I booked Nick and Nora’s for my birthday in January and it was a wonderful success.The night’s weather was a classic moody Melbourne experience with a hot day which turned into showers at night. I had originally booked outside but called ahead, because of the weather, to check if it was possible to move us inside. The host accommodated my booking with ease, even saying “with our bookings tonight and Melbournes unpredictability, you can choose when you arrive, don’t stress” which I appreciated greatly.When we got in, the venue itself was moody in the best possible way. A beautifully lit and decorated spot with vintage finishes, and appropriate music choices, which screamed date night cocktail bar; I loved it.We had delicious cocktails which were filled with whimsy and charm, as well as nibbly food to go alongside. My only critique would be on the food. It was tasty but some items were not available and overall I found the food items were lacking a bit of “something special”.But what made the night the success it was, was the friendly, attentive, and approachable staff. I could not fault them or their service.We had the privilege of being able to stay past our booking time and I’m so glad we did. Thank you for a wonderful night out, it made my birthday a night to remember.
