My wife and I made our first visit to Nyla's to celebrate my birthday. We decided to forego the valet parking since there was free street parking available close by. We made reservations the day before, but they weren’t overly busy on that Wednesday evening, and I think we would have been seated quickly regardless. We were warmly greeted by the valet crew, the hostesses at the door, and then by our server, Caroline. Caroline was exceptionally good and made us feel welcome and comfortable. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant, and was articulate, friendly, and excellent in every way. We started our meal with the stuffed mushrooms. l thought they were delicious, but my wife thought they were good but not great. For my entree and sides, I had the Chicken Milanese with mashed potatoes, broccolini and fresh wedge salad with a tangy vinaigrette. My wife ordered the blackened shrimp and zucchini pasta with cream of mushroom soup. As usual, we shared everything. The wedge salad and cream of mushroom soup were both 10 out of 10. My Chicken Milanese was good, with just the right amount of breading and good seasoning and presentation. It could have had a little more flavor, but still very good. I preferred the blackened shrimp with zucchini pasta, with the highlight being the shrimp; the flavor and cook were perfect. The portion sizes were just right. We finished our evening with a complimentary chocolate chip cookie and vanilla ice cream (it was my birthday). It...
Read moreBeen to Nylas twice in a span of two months. Right now this is probably my fav spot in the north Hamilton county area. Valet is included, both times we reserved and were let in and shown to our table immediately after arriving. First time had dinner in the second floor, just with the wife. Second time brought family along and we were sat on the 1st floor. Both times the service and waiters were excellent. They know the menu, they know what to recommend, very professional and polite. Have had a few drinks but always comeback to the cookie infused old fashion. That thing is very tasty and gets better as it sits for a bit. The food is amazing. The mushroom cream soup is nothing short of addicting. I would probably eat that by the pint. Crab stuffed shrooms were great, devil eggs were great. The candied bacon was tasty. Lamb chops were superb, full of flavor. Chimichurri was very good (rare outside of Miami or a latín area to get chimichurri right), cooked to perfection, good portion. The NY strip was cooked perfectly. This is going to sound wild, but I rather eat a steak here than St. Elmos. au Gratin potatoes were splendid. Steakhouse Mushroom were a surprise, sweet, salty, very tasty. You can taste a lot of french influence in their cooking. Again, excellent location. A gem in the north...
Read moreOur first experience here was to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and it will not be our last! The seating area inside is intimate and it was packed. It was a beautiful evening so we chose to sit outside. Our server Zach was fantastic and made helpful suggestions on the apps. The true star here is the food. We had the deviled eggs to start at Zach's encouragement. He was not wrong - they are the best deviled eggs I've ever had. The cream of mushroom soup was also in a league of its own. I devoured this entire bowl - and I am not exaggerating when I say I typically do NOT like mushrooms. Finally, my NY Strip - which I order medium-well. The server had me cut in to test when he delivered, i always appreciate this. And I was happy to find it was indeed cooked to perfection. No steak sauce needed - every bite was delicious! My wife had the Chicken Malanese, which means I got to have her leftover Chicken Malanese the following day - another home run! I've gone on alot about the food here to make a point - THE FOOD IS AMAZING HERE! I am turning 50 next month and this is where I want to celebrate! Thank you for an outstanding dining experience. P.S. - if your looking for a cocktail, the Aviation definitely lives up...
