I wasn't going to comment on this old thread, but I could never reconcile the different opinions on the food. We went to Nadia's for the first time Sunday evening and had a very favorable impression. The most important element to us in a restaurant is the food and the most important determinant of that are the ingredients. Nadia's vegetables, fish, cheese, pasta were fresh and excellent. I had haddock with saffron, asparagus baked in butter and my wife had the spinach lasagna with three cheeses ( and 3 meatballs) and all was delicious. The small fresh come-with dinner salads had a good balsamic vinegarette and the warm bread hit the spot. Everything was light and well seasoned. Both the garlic and the salt are lightly applied and, IMO, is the cause for some of responders disappointment. This is not chain restaurant heavy red sauce. One can always add salt if "need" be. The server was very pleasant and helpful and the surroundings were clean. The entrees came out at a leisurely pace, but, again, in a cooked-to-order restaurant this should be expected. It is not fast food. Anyway, now that we know the way, we will certainly return
