Not often do I find the perfect place. Amazing apps. The best Cuban I have ever had and the drinks were delicious. I will be back and you should give it a try and let me know what you think! I highly recommend the charcuterie board! The mustard should be bottled and sold.

Dylan was an amazing server / bartender. He was very personable and made the BEST Espresso Martini I have ever had. The food was delicious as well!

Best grilled cheese I’ve ever had! Sweet (peaches), savory (bacon), spicy (jalapeño) and - the most brilliant part - goat cheese! Never had anything like it. So glad I tried it! My husband had shrimp and grits and that was very good too. We were driving through Mankato and almost didn’t go because the description said “fine-casual dining” and I had sweatpants on. We drove by and saw that all the wait staff had jeans so I felt comfortable going in. It was fine. Dress was casual but food is upscale.

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I was previously unaware of it, even though I was familiar with the larger Mankato area. It's located in downtown, but it's right next to the parking ramp, so parking should be easy enough. The food was by far the best part. Relatively inexpensive entrees but the food quality surpasses what they charge. Compared to other restaurants, I would've expected $40+ per plate with how good it is. They also have great, unique cocktails and the service is good too. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.

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.

Food was great. I came with coworkers and got the burnt ends and roasted brussel spouts as appetizers. I ended with the roasted chicken legs for my main dish and omg so good! The waiter we had said she was in college and was so sweet and personable! The drink i had was really good peach something but cant remember the name.

Our dinner at Nolabelle was absolutely wonderful! We sat outside on a perfect fall evening and enjoyed a couple of cocktails followed by their delectable Short Rib Egg Rolls. They were so delicious and filling that we each got a salad. We shared the Apple + Arugula salad with Pulled Chicken and the Thai Peanut + Pork Belly, which was probably the best salad I’ve ever eaten!

You could taste the freshness of everything. I really appreciated the fact that there was a very nice mocktail menu (I had to ask for it separately, but many places don't even have one). There is no need to settle for a Shirley Temple or Virgin Mary here. I chose something with a cranberry orange shrub that was so pretty and refreshing, it got me googling shrubs and wondering if I could make one. The chicken and waffles were fun, with the addition of cheese in the waffle batter. Not so much that it was obviously cheesy, but it was the perfect hint, very well done. I was able to order the spicy honey on the side with no question. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious. The grits & eggs with sausage and shaved brussels sprouts was fantastic and filling. Heads up, the menu says they're cheddar grits, but they're actually cheddar JALAPEÑO grits. That can be a bonus for some and a sealant to others. Fortunately, it was a bonus for my spouse, but I couldn't have eaten the grits as the jalapeños could not simply be picked out. I would have liked to see the menu labeled more clearly as people with nightshade intolerance/allergies need to avoid them, and for people who just don't like jalapeños. We had a reservation near the end of brunch, so the place wasn't terribly crowded. However, it was still very noisy with the loud echoing inside. I was thankful we didn't bring a family member with a hearing aid because it would have been taken out immediately. I would love to go back and sit outside if the weather allows. We need more high-quality, independently-owned local scratch kitchens like this.

We go here for all our special events. Everything on the menu is delicious from the cocktails (both N/A and alcoholic). We can't help but order dessert every time. The vegan tres leches is amazingly good and so is the chocolate torte. The wait staff is friendly and responsive and the atmosphere is clean, bright, laid-back enough to feel comfortable but nice-enough to dress up for.

Great atmosphere and service. All the food was delicious and presented beautifully. Best steak I've had in a very long time! Can't wait to go back for brunch!

Great dishes and great quality food in a very nice downtown location. Chill vibe with a good bourbon, beer and wine selection. Tried almost all the items in the menu and u can’t go wrong with any of them. My favorite- shrimp with grits. Try a fried egg on top for an authentic southern experience. At lunch time it can be short on staff and service can be slow. Highly recommended

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!

Kind of strange food but on the other hand it was something different and healthy.. That squash steak is amazing.... That :) dark haired waitress we had was just sweet as could be... I would definitely go back...

Visited for the first (and last) time tonight. Incredibly underwhelmed, to say the least. Watched my Schnitzel Cubano sit in the pass for at least five minutes (wife says closer to ten) while they made her salad. Sandwich was lukewarm, meat was tough, and the homemade chips were some of the blandest food I've eaten in ages. (Ever heard of salt?) Our waiter knew it was languishing there but didn't even say anything to the kitchen and eventually served it up like it was just business as usual. Wasn't interested in complaining and having to wait for them to remake it. I know the place has a good reputation, but we won't be going back. 😮‍💨

On our way to the cities and stopped because it looked like good food on our search. There was no wait, service was top notch, and food was really good. We shared bites of several dishes and it was all delicious. My twelve year old said "I'd certainly eat there again! "

Very nice. Excellent food. Our waiter was good however noticed the service wasn’t a team effort. Think I would have a different vibe if everyone worked together. Still a good experience and definitely recommend.

Personally Nolabelle isn't for me. Their menu comes off a bit pretentious, like it's trying to hard. But that's my opinion. For the facts. Their wait staff is great, my wife had a hair in her blackened salmon and they made her a new one right away. The kitchen staff, I don't know. I ordered my burger well done with a runny egg on it. I got a medium burger with a hard egg. Also, a plain burger shouldn't cost that much and all burgers should automatically come with fries. Throw a few more burger options (I recommend throwing some of that bomb Mac and cheese on a burger) on the menu and lower the price a couple bucks, include fries with burgers.
