Master Critic Review

Bistro 29 8.1
NoMad
Ace Hotel’s new NoMad bistro plays French classics straight but with a lighter modern hand and an open-kitchen buzz. The menu is built around bistro anchors—steak au poivre, mussels, and poultry—delivered with polished restraint.
Must-Try Dishes: Steak au poivre with pommes frites, Duck egg en cocotte, Moules marinières
