Novo - San Luis Obispo (CA)

5 /5 Jie Chen: Everything is perfect. The patio is nice for a warm winter morning brunch. Should make reservation beforehand to sit by the creek, but the other tables are nice too. The food is tasty and presentable. I love the onion slices dipped in a flour mixture and then deep fried. We spent quite some time on a Sunday brunch, talking with each other, talking with clients on the phone. Nice.

5 /5 Amenita T: Love this cute restaurant at a small town of San Luis Obispo. Love their outdoor patio. Dog friendly restaurant. Fusion food, dishes that we ordered all of them are good. Staffs are nice. We actually came back twice while visiting there. Price decent. We walked to the restaurant since it’s a distance walk from our hotel. We made rsvp the 2nd time. First time was walking in and lucky they had a table available. So they do take walk in. They can get pack though. It’s very cute town also. Can walk around after for digestions.

3 /5 Rynqlo Ho: Nova offers a relaxing and comfortable environment, and the service is attentive and pleasant. However, the food was just average. I ordered a medium-rare ribeye that turned out very chewy and lacking flavor—at $58, I expected something noticeably better than a Texas Roadhouse steak. My friend’s curry rice was fine but nothing memorable. If you’re mainly looking for a calm, comfortable place to sit and unwind, this is a good choice. If food is your priority, you may want to consider other options.

5 /5 Kathy Condon: An absolutely delightful place to have lunch. Outdoors..and amazing patio with giant oak tree spreading its branches over diners. I ordered a BLT and the minute I bit in it, my tastebuds danced, for the tomato reminded me of my Moms incredible tomatoes at our Wisconsin home. It was soooo good. My Mango Spetizer was the perfect accompliment. Definitely recommend reservations for it is downtown SLO.

5 /5 Zaina Kazak: One of the best restaurants in downtown SLO. The spring rolls and chow novo are 10/10 recommend. There‘s something for everyone, including vegans. The outside seating is an 11/10, close to the water, around the trees/nature, and soft lighting. Service is great.
