Ignore the handful of poor reviews, those people are obviously used to standard eggs and toast breakfast and arent looking for exciting and creative breakfasts. I had the Migas Puercos and it was fantastic. In fact, I stopped reading the menu online when I read the description and promptly herded my fiancé into the car so we could try it. The spanish chorizo in it was amazing! I wish there was more, but there was plenty of pancetta and delicious croutons to keep me happy. My fiancé ordered the Nosh french toast with lemon créme anglaise. She went to french pastry school, and declared that it was some of the best french toast shes ever had. I have to agree, the light citrus danced with the fantastic texture of the bread and didnt even need syrup, which never happens for me. Add a solid bloody mary or one of their other breakfast cocktails to complete the experience!

The last reviewer was correct about the menu, its a great menu I use to go there a lot a couple years ago when the chef, who wrote the menu was still there. Now I refuse to go, I went once after the chef left and was very disappointed they couldnt even make the signature French fries right. The food WAS great, I was never disappointed with a meal and I went there a lot, being at least 3 times a month. I will never understand why owners of restaurant unvalue chefs, they make the magic without a conductor an orchestral would be horrible, same thing! There is so much being done behind the scenes that people just do not understand. So my recommendations are if you are looking for a good breakfast spot go elsewhere!

Nosh is small & out of the way, which actually lends to its mystique, but well worth it. A friend took me there, and I found that I just love their food. De-lish! I have since returned the favor and have taken a whole host of friends there, one by one of course.;-) - and every single one has also fallen in love with this place. It is perfect - fills a great niche for really good food for breakfast/lunch. Not on the menu -but very good - the Chicken Cesaer Salad wrap. Ask for it - you wont be disappointed, to be sure! I find the service just fine, and place is inviting. Two thumbs up -no doubt about it!

Great atmosphere and nice staff. At seeing the menu I had high hopes. They were dashed to pieces at the first bite. Everything was just ok. I had the red eye Benedict. Steak was tough overcoooked and relatively flavorless. Poached eggs were overdone too. It was all just very bland for how exciting it sounded. Glad there was Tabasco on the table. My wife had the migas puerco. It was edible...mostly. It was basically a pile of scrambled eggs, limp bacon, and very oily croutons surrounded by balsamic vinegar. Not Mexican flavored at all.

Came here for brunch with the roommate & have been here a few times before. And each time the food is awesome. The mimosas are great & they offer a lot of vegetarian options. We had the breakfast burrito & the Florentine Benedict with crab. And it was so Damn good. But the reason for the 5 stars isnt because of the food alone.. Its because of Leslie. That beautiful lil peach of a server that you have. She is truly a gem. She is the greatest server weve ever had. So theres that. Merry Christmas!!

Incredible breakfast and lunch menus. My personal favorites are the Salmon Benedict and the Chicken Salad Sandwich on flatbread. Their lunches can come with salad instead of fries at no upcharge and you can get fresh fruit with breakfast (huge plus if youre even semi health conscious). Seriously, the food is incredible, if you havent gone, GO! My only gripe is that their coffee is awful.

A delicious restaurant that is tucked away (literally) in downtown Geneva off 3rd Street. Outdoor patio seating is perfect for warm days, with plenty of southern sun exposure. Menu is thorough and plentiful, and prices are surprisingly good, dishes ranging from $8-12. My personal favorite are the many GF (gluten free) options they offer.

The food was mediocre, I was told that the dried cherries were diced so small in my chicken salad that I couldnt see them (or taste them). I felt as though they didnt want to address that there wasnt in fact any in there which would have been fine, but they should change it on their menu or advise their guests when it is ordered.

Eh, its okay. Not sure what the fuss is about this place. Its trendy, hipster and over priced. The wait to get a table is ridiculous. Tried it twice to give it a shot at two different time. Just think its overrated. Both times it was impossible to get the waitress to refill the coffee. Portions are tiny for what you pay.

Fresh and high quality food with proper portions (not heaps of food or hardly any). The water is constantly refilled as well which is nice. Ive had the benedicts, omelets, and breakfast burrito. All were excellent each time. No trouble getting a table at 9AM on a Saturday.

This is probably the best breakfast in Geneva/St.Charles, next to Egg-Harbor. The menu is always interesting, always delicious, often unorthodox, and just healthy enough. Great place to take mom or wife.

The raspberry pear mimosa was fantastic, and the potatoes were amazing as always. The grape hollandaise on the Monte Cristo Benedict was a nice touch. The ginger pears did leave a little to be desired.

Noisy, pricey, limited menu. Salad with chicken breast was terrible. Chicken was cold and very dry, as if it had been cooked the day before. Dressing was void of flavor. Will not be back.

Great food and great service! Food is a dressed up version of a regular dish. We came during lunch, sat right down, and had our food brought right to us. Will definitely go back!

Took family, including three kids under 8. Staff respectful, checked on us but not too many times a to be annoying. Kid food was tasty, adult food artisan and well presented.

The food is fabulous, but the acoustics are terrible. Its way too loud in there. Need to hangs some decorative tarps on the ceiling to soften the noise.

Fantastic breakfast. Huge well filled omelettes paired with good morning drinks and sweet pancakes. Muchacho, the lorraine, greco are awesome.

Best gourmet breakfast spot in the area. A place where you can tell that a lot of work is put into every dish. Looking forward to coming back.

Great spot in downtown. This is not your ordinary breakfast spot. And yes, ignore the few bad reviews. They must be used to IHOP.

Nosh is a tried and true Geneva favorite. Great food, fun, urban-like atmosphere and decent prices. I love the specialty mimosas!

Fast food even when busy.. Love the different style of breakfast food not what u usually get from a breakfast place.
