Mon Jul 30 19:01:35 -0700 2007 110996 LeahBaila 1 2798335 i go pretty regulalry, order lunch, do happy hour, even threw a company holiday party there...so yeah, i'm fan and anyone i've ever take there has loved it ;) some highlights: my favorite spinach dip ever, with homemade rosemary flatbread, great cheese platters that come with a little salad/fruit, wine & cheese specials, 2 for 1 happy hours, great specialty drinks at times... large and delicious sandwiches, which they'll also do as wraps, very accomodating...good, large salads, burgers, very rich mac & cheese... they do a mussels & fries special once a week.. always good, helpful service and reasonable prices, though have found them to be a bit slow once in a while, but like i said, i go a lot... i heard the brunch (w/live music) is great, but i still have not made it... oh, and great onion rings too! i know they've won the citysearch best comfort food a few years, and that is what you get. plus artisanal cheeses and good wine & beer selection for a little place. and if you get lunch delivered, they usually send a little chocolate brownie/cake desert bite, which is always a treat! Mon Jul 30 19:23:09 -0700 2007 2798284 81666 mlt9 1 2798358 It's a great neighborhood place (I live in the neighborhood, and I'm there often). They do a really nice brunch on the weekends, with a live bluegrass band playing and a kickass brick of french toast. They have a worthy cheese selection and offer up two choices and a glass of wine for $14. The previous tenant of the space was an Italian restaurant (Risa), whose brick oven remains. Nolita House doesn't show up on the "best pizza" lists, but when their pie is on (it usually is), it's pretty damn good stuff. On top of that, the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, and the folks who work there are great. It's definitely worth stopping in.

Tue Jul 31 05:40:38 -0700 2007 2798358 110996 LeahBaila 1 2799011 On Tuesday nights, the bottles of wine are 1/2 price. Tue Jul 31 05:42:28 -0700 2007 2798284 24107 Gluttonous Prime 1 2799145 I really like this place. It's a great inexpensive, casual option in the neighborhood. And the mac and cheese is terrific - very rich and creamy. They offer it as a side dish which I usually get as a starter instead since it's so rich. The fish tacos are very good too as is the hanger steak. Word of "caution" on the steak - the portion is gigantic. I was actually a little embarrassed when it came out because it was so much food. I have been known to have a big appetite but even so, it is easily something for 2 people to share. Tue Jul 31 06:46:26 -0700 2007 2798284 51406 pellegrino31 1 2799179 Has anyone had the fondue there? Tue Jul 31 06:59:23 -0700 2007 2798284 58361 soopling 1 2799230 I just have to agree with everyone else- my favorite neighborhood place. Great happy hour and friendly service. My favs are the spinach dip and the fish tacos. My SO is obsessed with their mac and cheese (he literally dreams about it). Some other great items not mentioned are their Buffalo wings which have a tangy sauce and come with creamy gorganzola cheese for dipping and their garlic burger. I may have to go tonight now after writing all of this! Tue Jul 31 07:17:54 -0700 2007 2798284 11223 roze 2 2799242 You all are the best! I'm SO EXCITED about trying this place, now! Thank you, thank you! Tue Jul 31 07:22:21 -0700 2007 2799230 110996 LeahBaila 3 2819771 Get the spinach dip! Mon Aug 06 19:07:15 -0700 2007 2799242 98880 kam0424 2 3618076 I'm thinking of having my birthday happy hour here. What's the atmosphere like? Most of my crowd is used to hanging out in Irish pubs and is usually more concerned about the drink than the food (ie, they can get loud), so I don't want to feel like we're hanging at a restaurant bar and bothering people who are there to eat. Is that the case, or is the Happy Hour a fun time? I personally can't wait to try the spinach dip! Tue Apr 22 07:16:26 -0700 2008 2799230 15839 esyle 3 3618083 Ever since I first wrote this post, I've become a huge fan of NH. Their happy hour specials rock and the food is solid. I think it would be the perf alternative to the typical Irish pub. www.thelunchbelle.com Tue Apr 22 07:17:56 -0700 2008 3618076 110996 LeahBaila 4 3618094 Thanks so much! I think I've (finally) made up my mind! Tue Apr 22 07:21:42 -0700 2008 3618083 15839 esyle 5 3649963 Just thought I would comment on my happy hour yesterday. It was fantastic. Everyone (especially Nikki the bartender) was incredibly friendly and took care of us from the minute we walked in the door. Nikki always seemed to sense when someone in my party needed a refill, she was incredibly attentive. All the food was great too. I would recommend it highly to anyone who asked. A really great night. Fri May 02 09:00:26 -0700 2008 3618094 15839 esyle 6 3652200 Do they still do the Blue Grass Brunches? We stumbled upon one there once. The food was great and the music was incredible. Fri May 02 20:26:54 -0700 2008 3649963 97633 BW212 7 3657009 Yes, according to the bartender they do. Mon May 05 06:20:03 -0700 2008 3652200 15839 esyle 6 3746766 Would you say it was good as a birthday place? Thinking of going with six friends or so. Want something that is fun, with good food and drinks that isn't too expensive... Tue Jun 03 16:44:47 -0700 2008 3649963 119715 lucyj 7 3749358 It's where we had my birthday so yes, absolutely. Just get there at 5 when they open to get a good part of the bar, or a table in the front. Wed Jun 04 11:46:43 -0700 2008 3746766 15839 esyle
