Visited on a weekday noon time, end of July. I'm solely going to address the Cubano sandwich and sevice in this review as they were the most agregious failure of the meal, nevermind the rest of the meal and its shortcomings. The Cubano was served on such dense, thick and bready bread that it was almost wholly inedible. On the menu it's described as "pressed ciabatta", which this clearly wasn't. Ciabatta is light, airy and crispy. This was dense and so heavy that I as a bigger guy only finished half of the sandwich. Apparently Nolabelle thinks so little of their customer base they figured this would fly? From images I've seen posted they've since addressed the bread issue, but that didn't do me any good on my visit. I realize I should've mentioned this in person at the restaurant while dining, but the service was so stuffy that they had already made us feel like we didn't belong there so I honestly didn't want to raise a stink. As soon as we had slowed down on eating our meal our server was asking if we wanted boxes, 3 more times before we finally left we were asked if we were ready for a check despite the patio we were attempting to have a relaxing meal and drinks on being 3/4 empty at noon on a weekday. It's clear we weren't welcome there, they surely did accept the $100+tip for a lunch for 3 (only one alcoholic beverage ordered as we chose to take those dollars elsewhere) readily though. Very disappointing.
Absolutely fantastic in every way! Great food and friendly staff. Had two dinners and a lunch during our three day stay in Mankato. All were consistent and fantastic.
Stopped by NolaBelle Kitchen and Bar for a late lunch while in town. Had the Schnitzel Cubano. Others in our party had the Turkey Avocado sandwich, Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich, and Buffalo Chicken Street Tacos. Service and the dishes were excellent!
Hands down my favorite breakfast spot. I wish I could eat here every day! Such a fun twist on all their menu items. The pan perdue and avocado toast are my favorites!
We went there for lunch after seeing all the reviews. It's a gorgeous place, very quaint, all food came beautifully presented. Flavorwise, the Arugula & Apple salad was absolutely fantastic, very well seasoned, fresh and exciting! The Shrimp PoBoy was beautiful, a bit too sweet for me and half the size of the bread would be just perfect. Cucumber mule mocktail was very refreshing, but could have a little less ginger - and I love ginger. The service should fit the atmosphere too, otherwise 5 stars.
Wow! My girlfriend found this place and made reservations for a date night for us. We live about an hour away. Somehow had never heard of this establishment.Definitely make reservations to secure a table as this place has quite a buzz! There wasn't an empty table the entire time we were in.Food was great. Very fresh and light. We kind of went all out being that we've done a lot of traveling this year and wanted a feel of items across the menu. But even with ordering 2 alcoholic drinks, a starter, 2 dinner items, an extra side, and dessert we were only at $100.Very impressed and are already talking to friends about bringing a group up to share the experience!
Great service! Food was very good. I had lamb burger(num), also the truffle chips were super yummy.Cubans sandwich did lack flavor, I wondered if they forgot an ingredient. Fries were very good, spicy fried chicken sandwich was good, not so spicy. Butter cake - very good, rich, we shared it by 4 of us. Glad we did. I would definitely go back. Cocktails were very good.
It was a post graduation celebration brunch. Loved this restaurant, the food was delicious & not your typical brunch foods or adult beverages, that’s what I love about this place! Employees are absolutely wonderful as well.
great menu choices and great service
Amazing place to gather for all occasions! Great food, awesome service and tasty drinks
