Nomad Eatery

An excellent, semi-casual eatery with largely Mediterranean and French inspired fare; complimented by a reasonably sized selection of wines and cocktails. The hummus & pita (nomad bread?) appetizer was excellent, and the freshly baked pita was slightly crispy & fluffy. The feta stuff lamb honestly could've used more feta - both stuffed in the lamb and in the quinoa side - but overall the meat was excellent. The quinoa, spinach, tomatoe medley as the side was decent, but was somewhat on the under seasoned side compared to the rest of the dish and needed to have been better drained of water before serving. Overall, an excellent choice for a nice dinner or drink with friends if you're in the El Segundo area, but be forewarned its a bit pricey.

Nomad Eatery is that quietly stylish spot that knows exactly who it is — no need to shout, just beautifully executed details across the board. The indoor-outdoor layout is charming, with warm wood textures, hanging plants, and great natural light. (Bonus: The patio is actually pleasant — no sad umbrellas or traffic noise.) The burgers? Excellent. Juicy, perfectly cooked, served with a fried egg if you like living dangerously — and crisp fries that actually taste like potatoes, not regret. The lemonade was refreshing, and their rotating beer list is a fun bonus. Mine came in a mason jar, which usually makes me roll my eyes… but here, it worked. Service was friendly but chill — no rush, no fuss. You could come here with friends, or a laptop, or a book and stay a while. I will.

This was my second time at Nina’s for lunch. First time was right after the pandemic. I was joined by 4 colleagues and this was during the dine LA week when they also have a special two course menu for $25 which is a great value. The restaurant was half full. I ordered the chopped salad that was full of chicken and salami and was well put together with a nice dressing. It was a solid 4.5 star. 3 of my colleagues really enjoyed their food. One unfortunately had some issues as her order was mixed up initially and her steak was over cooked. Nice ambiance and plenty of parking outside. The chef or the proprietor came by during our lunch to see if we had been there before and check on on how we liked the food. He said they are mostly known for their skewers.

Great find that a coworker said would be added to their date night rotation. Great selection of dishes to appease everyone in your party. Lots of seating options for groups small and large with a couple tables next to the fire place which is where we sat when we went. Overall a great venue with good service - the hummus and pita was stellar and the veggie burger had a bit of a kick to it that made it stand out from the norm!

We love Nomad, especially during Dine LA where we get to enjoy a 3-course meal at a set price. By making it a date night, we get to experience 6 different items with flavors and ingredients from different parts of the world. My favorite today was the sea bass, it was beautifully served, raw, I was very pleasantly surprised. I almost asked for chopsticks until my wife reminded me this is a Mediterranean dish. I forked it and it was amazing, fresh and tasty, highly recommended! The short ribs is usually favorite, it came out nicely, falling off the bones, only thing was the sauce was a bit salty for me. I wish there was a side of rice or bread, ha ha. May be I will ask the polenta to be in the side in the future. My wife had the Hummus Meeze board, we loved everything on it and wish there
