Great bartenders – The bartenders on a Sat. night were really cool; they went the extra mile. For example, when I asked them about a local bar with a pool table, they surveyed various patrons and wrote out the address on a napkin for me. They even listed a few other options if that spot didn't work out. The scene was an older 20s, lower 30s crowd, and this spot had wine-and-cheese undertones. The drinks were good, but I thought they were trying to make the buffalo wings into something they're not with the strange herbs: clas... read more
Had a blast for my birthday! – I had my b-day celebration there this past weekend & it was great! It was a group of 19 & the restaurant did a fabulous job w/ the drinks & the food! All my friends really enjoyed what they ordered & the service was great. I chose this place b/c of the reviews it got on CitySearch, but the great help & service over the phone won me over! They were very accomodating & it was totally no hassle. I HIGHLY recoommend Nova.
Great Find! – My friend and I decided to try some place new to eat and have a cocktail. I checked out some of the reviews on citysearch and found Nova. That same evening, we decided to try it, instead of our usual spots. I'm so glad we did! The drinks were amazing - I had a berry cosmopolitan with cucumber vodka (recommended by the bartender with the pony tail - he was very friendly and nice and so right about the drink). It was so refreshing and yummy. The food was wonderful - calmari and ahi tuna apps. And I love the fact ... read more
Great post-game bar – We took a group of over twenty people to Nova after a noon Giants game. We had reserved three tables, but easily sat everyone after grabbing a few extra chairs. The wait-service was a little slow, but only relatively to how quickly it was possible to get drinks directly from the bar. The infused vodkas were very interesting. The Honey Lavender was clearly the best of the varieties, although the Blackberry and Watermelon are worth trying. The Peach was okay, but not great; I'd recommend asking to taste t... read more
One of the best places around... sans Giants Game – I love this place especially when the Giant's are not playing or it is well past the end of the game. Place can get very crowed on game days. The food is good the drinks are good the staff is awesome. The scene (sans game night) is chill and relaxed. Even went with some friends that brought a baby one early evening and the place and staff were ultra cool about doing whatever was needed for the kid and parents.
IDEAL! Love it. – Nova is a rare find in SF. It is a good combination of bar/restaurant. Unpretentious but a nice place, food is delicious, bartenders are friendly and fun. The mac-n-cheese is irresistible, chicken & steak entrees are terrific, spinach salad & asparagus dishes are amazing. The prices are fair & portions are large. There are tvs above the bar if you want to watch a game. The chef is the former chef of Spoon on Polk so if you ever ate there, you know how good the food is. I only wish he would make his tantaliz... read more
GREAT FOOD, GREAT DRINKS- GREAT PLACE! – I was more than pleasantly surprised on my first visit to Nova (was Infusion). Different decor- more loungy-feels more like a bar- so my expectations were low food-wise- After a rather "loose" seating(no host) by a server with pink/purple hair dressed kind of like a clown- we ordered up and these were the results- apps- lobster quesadilla (sounds pretentious but was great) calamari (best I've had) shared a spinach sald(tasty) Chicken entree (manager's recommendation- and excellent) an... read more
Nova the perfect place anytime – Nova is a wonderful place in the SOMA district. Its relaxed atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. From its good sized booths and its long bar, plenty of room. They play an eclectic array of music on different nights, from live jazz and other bands, to just some lounge house music to fill the air. I would recommend this bar for any occasion, its perfect for private parties and on any evening or weekend. There is always a good crowd and always a few regulars on hand. This is a perfect place t... read more
Worthy successor to Infusion – When I learned Infusion was going away to be replaced, I was worried. However, as the replacement, Nova is a worthy successor. They have a nice friendly staff, great appetizers and they kept the vodka infusions! It can get crowded during games, but otherwise is a perfect happy hour bar after a long day in the office.
