Novo

Came in for an early dinner with a plus 1. We were seated almost immediately. Noah was our waiter and he did a great job. Attentive and friendly. We ordered 2 of the strawberry basil gimlet. It is absolutely refreshing and crisp. The right amount of basil added into this drink made it one of the best strawberry drinks I've had. We then ordered the Chèvre which consists of warmed goat cheese, fresh tyme, marinated olives, and olive bread toast. Also, a savory ate to compliment the weather. We then ordered our entrees which were the Novo lettuce wraps and the Ahi nachos. Melt in your mouth poke, so delicious!!! This is a must stop whenever in downtown SLO. We will come again! Thank you for the great experience!

Novo is my favorite restaurant. I stop in SLO when traveling to and from Santa Barbara and the Bay Area for my favorite meal of tofu lettuce wraps, delicious soup, and a glass of fine wine. The fairy lights and woodsy, fresh air in the patio make for a welcoming, charming ambiance, and the wait staff are friendly and helpful. I don't think you can go wrong at this excellent restaurant.

NOVO never disappoints. Been here in the past but not in several years. It's as amazing as I remember it! Great drinks, incredible food and a friendly staff. A definite must if you are in the area. The Chevre, the Chicken Satay and Samosas are delicious.

Came all the way from Los Angeles for work and wanted to find a place with great food and atmosphere before heading back, happy to say we definitely found it with Novo.

The restaurant and food were amazing. Our server AJ definitely helped with great recommendations and giving us plenty of time to choose and enjoy the atmosphere.

We were served delicious sparkling water to drink while looking through the menu.I started my evening with the Blueberry sage Mule & my girlfriend tried the strawberry martini.

We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as the appetizer with the Novo soup of the day for myself and the salmon bisque for her. These were absolutely delicious.

For our main course we both had the filet mignon, mine (medium) with potatoes and the recommended black rice, she had (medium well) potatoes and baby carrots.

Even after all those delectably astounding dishes, we decided to end the night with the Raspberry creme brulee. I know for sure it was a perfect dessert as my gf only gave me one to two tries before she happily finished.

We both were in agreement that this had to be the best meal we had in years and are definitely going to come back for special dates & anniversaries.

This place was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was also very friendly and attentive.

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and great service! A lot of variety on the menu and I really appreciate the veggie options.

Had a pleasant experience at Novo. At first when you enter you’re greeted with a bar front seating and then a passage which opens up to a beautiful creek side patio. Menu was limited but had great options for us vegetarians. Food tasted good and service was also nice.

Fantastic service by all the staff from entry to our waitress!
Food was like the service, excellent. Will be back again.

Novo has been a nice place we’ve enjoyed throughout time but Ouch! 1 hour wait for a sandwich & soup? 🥵
Wish they would have cover the bill but not really. Hence, I’ll take my business someplace else.

Valentine's Day was absolutely amazing! Balcony seats with a creek in the back. Food and drinks were fabulous. Friendly service and overhead heaters for a comfortable evening.
