“ Fantastic service and food! My wife and I enjoyed this very much, particularly the Caprese salad, the scallops, and the nosh burger! The food was delicious and unique without being pretentious and the outdoor patio was next level! Really enjoyed this restaurant – the inside is a little loud and dark, but the outsideis extremely pleasant. The service was very attentive. Five stars! ”
“ The BEST place in Winona for a memorable meal and drinks. Great variety in the menu. Atmosphere is lovely too! Can be loud sometimes but there is a side room and outdoor seating as well. ”
“ Our server was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was fabulous! And they are very accommodating with people who have food allergies and/or specific diets. I am vegetarian and they made me an amazing dish!!! Prices aren't too bad. ”
“ Reminiscent of a swanky New York or Chicago restaurant, Nosh serves up amazing food at a chef owned restaurant with a daily menu featuring never frozen, fresh seafood at reasonable prices. The cocktail selection is excellent and no shortcuts were taken with my smoke on the water cocktail which was reasonably only 10. I started with a very and arugula salad, which tasted perfectly fresh (this is a farm to table place) and was served with the best foccocia bread in which I have ever indulged. I then ordered scallops, which were seared perfectly, but the risotto bed was a bit light on flavor. The service was perfectly timed, prompt, and professional. Were this in the cities, it would be a go to place for me. I highly recommend coming here, and do make reservations. ”
“ Four of us went to Nosh based on a recommendation we received. We were blown away. Everything completely exceeded our expectations. Every single item we ordered was absolutely incredible. I've never been happier with the quality and complexity of the food at a restaurant in my life. We live 3 hours away, but will definitely make it a point to come back. I can't recommend this restaurant and incredibly talented chef enough! ”

Very flavorful and plated beautifully. We will definitely be coming back! ”
“ A Hidden Gem in Winona, WI – Even Better the Second Time Just a hop, skip, and a jump off the Great Wisconsin River Road along the Mississippi, the charming town of Winona (population 26,000) is a place we stumbled upon a year ago and discovered Nosh. My husband and I were so impressed during our first visit that we made a point to return a year later, this time bringing our daughter and son-in-law. It was even better the second time around. You know how rare it is when a restaurant exceeds your expectations on a return visit? Nosh pulled it off with ease. From the first bite of appetizers, deviled eggs with caviar and wings, to the last spoon of a rhubarb dessert, every dish was flawless. The seared salmon had a crisp crust like no other. The hanger steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender and cooked to perfection. One of the evening’s specials, the Picanha, was so flavorful and unbelievably tender. The sides, like the grilled wedge salad, polenta and the bread with butter aioli were as tasty as each main dish. I could go on... but you really just need to taste it for yourself. Beyond the food, the service was just as memorable. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming, but a special shout-out goes to our server, Sadie. She was spot-on with her recommendations and on top of that, she was kind, attentive, and added a personal touch that elevated the whole experience. And to the Chef, thank you. Even though you were juggling a large group event that evening, you still took a moment to offer a thumbs-up through the kitchen window for a quick photo. That simple gesture matched the spirit of Nosh, welcoming, sincere, and unforgettable. Who would’ve thought you could get such a big city dining experience in a beautiful little river town like Winona? If you're anywhere near the area, take the detour. You’ll be glad you did. ”
“ Banger meal for a hot date night! Everything on the menu looked great. Everything we ordered WAS great! Started with a mushroom dish and the deviled eggs (perfect). Pesto chicken pasta and the paella were our mains of choice, and gosh, they were both wonderful. Finished off with a creme brulee. I recommend splitting some starters, main and dessert, to spark some conversation about the food and personal preferences. I can't wait to come back for another meal! ”
