As the renovations were well underway, there were some deep and lengthy conversations about what to rebrand the former THE HENTY restaurant. Do you go with new, fresh, and contemporary to match the new decor, finishes and menu? Or classic, known, simple, steeped with history and familiar? Where we landed? A mix. Stick with us…
Now for a little history lesson... Back in time [decades, let’s say], the restaurant was known as “Nookies”, yes, Nookies! And now, to pay homage to the history, experience, and no doubt fun [wink], the fresh, modern and contemporary version, noky, was coined. Risqué, perhaps a little. Adventurous, unique and interesting, sure, and we’re here to tell you, these are all the things you can expect from us as we enter the new era of noky [read. ‘nookie’].
One more interesting fact... noky is pronounced "no-key", but we'll probably respond to "nookie" too because we believe, like most things in this world, there is always space for individuality and interpretation.
