Easy for parking, was pretty quiet during brunch on a Saturday around 10am. Good flavor for the food we got - clam chowder was hearty, the sandwiches tasted great. My only gripe was it seemed overpriced for what we had (2 soups, 2 sandwiches and non alcoholic drinks (cold brew coffee & a soda) was almost $70 before tip).

This place is by me, so I decided I wanted to try it out to begin my birthday festivities and I am glad I did. The place is beautiful with plenty of seating. It has a full bar and plenty on the menu. The food is fresh and delicious, it did not take long to come out. The drinks we got were perfect (coffee and Mimosas) and our server was great. Definitely coming back!

Great spot for coffee and lunch. The breakfast is good, but it’s hard to blow you away with breakfast. Everything is always hot and fresh. Service is also always great. You also have the option of eating cafe style/counter service or in a seated restroom style. The full menu is available in both locations. I recommend the pizza for sure. The clam chowder is awesome!

Came to this cafe for a business meeting and loved it! It’s a coffee shop, bakery and restaurant. I had the tomato basil soup. It was delicious! My guests had the club sandwich and a salad. Everyone enjoyed their meal, which made the meeting even better. Food is such an important part in having successful relationships. This is a great place for a date as well.

Live close to this place and was hopeful it would be a good option instead of Starbucks for morning coffee, but don’t waste your money. Expensive and gross food. $12 for an iced coffee and day old croissant. I tried to order a cold brew from the menu but they didn’t have any. Next I ordered an almond croissant to go that was listed as $4 on the menu but it came up as $6 when I paid. Once I got home to eat it, it was hard as rock and was actually an old chocolate croissant that was cut in half with a knife and had almonds paste spread all over it. So gross and remarkable they had be the audacity to charge $6 bucks for this.

If you're looking for a lowkey brunch spot with summer brunch vibes, look no further! The staff is friendly & respectful, the interior is beautiful, parking is plentiful, and the noise level was just right. Visited for Saturday brunch. The menu has a decent variety of options. I went with the Shrimp Tagliatelle (pasta dish) which was fresh & filling. Bonus: their online menu has photos of everything- I love that! For drinks I had a pineapple mimosa (standard) and a chai tea latte (wasn't a fan, I think it may have included espresso which wasn't my preference, I'll confirm in advance next time). Overall I would recommend a visit + would return. I look forward to trying some of their bakery items next time. Thanks for the great service NoPo, keep it up 👏🏾

Stopped in for dinner and we were greeted kindly, parking is in the back of the building and you walk through the pastry shop back the the dinner area. It was Friday and the special was the gumbo, My GF had the special and she loved it I had the Reuben sandwich and it was also very delicious, the thin cut fries were very crunchy and flavorful. Additionallly they made my GF a Mexican Martini that was not one the menu a big thanks for that. We will be coming back

The atmosphere and ambiance was incredible here. Loved how it was small seating and a wall full of windows. Mark our waiter was great. He explained the concept and the special features of the day. He also recommend some items. The fritto misto was great.

Solid quiet breakfast spot. Great Place to meet a friend or to catch up on work. Service is swift. The breakfast tacos will fill you up and there's a coffee shop, faster service side and a dine in. The Staff are very nice and the price point for Breakfast or lunch is reasonable.

Brick building on Post Oak and plenty of parking with ample indoor and our patio seating. Pluses 1) Illy coffee 2) he enjoyed his breakfast plate 3) scone was good Areas to improve 1) my hash skillet $17 was salty and the extra $6 for bacon, it just wasn't that great. Mostly fat and not crispy bacon. I expect better. I would try again for other food items. The staff was friendly though.

We had a good breakfast at NoPo. There are two sides to the restaurant--one side that's the more casual, coffee-like shop with order-at-the-counter pastries and coffee, and the other side that's a sit-down restaurant. I had an omelette and thought it was good, as well as the hot tea that I ordered to with the omelette. Nothing crazy special, granted it is just an omelette. I'll be honest, it was pretty hard to get our server's attention, but the service was otherwise fine.

Wow this is my new favorite place! The food is excellent - more like a restaurant than a cafe/ bakery. Full bar with interesting cocktails. They even have plates like steak on the menu... I'm impressed. Definitely a hidden gem. Service was great. Very friendly young staff.

Very yummy! My waitress was super sweet to me and sat me and my daughter. My daughter wanted to sit outside, but I didn't so the waitress was very nice and accommodated me with a cup full of markers for my daughter's paper that she had to convince her to sit inside so that helped the seating situation. My daughter ordered a pepperoni pizza and I ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp. We were very happy..I'm editing this review because I wrote it after I ate and before the bill arrived, once I got the check I was shocked that my Cesar salad with $14 with an added $17 charge for the shrimp. I told the waiter that no one told me I was be charged $17 added as extra...! I asked him, "if you ordered a salad and wanted to add on a protein, would you still add a protein if you knew it would be an extra $17? The waiter replied, No, I wouldn't not." I was appalled at not being told that and said can you get the manager to reduce that because that's not reasonably priced and the manager returned to my table and I told her what happened. She said ok I'll got fix your check and when she came back she changed her mind and put the menu in front of me and said to me, you ordered the salad and said you wanted shrimp on your salad and it states it here in the menu the price, I said to her why would I be complaining about the price if I didn't see it? It messing tiny print. And I was appalled she was arguing and reneging on fixing the issue. She refused to fix it and was shaking and being totally unprofessional and not friendly at all. It actually upset me and I was with my daughter too. I will never come back to this place and I asked her for the owners name and she wouldn't give it to me. She seemed like she was under the age of 20 and I was in disbelief that she was a manager and was not professional. I will never come back here.

Stumbled upon this little gem and had a very good Old Fashioned at the bar along with a delicious, melt in your mouth hangar steak with perfect garlic fries! Service was a little awkward but nonetheless I can't wait to return and repeat my order!

I don't know how many stars to put here today. Ive been a regular here for years. My star will reflect my adamant disbelief in the news. I and others I know are incredibly disappointed in the new hours and the taking away of the Liqour license (that part is not posted on their door, with the 'Fall Hours' notice) and the fact that staff was given less than 1 week heads up that they won't have a job at the end of this weekend. The food has been ok over the years but the neighborhood bar that the area has been needing and has enjoyed as well the people who have relied and appreciated that what is needed is here are all unhappy with this situation as a whole. out NOPO- signed a regular.

Super cute cafe! Came for a private event and the staff was courteous, food came out timely, drinks were yummy and the food was of course great. Would definitely come back if in the area, to try again. Their pastries looked great too! The interior is quite specious, both inside and out, and parking is plentiful. Might not be the case once this complex gets filled up!

Fun little find, especially for breakfast and brunch! I needed a place that was open for actual breakfast hours for once (not just late brunch ). Not only do they open fairly early, but it was the perfect little spot to meet my friend to catch up! Some things about NoPo I really liked: - Opens early - Easy, free parking - Restaurant and a café/bakery (spaced apart with a little walkway where the restrooms are to separate the two vibes) - Fun ambiance with really pretty cocktail bar area - Outdoor seating options - Great breakfast options - literally had a hard time picking between some of the options - Delicious cappuccino with cinnamon for added flare - Healthy options too! I ordered the avocado toast, which in my opinion is almost always overpriced no matter where you get it in a restaurant these days ($16 here), but it was tasty and did have sprouts which was a nice touch. The waitstaff was very nice, and helpful with our needs. Overall a fun little spot that I will definitely be returning to!

Cute little place tucked out of the way on North Post Oak. Perfect to meet girlfriends or a quiet dinner. Our bartender, Mark, was a delight. He was engaging and super friendly - and spot on with the drinks. The guacamole app is highly recommended - fresh and the chips were crispy, with just the right amount of thickness. We split the prosciutto arugula pizza - DELISH! And leftovers the next day, just as delish.

The first photo is a fresh, crispy, gourmet Neapolitan style delight, and the second photo is a soggy, sloppy, greasy, heap of mess that looks and tastes like it came from your local grocers freezer section. NoPo used to make the first pizza and hit a home run with it every single time, now they make (and with a straight face charge 17 bucks) for something that looks like DiGiorno's worst. The manager handled my disappointment very professionally, so I have no complaints there. He told me they have switched to a new dough recipe. To me, that's code speak for we make it cheaper and lousier now. It's such an obvious downgrade in quality I don't know how they can serve that to people. This second pizza was even after they remade it. Again, management and staff handled the situation very well, but the food speaks louder than anything in the restaurant. I just don't find it up to their usual great standard. NoPo was one of our favorite go-to spots but I'm disappointed in how the recipes and quality has changed. The chicken tacos we ordered were also tasted meh, were messy, and also grossly overpriced.

My coworkers and I decided to try this place since it was across the street from our therapy office. We only had about 1.5 hours before returning to our returning employee orientation to kickstart the school year. It was still Houston Restaurant Weeks, so some of my coworkers opted for food on that menu. For a table of about 14, we were seated at a decent time. I had made reservations and called to confirm. The seats weren't ready, but it didn't take long to put tables and chairs together. It did take forever to place our orders and get our food. We rushed toward the end trying to pay. I had the club sandwich and fries. I thought the club was a bit dry and a small portion. The fries were delicious. My coworkers had larger portions from the HRW menu like the calamari. The pizza was also a nice personal size to take home. I was tempted to get dessert from the "To Go" area but opted against it... for now. I'll have to come back next time since it's just across the office.

I freakin love this place. It's been on my list to visit for a while so I stopped by to study on a Saturday. It was easy to find and they had ample parking available. I was greeted by the barista who deserves 5 stars alone. I had a blueberry muffin and an iced latte. Both were so delicious. The barista brought me a sample of their matcha with vanilla and it was really good. They also had a great playlist going. I was able to comfortably sit and study for a couple hours. I'll be back to try the restaurant side!

This little café is so cute and the service is pretty quick. The walls are lined with cowboy wallpaper, even in the bathroom! Came here for breakfast/brunch and it was not bad. I got the avocado toast which was like $16-$18? It comes with a mountain of alphalfa sprouts, egg whites, and tomatoes. It was pretty good, and a large portion enough for two people. The toast was soft inside, yet crunchy and buttery at the same time. I would get it again. The caramel latte was also good. There are parking spaces all around the building but during peak hours it can get pretty packed. Also, this is probably not the best place to spend hours at like you could at a coffee shop. It's more like a quick meal then they'll send you on your way. :) I need to come back and try more food since they are open for lunch and dinner as well!

I ordered an oat milk latte for dine in and WOW I don't know if I've ever had a latte this good. It's the perfect portion of espresso to oat milk. The staff was so friendly and they have a ton of delicious looking pastries that I will have to try next time. It's a cute shop! They have a cafe too with outdoor seating if you're getting breakfast. Otherwise they have some nice cute seating in the coffee shop area if you're just sipping coffee, getting work done or just relaxing. Got an iced coffee to go as well and it is JUST as amazing!! I got the caramel iced coffee and it's the perfect balance of coffee and caramel! So yummy.

Super yummy, and not so badly priced either. Do you want the best BLT you possibly have ever had? You should try the one here! Just be warned of a couple things- you'll want to have your BLT with blue cheese every time and since they use honey, your hands WILL be sticky. But it will be worth it.

Company Christmas party...phenomenal service provided by Ty, Brad Gabby and a sweet mom of three whose name escaped me as serveres and bartenders. The chefs were amazing, food and service were on point. I would totally recommend this place for your next engagement.

Overall this place was just ok. It didn't start off great cause it took a while just to be sat and then once we sat down, nobody came around to acknowledge us. I had to get up and ask the bartender if a waiter could come around to get our order. Once we got our water and coffees, we ordered the breakfast sandwich and the hash with over easy eggs. The sandwich was decent-it was better than the hash I thought. The potatoes in the hash were so dry. I ate as much as I could cause I didn't want it to go to waste. Overall, this was a below average experience. Checked it off the list but won't be back.

Pleasant atmosphere, great service, plus we enjoyed all the food we ordered. We will return. It might be helpful to know that there is a coffee shop immediately as you walk in the door. Continue walking and you will reach the restaurant proper. When we arrived, the restaurant was fully occupied by people with lunch reservations, but we were invited to sit in the coffee shop and still had full service. I think that this actually worked out better for us, as we appreciated the calm environment. Anyway, it would seem to be a good idea to arrive with reservations at popular times.

NoPo is a No Go!! While the interior decor and ambiance is great, that is probably the only "sparkle to you'll find at this establishment. Went for brunch on a Sunday, but boy was it disappointing...from food to service, this place really failed to deliver. We ordered the Tommy's Hash Skillet and it was literally so basic, something you can make at home!! Plain cut avocados, two eggs over easy and some potatoes. Then, we ordered the crème brûlée French toast, and it was literally just French toast with barely any crème brûlée flavor. What makes the crème brûlée unique is its crispy, crunchy toasted top, but nothing close to it on this dish! We clearly ordered the Tommy Hash and asked for the crème brûlée French toast but our server was very unapologetic and he thought we ordered dessert and instead of double checking he just assumed and implied that we ordered dessert. He didn't check the kitchen, or bother to notice that we hadn't gotten our French toast yet, and we had to flag down another server to check on it, and then he seemed to get annoyed With us for how many times we flagged Him down...we were practically done with our meal, and he didn't bother to check on our order, so we think he forgot...then for the cherry on top, he reveals true unprofessionalism by announcing the amount of our bill publicly. Unheard of!! He should keep the patrons privacy and not announce the amount, as my sister wanted to treat us to a lunch. There were other red flags throughout our dining experience, but those were the main ones. Food was less than average, and service was poor. We won't be coming back here after the experience we had...

Ordered the "house made crème brûlée brioche French toast" and it was literally 4 slices of the thinnest bread that had absolutely no flavor. Service was also horribly slow. Drinks came out super late and the food followed long after. Super disappointed because the place looked promising.

Food was meh, service was ok, and it was a cute place but people were waiting to be seated and once seated left. I get the concept of the place but maybe try and make the seating area larger or just being a place for quick and to-go. Not quite sure if this was American French, or Italian fare but was a little confused. The burger patty was very greasy, the calamari plate was fishy, and the service was just awfully slow for 12 tables and a few tables outside with 6 waitstaff and manager. I wouldn't go back unless you want to wait forever and have to flag someone down if you're on a time crunch.

Excellent. We need more places like this in Houston. It's the same great food from Berg hospitality but at at more reasonable prices. They have a fantastic menu and a happy hour.

NoPo is one of my favorite places in Houston! First and foremost, the service is exceptional. The local, "everybody knows your name," vibe of this place is the reason I come back again and again. Jewels and Brianna are incredible bartenders and servers. They and the rest of the staff are thoughtful, watchful, and mindful of what every guest needs, (and doesn't even know they want.) :) Grace and Brian manage this restaurant with skill, kindness, and efficiency. Food is good and comes out quickly, drinks are lightening-fast, but it's the service and the camaraderie at the bar that makes this spot a local "can't miss." For food recommendations I suggest the tomato basil soup, margarita pizza, fried chicken sandwich, short ribs, the weekly specials, and every single dessert in the case! The illy coffee is great and the baristas can make even the craziest of coffee orders. This is a busy spot at lunch so call ahead for a table or show up right at noon! The bar fills up at happy hour with amazing locals, too.

Moving into this neighborhood I was excited there was a restaurant within walking distance. My partner and I gave it many tries since the food is good. A little overpriced but hey it's 2024. If you get anything from this review, I hope management reads this -if you guys CLEAN HOUSE and get new staff with actual hospitality experience that want to be there (or at least try to fake it) the atmosphere would be elevated. We've been there many times and get disappointed each time. One of the servers he's a younger Hispanic guy we went for a drink and he says so is this "what you guys do." punish me and be passive aggressive for getting a drink? The woman - you can tell they don't wanna be there. They're just cold. If ask for anything, it feels seems a bother to them. There was only 1 guy who was fanatic he works at night. He made us want to go back. I wish I got his name to shout him out in this diamond in a rough environment. It's such a cute place to get desserts, food, coffee. I haven't been disappointed from anything that I've ordered, but if management can change the service it would go from ok to great!

Yay! I'm finally here and it's nice and cozy inside! Decoration and style is a little timeless for the Interrior, somewhat basic. At first glance there seems to be a lot of choices because the menu was physically big, however a handful of items were not available. For example only orange juice was in stock, out of there 4 juices choices. Our server, with the red glasses, explained that he "didn't know why" and that he "didn't know if the items would be back?" While we over heard him tell other guests "that the machine is broken." That said, service was awful; my party and I were offended during our visit. This place seems to be catered to a different crowed and a little racist towards Asians. Most of my group ordered the same items, some Tommy's Hash Skillet, and one had the Crème Brülé French Toast. Our server asked, "You guys aren't getting desert?" After completing our order. Our dishes came out but the French Toast never came. We had to pull our waiter and inquire about the missing order, sadly after everyone had finished eating. He pretended to not make a mistake when we asked about it by saying, "Oh I thought you ordered the desert" without making any efforts to apologize. The dish in question had finally arrived but our server quickly left without providing proper silverware. I was left to eat this with a knife. The waiters clearly saw me eating with the knife but never came by to ask if I needed a fork. I had to, once again pull our server (with the red glasses) and ask for a fork, while I was obviously eating with just a knife. Clearly unhappy that we pulled him over, he brought a whole plate of silverware for me to grab a fork with my grimy food stained hands. ((Yikes)). This said, I had tried everyone else's dish and I can say without bias of our waters service that the food was basic. Tommy's Hash Skillet is served on a plate, not on a sizzling skillet. It is 'luke-warm' and was not remotely close to a crispy hash (it was soft) and served with turkey bacon??? What was that? This dish came with some sliced avocado and eggs over easy, basic nothing spectacular; just that. I felt like it was missing a toast or waffle to balance the meal. The Crème Brülé French Toast, had "mixed berries" that should just be written out blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. It comes sprinkled in powdered sugar and a side of syrup. Nothing here screamed Créme Brülé. It was a regular soggy French Toast with a fancy title. We were clearly here to enjoy lunch as a group. It was obvious that one member was treating us to this meal. The server ended our dining experience by announcing the "cost of our whole bill" which was rude and impolite given the treat was to be a quiet expense. Sorry for the bad, yet honest review. I was really hoping to have a good experience here, but I stand by my first review, "NoPo is a NoPo", don't go here is not worth it. Racism is the reason for 1 star out of a general 3 star you would have gotten from me.

I've been to Nopo a few times now and every time I have been their service, food, and ambience has been amazing! The first time I tried their BLT and I wasn't a big fan because I did not read that it had blue cheese dressing. But the gentleman behind the bar was nice enough to have it made without it and it was great! If you like blue cheese I'm sure it would be even better. The second time I had their fried pickles and their Asian salad which all get 10/10 across the board for me! The pickles were crispy and the salad was fresh and their Asian vinaigrette was perfect. This last time I had the NoPo Club and it was perfect! The bread to meat ratio was perfect! (I hate when you get like a whole stack of meat and barely any bread) Overall this is one of my favorite lunch places! Their staff is always friendly, it is beautiful to dine in which I wish I did more often since I usually do takeout. And their food is always delicious and fresh!

As part of the Berg hospitality group NoPo is another addition to the list of restaurants. I like that its a combination of cafe located in the front, with the restaurant in the back. They also have a patio seating as the third option for seating, that is if you feel like melting like a cough drop in these temperatures. The cafe in the front you can order both savory and sweet dishes from their display area, while also providing the option to get some dry products too. The design is a modern French theme even with French bar help. The cafe is cute and casual, which I personally like that area better than the restaurant area. The restaurant area has a descent bar design, but the seating and the other area is a bit of a let down compared to the front, imo. The menu looks very scrumptous and lots of descent choices. You may ask why only three stars. Well it seems the two dishes I ordered maybe not the best dishes. I had the RH Salad which has jumbo shrimp and blue crab. Both seafood dishes tasty, but the dressing just didn't do it at all. Pretty benign and maybe something a little sweeter or creative. Would say a 2.5 star dish. The other dish I had was the fried chicken salad. I would say was a 3 star dish. I think I told the bartender it was missing some salt and the side salad again, not a fan of their dressing. Service at the bar was on point and good, 5 stars. Overall, I think the place is in early stages of tweaking their food and would suspect some of the other dishes will be tasty and look forward to trying them out. Maybe third visit is the charm.

Came back for shot three and was super happy with food and service!!! Maybe it just took some time to establish. Can't wait to go back and move it up. It was HRW and we made the snafu of mixing up communications with a friend, so we stayed longer than the normal lunch. They were so understanding and our server was very enjoyable. Friends got the tomato basil soup, cobb salad and salmon. All looked great, but I can't wait to come back and try the salmon. I got the beet salad and clam chowder. Beet salad here has not disappointed. The clam chowder, first glance from me, looked like it had too much bacon to make up for the lack of clams. 100% wrong, not too overpowering of bacon and good clam flavor. Think this place is associated with BB Lemon, if so, makes sense on good chowder.

I just happened to be in the area and wanted to try NOPO because a blogger I follow has tried it plus.... HRW! The food was very average... the only thing giving this place 4 stars is the chocolate mousse and the service. I dined with the HRW dinner menu. As a starter, I tried the baked oysters- not the best I've had but delicious nonetheless. As my main entree, I had the Shrimp Tagliatelle- it is definitely different than what I was expecting and out of my comfort zone when it comes to eating pasta.. very tasty. The main star to my dinner was the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE.... It was the cake layered in between the mousse for me! So rich in flavor! Overall.... food was good... wouldn't go out of my way to visit again though.

Great food. It was fresh and tasty. we tried the reuben [excellent!!] And the turkey sandwich [decent]. Portions are hearty. Excellent sangria carafe and cocktails. Service was prompt and thoughtful. Suprisingly not packed on a Sunday with a nice patio outside. Decor inside was really tasteful. Will absolutely return.

My friend and I really enjoyed everything about this place. We ordered from Houston Restaurant Weeks menu and the portions were bigger than expected and all was delicious. Service was great and ambiance was so nice. We definitely want to come back.

In my opinion, there is really nothing to review anymore since we can't have dinner there anymore. What a poor decision on the Berg Hospitality Group's part to discontinue dinner service. No Po was one of our favorite dinner places but a thing of the past now. Hope that maybe the powers that be will reconsider. Such a shame cause they had a good thing going.

This is such a cute spot for happy hour...if you can find the entrance lol which (pro tip) is actually behind the building as opposed to what's facing the street. Regardless, I was greeted warmly when I arrived and sat in the cafe area until my gf came. Once she came we walked down the short hallway to a charming dining area. We only got the drinks and the charcuterie plate and enjoyed both!

I love NoPo! The food is tasty and the portions are very good! Service has always been good and the ambiance has always been more than plenty. Their chicken and shrimp tacos are so good! (Shrimp could be cooked a little longer) but they're so tasty. The chicken salad sandwich is amazing!

Great new neighborhood cafe!! Love the cafe/deli concept. We went on HRW to give NoPo a try, so glad we did! Can't wait to go back! I had the Fritto for appetizer, PERFECT, nice light breading on the calamari, mussels and shrimp; I loved the jalapeno slices. This is a MUST HAVE when dining at NoPO. My wife had the Beet Salad, it was very good, beets tasted more like boiled rather than roasted, but good. The Seared Salmon was perfectly cooked med-rare as requested and large filet. Wasn't too crazy about the braised lentils, but the sauce was tasty. Wife had the Ricotta Tortellini, it was the star of the evening!! Covered with brown sage butter and a handful of hazelnuts were the perfect sauce for the Tortellini. I'll be ordering this our next visit; wife didn't let me have but one tortellini from her entree. Service is work in progress, very cordial staff, just getting used to the process. Great 6 seat bar in the dining room, and seating for about 30 people at tables. In the front is a "deli" style front with prepared dishes, deserts, pastries, and etc. Even has a "grocery shelf" with random items, and cold box with meats, drinks and etc.

If you're looking for a lowkey brunch spot with summer brunch vibes, look no further! The staff is friendly & respectful, the interior is beautiful, parking is plentiful, and the noise level was just right. Visited for Saturday brunch. The menu has a decent variety of options. I went with the Shrimp Tagliatelle (pasta dish) which was fresh & filling. Bonus: their online menu has photos of everything- I love that! For drinks I had a pineapple mimosa (standard) and a chai tea latte (wasn't a fan, I think it may have included espresso which wasn't my preference, I'll confirm in advance next time). Overall I would recommend a visit + would return. I look forward to trying some of their bakery items next time. Thanks for the great service NoPo, keep it up

I was excited to try NoPo. As big fans of BB Butchers, our expectations were high. The building is a bit off the beaten path and but when you walk in, you're met with beautiful decor and ambiance. Even the bathrooms are expertly decorated. We arrived at 10:40 and we were one of only 2 parties in the restaurant. We were told that lunch started at 11 so we ordered drinks and waited for lunch to start. We asked for the lunch menu to look at while we were waiting but the waitress said she couldn't even hand out the menu until 11. Strange. One of our mixed drinks was delicious. The other was too sour and not even drinkable so we had to send it back. We ordered the calamari and shrimp as an appetizer and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly crispy and well seasoned. The addition of peppers was so great and the dipping sauces were spot on. Unfortunately, that's where our amazement with the food ended. Bring big fans of BB Butchers steaks, we had high hopes for the beef at NoPo and ordered the burger and steak sandwich. Both were extremely under seasoned and flavorless. Definitely not what you would expect from a burger with that price tag. Overall, we wished we would have just ordered the calamari's and stopped there.

Place is pretty spacious. Unfortunately, when I came here they didn't have any juice options. They don't have too many coffee/tea options but they have alcohol at the bar if you want to chill there, too. Wasn't crowded at all during the weekend, so it was a good study place (although they have music just FYI). They have a lot of food and pastry options so it could serve as a good brunch spot, too.

We enjoyed it throughly. We took our kids to happy hour at 4:30pm. We got the spinach dip, sliders and pizza "mix"' All great! Our 17 month old daughter ate everything! Looks like they are still working out some kinks with staff. Our waiter seemed new and was very kind. We will definitely come back and enjoy the full menus with cocktails!

This was my first time tryin NoPo for lunch and I have to say I will be back! But with my girls! Here's my thoughts: I truly enjoyed the environment and brightness as soon as I went in. It has a chic and cozy feeling. The Staff was very welcoming and the service was great. Everyone had a smile on. They have a good selection in their menu and did i mention cocktails! The food and the portion was great. I can't complain because me and my husband left satisfied. Not stuffed or hungry. This will be a great place for the girls and to have a one on one meeting. It's definitely a cute place.

Cute place! Bright fresh flavors and smiling attentive staff. Tomato soup hit the spot on this cold day. Chicken paillado was great and my dessert of Tiramisu was FANTASTIC! I will definitely be back! They have a full bar and this is a great date place.

Service & Breakfast! Throughly enjoyed our breakfast! The Crème brûlée French toast was absolutely amazing! Someone in my party ordered the Tommy's Hash Skillet and omg THAT BACON! out of this world. I wish we could've gotten a side order by it self. (spinach dip wasn't my favorite) Tonya our server was the absolute best! When in Houston i'll be back!
