Top tier !! Lovely place for fresh and flavorful food. I only had a party of three but staff were very attentive to the needs of the table. The waitress did suggest her favorites and most popular dishes after being prompted.

My first outing to this restaurant was amazing. Started with the seasonal tomato salad and a watermelon margarita as highly recommended by Dana (my server) and they were delicious. Next had a perfect filet mignon and roasted red potatoes (the potatoes tasted amazing with the sauce that came with the steak… the steak itself didn’t need sauce since it was already tasty as is). And because I’m celebrating my birthday, she brought me ice cream with a candle This was a birthday treat for myself and I knocked it out the park

100/10!!! Could not have been better. Wes and Jared were incredible and the service was impeccable. We got the heirloom tomato appetizer, filet mignons, and various sides. Everything was exquisite and the filet was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had (and that’s saying something). The owner also came by and was very very nice. We can’t wait to come back!

My boyfriend and I visited Nanasteak for my birthday. It was absolutely perfect! We had an early reservation but the place filled up quickly. We both got the filet mignon and shared a side of fries, broccoli, and Mac and cheese. We also ordered wine and bread. Everything tasted great! Didn’t order dessert because we were so full but our waitress brought out some ice cream with a candle. It was a sweet touch! Parking was free in the deck (make sure you tell any attendant that you are dining) and a close walk. Highly recommend Nanasteak for a nice dinner.

You need reservations to dine in. If you’re watching a show at DPAC server will make sure you get there on time as to not hurry your fine dining experience. Bar sitting also offer different menus from the table settings. Really good food and big serving too.

Absolutely wonderful. Very convenient to DPAC it truly completed y the night at the theatre. We were very lucky to arrive at opening and didn’t need a reservation. Next time we will make one to ensure we can get in. I think there are some people that do not realize it is fine dining but with a relaxed casual atmosphere. I overheard a few people talking about prices. The steaks were almost forty tender and cooked to perfection. The green beans and onions were so good that even though the portion was large enough to share we had wished we had gotten our own. We were a bit disappointed in the house salad, it was a bit lacking. I felt like ten dollars for a bunch of lettuce with a very few tomatoes and very few pieces of cucumbers want worth it. There were also quite a few wilted pieces of lettuce and some that was turning that pinkish color. I expected a better quality than what was served. We did not partake in alcohol but heard several people talking about how much they were enjoying their drinks. When we come back we are going to skip the salad and rolls, we will opt for an appetizer. The rolls were very good, I’m not sure what type they are but they have a nice crisp browned crust served with a sweet butter, we weren’t fond of the texture. It was airy but a bit dry. Over all we definitely enjoyed it and will be coming back.

It took an hour to get our food. An hour. The food was tasty and the service would have been excellent had she stayed on top of the kitchen about why our order was taking so long. Maybe she did? I have no idea. They have a lot of gluten free options and will point you to an app you have to register on the spot to use, that will filter the menu by allergen/intolerance. They have a dedicated fryer for fries.

Great, albeit limited food menu. Drink menu was very strong and the service was top notch. My steak was a once in a lifetime type dish. This is definitely a place to go for a special occasion or a high-end date.
