Spend a Romantic Evening at NoJa: A Dining Experience to Remember

In the heart of downtown Mobile, NoJa offers more than just a place to dine—it offers a moment. A pause in time. A chance to savor not only expertly crafted food but the company of someone special. Whether it’s a first date, an anniversary or a much-needed evening away from the ordinary, NoJa sets the stage for an unforgettable romantic evening.

From its softly lit interiors to its charming New Orleans-style courtyard, the ambiance at NoJa is designed with connection in mind. The gentle clinking of glasses, the rustle of crisp linens and the warm welcome from attentive staff all contribute to a setting where conversation flows easily and every course feels intentional.

NoJa’s thoughtfully curated prix fixe menu invites couples to explore a variety of bold, elegant flavors rooted in Mediterranean and Asian traditions. Each guest can select a personalized three-course journey for $65 per person, featuring a choice of appetizer, salad and entrée.

Begin your evening with a shared moment of discovery. Options like the Seared Scallops, nestled atop butternut squash grits with vibrant pesto or the Short Rib Arancini with romesco sauce and pickled onions, offer a rich and savory introduction. For a lighter touch, the Brussel Bowl with miso-ginger sauce, green onions and toasted sesame seeds delivers a flavorful, vegan-friendly alternative.

Salads are far from an afterthought here. The Fall Salad, made with Baldwin County lettuce, butternut squash, halloumi cheese and candied pecans, balances sweet and savory notes, while the Ginger Salad adds a crisp, refreshing twist with radishes, cucumbers and house-made ginger dressing.

When it comes to entrées, the romantic indulgence continues. The 8 oz. Hanger Steak, finished with goat cheese and red wine reduction, is rich and satisfying, while the Pan Seared Salmon with lemon-caper sauce is light, bright and perfect for a leisurely evening. The Roasted Eggplant with romesco sauce and goat cheese provides a flavorful plant-based option, thoughtfully composed for those seeking a meatless meal without compromise.

Each entrée is paired with seasonal vegetables—like brussels sprouts or chef’s daily preparation—and your choice of NoJa potatoes, fingerlings, or the signature mushroom bread pudding. View the full weekly menu for more options.

No romantic dinner is complete without dessert and the perfect drink pairing. NoJa’s handcrafted cocktails and extensive wine list offer countless ways to toast the evening. Whether it’s a glass of red to complement your steak or a sparkling white to celebrate the moment, the staff is ready to guide you toward a perfect match.

For a sweet finale, choose from indulgent options like the Flourless Chocolate Torte or the Cheesecake Evolution, both featured on NoJa’s dessert menu.

What sets NoJa apart is not just its exceptional food but the experience it offers. From the curated menu to the timeless ambiance and thoughtful service, everything about this space invites you to slow down and savor—not just the meal, but the moments shared across the table.

Whether you’re planning a date night or surprising your partner “just because,” NoJa provides the ideal setting for love to take center stage.
