Had dinner al fresco yesterday on the back patio. Our food was high quality and was prepared with care for every detail. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We look forward to welcoming you back.
Based on TripAdvisor, I showed up without a reservation late one Sunday afternoon. Staff was very friendly and attentive and I got there just before the "rush." The outdoor seating was divine and there was plenty of space for the celebrations going on, the romantic...dinners, the family at the next table and the friends re-connecting. The food presentation was exquisite and all the flavors were distinct and unique. Had the beet salad and duck entrée. Both were more delicious than I hoped!More
Wow, thank you for such a wonderful review, Karen! This is what we strive for here at Novo and it means a lot that you enjoyed your evening with us. Please come back soon and have a wonderful day!
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!
Thanks for stopping by and then taking the time to leave us a review! It was a pleasure having you, please come back soon!
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
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Kate! I am so happy Amanda and the team were able to deliver this type of experience for a new Cal Poly family. I hope we can become a regular part of your time here in SLO....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
Thank you for the review, Patrick! I am glad you were able to enjoy our healthy, fresh menu. Your comments regarding service will be addressed with the team. Thank you for the feedback so that we can continue to improve. Please come back again-see you...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.
Thank you for this wonderful review! I am so glad you were able to enjoy all that Novo has to offer even as we had a full restaurant. Your praise is very appreciated and I will share it with the team. See you next time!
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
Thank you for this kind review! I am so happy to hear that you were able to have such a nice experience our on our patio. I will pass your words on to the team. I hope we can welcome you back soon!
I ordered the duck. It was so delicious, my husband ordered the curry, and my daughter had the papperadelle. All were so tasty!!
Thank you so much for wonderful review. I am so glad we were able to deliver in all of those areas. I hope we see you back here soon- cheers!
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.
Thank you for the great review! Please come back soon.
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.
Thank you for the 5-stars and lovely review! I am so glad you enjoyed your experience. I hope we get to welcome you back soon, cheers!
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
Phil, thank you so much for the awesome review. This is why we do it. I am so glad you were able to experience all that Novo has to offer. I will make sure Mary Grace and the rest of the team see your kind...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.
Thank you so much for the 5-stars and the recommendation! I will pass this along to Brian and the rest of the team. I hope we can welcome you back soon, Cheers!
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 ?
Thank you so much for the informative, wonderful review. We really appreciate it! Hope we can welcome you back soon.
