We then ordered steak frites, a hamburger, and baby back ribs. The baby back ribs order was so large that we split it between 2 people and they almost could not eat them all. We spend an average of $40 per person, including tip, and everybody had a drink too. There is plenty of free parking and outdoor seating too. Highly recommended!"

"I highly recommend making a reservation, if not you have a very long wait time on a Friday. Nevertheless the food was very delicious, customer service was great & the ambiance was lovely. Great for date night or happy hour with friends or family!"

"Nona Blue Tavern is a culinary gem where taste adventures and camaraderie collide! Recently reunited with long-time friends Nancy and Jody, this spot became the perfect backdrop after ages since the pandemic's onset. Amidst sharing tales of my car transport escapades, books, and social media endeavors, the staff at Nona Blue Tavern were not just attentive but downright fabulous! Lathan, the manager, deserves a round of applause for orchestrating an experience that's nothing short of amazing—his attention to detail was as impressive as the diverse menu. From delectable bites to the superb salmon dip that left our taste buds dancing, every dish was a celebration of flavor. And let's not forget the beer of times! Nona Blue Tavern isn't just a restaurant; it's a vibrant hub where friends gather, stories unfold, and memories are crafted over delightful meals. If you're in for a fun-filled culinary journey, make a pitstop here—you won't be disappointed! Cheers to Nona Blue Tavern for an evening that felt like a gastronomic fiesta!"

"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."
