We sat at the bar for our dinner and Rob took great care of us. We had the chorizo meatballs, lobster hush puppies and the shrimp risotto. Also had some nice cocktails. The only disappointment was the lobster hush puppies- no discernible lobster and extremely mushy texture. We love the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere of HN and go the regularly for dinner and occasionally a show. Highly recommend this local restaurant and music venue.

Thanks for the kind words, Susan! The hush puppies definitely have lobster and should be crisp and hot. We apologize if yours didn't hit that mark. Again, many thanks!

The food-Amish chicken for me, shrimp risotto for my husband- was delicious. And our server was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant was pretty quiet; we were there right at 5 pm. The day was quite hot so we opted to dine inside, but the open windows provided a nice breeze and gave the feeling of being outside. We’ve been to Hey Nonny only a few times, but it’s quickly becoming a favorite!

Food was really great. Beet salad was OUTSTANDING! Salmon was delicious. Service was a little off. Aviations, tequila cocktails were great. Cosmo was not the typical …bust night so maybe bartender got distracted.

Went for happy hour specials, stayed for dinner. Interesting cocktail list and happy hour bites. Sitting outside made it very pleasant. Nice dinners, well prepared and presented. We had steak and salmon, both were very good

The food was delicious but a bit pricey for the small amount of food that was served. Ambience was great but we had to talk over the live music to hear each other. I asked our server about a drink that had pina colada in it but I didn't quite hear that it was only available on Fridays. The tone of the server sounded like she wasn't happy with having to repeat herself. Oh well. However, we did get an opportunity to meet the owners and they were very friendly and spent time talking to us. That was pretty cool. Overall, it was a good experience.

I’ve been eating dinner at Hey Nonny since it opened. The food has always been exceptional yet my last two visits, something seemed very different. The menu seemed abbreviated and had items on it that I’d not seen before. Same with dessert menu. I don’t like to complain but I want our great local restaurants to do well. Thought feedback was necessary. Our server, Jason, was exceptional!
