Overall, the 3 of us had a very good time, good experience at this neighborhood place. The only problem was I ordered my lamb burger medium rare, and it came to the tale well done. Spoiled an otherwise stellar set of food.

Always great to dine at NOVY. FYI..the octopus salad has changed so we switched to the fried calamari salad and asked if the could sauté instead of fry. Not a problem and the salad was huge and delicious!!!

This is our every Friday night restaurant. We love everything from the food ambience service. They are just the best! We had our favorite fried calamari and we both had cioppino. Both were outstanding! There are so many great entrées on this menu. I love the moussaka, Brussel sprouts shrimp and salmon pasta, both burgers are excellent.
