It was so nice eating al fresco on a beautiful fall day. We had been traveling and the ambience AND food was exceptional. Order the charcuterie plate!

This is a long standing favorite of locals in our area. Beautiful setting, outdoors. Inside - long fully equipped cocktail bar. Food is Fantastic! Never had a bad meal here. Service is stellar. Menu choices are eclectic and lean toward the organic...Bisque is AMAZING, not...to be missed. If you can get reservations for Sunday Brunch - GO!More

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere and amazing service. Very busy because of Cal Poly move-in. I’m glad I thought to make a reservation. Thoroughly enjoyed my Papardelle. My vegetarian daughter liked her soba noodles with tofu. My carnivorous daughter enjoyed her prime rib. My husband and...as absolutely ecstatic over his duck. Our server, Amanda, could not have been better. She was attentive and so friendly she even gave my new Mustang great recommendations for local businesses to try. The outdoor setting on the back deck was the icing on the cake.More

We made the reservation because we had eaten a couple days earlier at their sister restaurant Robin's, in Cambria. Same fresh ingredients, healthy menu. The menu was different, but you could tell, the same spirit of offering healthy, local produce dominated.More

Their outdoor deck seating is lovely. We enjoyed the scallops, duck, and fillet. All were excellent! And the service was outstanding, especially surprising given that all tables were full.

Our family of 5 had a fabulous evening meal at Novo in August 2022. Beautifully setting on the back deck, warmly lit for a summers evening, delicious food and the next staff we’ve had the pleasure of serving us on our vacation so far. Would...highly recommend!More

I ordered the duck. It was so delicious, my husband ordered the curry, and my daughter had the papperadelle. All were so tasty!!

Seating is out back on numerous decks . Very good for large parties. No complaints amongst guest in quality of meals - scallops, halibut, steak, lettuce wrap. Wine pours are generous.

Great atmosphere and food. Asian and international influence. The menu doesn’t offer that many options, which is Great in my opinion. The backyard is lovely, so try to make a reservation to seat outside.

A meal at Novo is always a highlight of our visits to SLO. Have eaten here three times now, and have samples lots of the small plates. The food is inventive, tasty, and delicious. The outdoor atmosphere on the creek can't be beat (and is...great for COVID safety). The service is exemplary: all of our servers (including our most recent, Mary Grace) were delightful and efficient.More

This was a great place. We sat outside on the deck. Great evening, perfect weather. Our waiter was Brian and he give top notch service. We had two small plates and split an entree. Good portions. Good wine list. Highly recommend.

Novo is located in downtown San Luis Obispo in a historic turn of the century building with spectacular creekside dining. Awesome fresh, delicious food, super friendly & attentive service with a gorgeous ambiance. What more do you need ?
