★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gina Canino · Mar 2026

Best way to describe Nana’s is fancy retirement home food. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good food. However, the flavors are very one-dimensional and lack creativity. Additionally, we had a reservation for 8:30PM and were seated at 9:08PM.

Wonderful restaurant. Very tasty and beautifully presented dishes. We showed up without a reservation and couldn't find a seat. We were disappointed, but decided to make a reservation later in the evening and come back. I didn't regret our decision at all. At 8:30 pm we were still able to order the chief special filet mignon, which melted in my mouths and left me wanting nothing more even though the dish came with delicious potatoes with cheese and broccoli. But the meat was so incredibly delicious that I couldn't look at anything else. I was just happy that we ordered the chicken liver soufflé before the main course. It's such a tender pâté! And the caramelized onions served with it were simply beyond praise. I can add that even the toasted bread served with the chicken pâté looked and ta

Had a great time celebrating Valentine’s Day a little early on the 13th here. The only reason it doesn’t get a full 5 starts is due to the very beginning of our experience here. We had a reservation for 7:30 and got in around 7:40 and were advised the table was still not ready. With it being VDay weekend we completely understood but after being told we could sit at the bar to wait and us checking the bar and seeing 0 spots available we asked if there was another place to wait and were advised to just stand wherever felt comfortable. Another host came by and offered those exact same words. In the end we waited out by the exit (really cold) because there was no place to stand and we didn’t have any comfort there since it was our first time here. Would recommend hosts find different verbiage

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Chery Zheng · Oct 2025

Took my parents here. Ordered foie gras, grilled oysters, lamb shoulder and grilled whole fish. The four gras was done well, not overly fatty. Grilled oysters were just ok. The taste of the air didn't really blend well with the freshness of oysters. The lamb came with veggies on the side and ravioli on top. The sauce was extremely salty. And the meat, although fell apart when you cut it, did not melt in your mouth. The fish was kinda meh. Again the butter sauce didn't compliment the freshness too well, and the presentation was not very pleasant. We also had NA sparkling rose and tiramisu. The rose was expensive ($59 per bottle and only comes in bottles), and while it was fruity and sweet, it was also watery. It just seems like everything was a weird mixture of flavors. The tiramisu was t

★★★★★ 5.0 Keith · Aug 2025

Loved it! Neighbor told me today that he had dinner at Nanas and they were very happy with their meals. He especially recommended the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Having been at a loss for a place to eat, I immediately made a reservation for my wife and I for that same night. Walking into Nanas, I immediately liked the vibe. Hostess was very welcoming, and our table was immediately available. So far so good. Started off with a Manhattan up, and it was perfect! Put our order in for the soufflé since it takes 25 minutes to prepare. Ordered the SC Peach salad as a starter. The flavors were incredible. Crispy okra, peaches, butter beans, cilantro, and a host of other flavors. Great start. For our main meals I had the SC Snapper, which was a special, and my wife had the NC cast iron grille
