Another diner had a very loud barking dog a couple tables away that very much detracted from the dining experience, which would otherwise have been lovely. It would have been nice for the manager to tell the dog owner that she needed to take her dog elsewhere.

We were celebrating a birthday and Sarah (sp?), our server, was exceptionally gracious! The hostess was also very welcoming. The food was very good, large portions, though not inexpensive. We sat in the parklet which was comfortable with the heaters. I would go back for sure for a special occasion.

Novy is a little neighborhood gem—but enjoyed by everyone from all over the city! The outdoor seating is very protected and comfortable—and usually has nice weather. Love the variety of the menu—always delicious! Love meeting friends there for lunch or dinner. A fun, casual place with fresh, healthy and tasty food.

Excellent service-very attentive staff; very good salads but a little pricey (they even charged us extra for pita bread). I had reserved a booth inside but forgot to set it aside for us, so we sat outside in park let-too noisy.

The appetizer / small plates were fantastic. The entrees were good. The only option of veggies pasta for vegetarians was not that good. Decent wine options and very limited low ABV cocktails. Overall I would recommend the place.
