"My husband and I chose Kincaid Grill for our 15th anniversary after hearing rave reviews from friends. It’s in an unassuming strip mall. The place is clean and the tables are well-set. The staff is dressed neatly and professionally. The wall decor is cheesy—that’s about the only negative thing I can think to say. The clams we had as an appetizer were absolutely fantastic with their Asian flavors (lemongrass, ginger, coconut, kaffir like, and cilantro). We wanted to drink the broth from the bowl. My husband’s halibut was great, but the standout was the filet. Upon hearing that it was coffee-rubbed, I was nervous that it would taste like coffee. No—the chef knows what they’re doing—the flavor was exceptional. It was cooked medium rare to perfection. The mashed potatoes were a bit plain, but they allowed the meat to really stand out. The service was exceptional. My water glass did not dip below half full. Our dishes did not clutter our table for more than a minute or two, yet we felt we were afforded privacy. They gave us a dessert for free for our anniversary. I feel like this is the kind of place where, if they did mess anything up, they’d make it right and you’d want to return again. However, based on what we experienced last night, I’d be shocked if there was a misstep. Thank you, Regina, for a lovely evening! Dietary restrictions: Overheard a server saying most items were gluten free they can accommodate where possible."

"Came here for dinner with my boyfriend because I 've heard about how good their gluten free menu options are and my boyfriend has celiac so reputable GF kitchens are so important. Whenever we make reservations we always note that we are eating GF and make sure to tell the waiter as we order, and noted that he did mark it down. However, my boyfriend was glutened after eating here which bums me out so much! Maybe it was a mixup in the kitchen or some accidental cross contamination which happens, but when a menu is voted as the best GF menu I think I do expect a little more. Their menu does say that they cannot guarantee a 100% GF kitchen, but they do take precautions against cross contamination. We ordered the calamari to start; we 're pretty sure this is how he got glutened but because the dish is on the gluten free menu we assumed it would be fried separately? In the moment it was really good, and the aioli was great. For mains, I tried the Bobby Flay Throwdown Winner (a zucchini lasagna) and my boyfriend ordered the cappesante (a mascarpone sauce pasta with scallops). We were a little underwhelmed for the price of the entrées. The lasagna was good, but better reheated the next day--something I don 't really expect when paying $30 for a veggie lasagna to be completely honest. The cappesante had a really overwhelming lemon flavor that put my boyfriend off, but I didn 't really mind a few days later (after reheating). The scallops on his pasta were cooked nicely. We went in on a Thursday evening and it was busier than I thought it would be, at some points every single seat was filled. We had to wait a long time before our waiter even came by the first time (enough time for both of us to go to the bathroom and come back and finish our water). The ambiance of Nebo is really nice, I loved the look of the interior and I 'm a sucker for good ambient lighting. Maybe we came here on an off day, but for the price and after effects of glutening, I can 't strongly recommend Nebo."

"One of my favorite local restaurants because of their amazing food and drinks. I normally order a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board, but I wanted to try something different this time. My sister got a lemon drop mocktail which was a little sour, but just the right amount. She said it was delicious I had the Penelope Pussycat which had Bacoo 8 year aged rum, Liqueur de Violette, and lemon juice. The drink had such a pretty color and had an interesting flavor to it as well!For appetizers, we had the Gambas al Aljillo which had a nice corn salsa to go along with it. We also had the Roasted Cauliflower which was cooked perfectly and the Beef Kushiyaki which came with chilled soba noodles. The Beef Kushiyaki was something so unique that I would not have thought I was in a wine bar. It was so flavorful! For our entree we got the Black Truffl'd Fettucine. The pasta was a bit bland, and I was surprised because I usually always order that pasta and it's my favorite. I think the sauce might have been a bit watered down. For dessert we had some tea and the Meritagewich' which comes with homemade chocolate chip cookies. The tea and dessert was perfect for a cold day!I definitely recommend trying this place out with a few friends and ordering a bunch of small plates to share. This way you can try a bit of everything. I really loved every single small plate we ordered! Thank you so much to the staff that made our experience a pleasant one"
