Absolutely the best dinner experience I have had in SF. From the moment we entered we received a warm friendly welcome. The service from Nester was excellent. He was friendly, attentive to our needs and very welcoming. The food was delivered in the ordered we placed and nicely presented. This was our very first time and we will definitely be back. Thank you NOVY team you all ROCK!!

There's pretty loud music playing which I don't like. Would rather have it feel like a calm ambiance with subtler music, not blasting Alanis Morissette in the bathroom and the table at the same time. The fries were good. The wraps were ok. The water is tap. Overall I'd say it's on the enjoyable side of average
