The real deal, one of the best meals I've had in Cincy. Space is small, but cozy. Being able to watch them skillfully make each dish in front of you really sets this place apart. We got the Bluefin Tuna Crudo, the waygu steak skewers, cornbread (the best cornbread of my life), Iberico, Scallops +grits, and the homemade coconut ice cream + doughnuts. Everything we got was gluten free and didn't even realize it. Staff was kind and attentive. The vibe inside and out is immaculate. I'm taking anyone I know here
Small intimate chef owned restaurant with a nod to elevated southern cooking. The staff was warm and welcoming happy to share insights on the food and the restaurant. It is a small location but is well worth seeking out. You have great views of the kitchen and the chef does a nice job of checking on guests when possible. The cocktail list is fun, especially if you grew up in the Cincinnati area. You really must have the corn bread, it is out of this world and worth every calorie. The pork belly is a little piece of heaven smoky, sweet and crunchy cooked to perfection. We also had the oyster and the tuna appetizer, all beautifully prepared and served. For entrees we tried the chicken served with the Caroline sauce and greens, it was cook to perfection and the sauce is perfect. We also tried the fish dish of the evening with had unicorn grits, totally fun and interesting to try. Our dessert was a strawberry crumble with fresh homemade whipped cream, a perfect finishing item. Even though it is a smaller location, they changed up their menus, so there is always something to look forward to.

The ambiance is off the charts. It’s truly a gem to have this in Cincinnati, hats off to the chef owner. I’ll be back again and again to try the rotating menu. The scallops and grits were probably the best seafood dish I’ve ever experienced, and bravo for procuring the black trumpets in February.
Nolia is by far one of my favorite restaurants. We sat at the bar with a full view of the kitchen, which in my opinion, are the best seats in the restaurant. We enjoyed everything we ate. The cornbread, the oysters, our main dishes. It was Valentine’s Day weekend and the vibes were so cute. We also had the crème brûlée and the consistency was off, before we could even speak on it, the cooks were already making us a new one. It was too tier food and service. We would like to thank Mitch as he was our server and took great care of us. I wish we took pictures but we didn’t :(
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a meal, from start to finish, this much. Every course was next-level. The cornbread is an absolute MUST. The wagyu skewer was cooked to perfection and very generously portioned. My entrée, scallops with grits, was complex and packed a lot of flavor into every bite. The crème brûlée was unlike any that I've had before (I love when desserts are accented with edible flowers) and was big enough to share. Chef Harris has definitely earned this second consecutive James Beard nomination.
