Mediterranean dishes with wood-fired flavors and great vibes
"At Mama Mezze in Nomad, the owner of La Pecora Bianca and the chef behind Balaboosta are going the Eastern-Mediterranean route, with dishes like green goddess falafel and honey-harissa jumbo shrimp. The window-lined spot has a citrus tree parked in the middle, and their cocktail offerings include the obligatory espresso martini (this time with tahini)." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim

Decorated with orange and olive trees, the room seats 100 inside and 40 outside, with 65 more seats 'on the way,' and a Moroccan-themed lounge slated to open in the fall." - Beth Landman
