Dining Design Diary: Nombe
The seriousness of the San Francisco food scene is expressed by restaurants seemingly one-upping each other on every aspect of the dining experience: We use local produce…We grow our veggies on our roof! Our bar was custom made in Italy…Our plates were hand-thrown in Korea to custom fit each item onthe menu! We have art from a local painter on the walls…We have an artist creating art behind you as you eat!
So on the occasion that I come across exceptional food in an humble environment, it can be, well…refreshing. Don't get me wrong—I love an exquisitely designed restaurant. But digging into a great meal in a place that looks like it should be serving watery eggs and sausage patties is akin to discovering that the semi-nerdy bookworm you met at a coffee shop and agreed to go on a date with is actually the frontman in an awesome band. Score! Read more...
As foodies and drink enthusiasts, I’m sure you’ll find this extremely useful (and fun!). Raise your hand if you don’t like spending less to get a great experience in a great city. Since I can’t see any raised hands, I’m pretty sure everyone here likes to save, which is why you might be interested in LivingSocial. Every day, LivingSocial will offer an amazing deal (we’re talking up-to-90%-off amazing) for local restaurants, bars, spas, theaters, and more.
The thing is, people generally don’t like to go to these things by themselves…and now you won’t have to! Next Wednesday for example, when you buy a Living Social deal for Mendocino Farms with your Visa card, you score a free deal for your friend!

Very unfriendly owner...grumpy and cold! Has it changed hands?

This article fails to mention that Nombe is horribe. The whole atmosphere is uncomfortable and awkward, and the decent sake list doesn't make up for the half-assed menu. This place used to be alright, but it's been terrible lately.

Changing the design of Nombe can't hide the fact that the food is awful. Probably the most inauthentic "Japanese" food I've ever tasted.. and I've tasted some bad Japanese. "Ramen" with coconut milk? Um, no thanks. If I wanted Thai food, I'll go to a Thai restaurant.
