At NoMa Social, Executive Chef Bill Rosenberg offers entrées and a mix of Mediterranean-style small plates, excellent for sharing or to serve as a light dinner to go along with some cocktails.
Most of the dishes are cooked a la plancha (Spanish for grilled on a metal plate) and in a wood-burning stove. The tapas style offerings pair perfectly with an extensive beverage selection, which includes specialty cocktails, with some that are less than 150 calories for the health-conscious. Here’s what Rosenberg has on the menu for the winter season.
