My brother took my husband and me out to dinner to Bar Nova for the first time. I ordered the Nova burger, it was delish! It was served hot and it was juicy. My husband and brother got the Short Rib Cavatelli, OMG ... it was amazing! Yes, I tried some of my husbands. The service was excellent and I would highly recommend giving them a try.

Stopped in for dinner last night. It was pretty crowded in this quaint restaurant but had a cozy atmosphere. We waited about 10 minutes for a table. Ordered a few things to share for dinner. The Cuban sandwich was very good- I loved the honey mustard on it. The wood fired pizza was nice and thin with a good crunch. The kitchen was willing to make both items without cheese due to my dairy allergy. My boyfriend tried the meatballs, as we've heard they're delicious. We had good service and a great meal with leftovers to bring home. read more

My husband and I still enjoy this place! Their martinis are on point. The service is always excellent. We have never had a bad meal. Sometime we go and enjoy a bunch of different appetizers and sometimes we order dinners. The staff is amazing and attentive. I'm so happy a private owned restaurant went in here. Supper local and check out this gem . read more

Bar Nova is my wife's and my go to restaurant on the Wesr Side. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and always seem to be smiling. My wife likes to get something different but I always order the Cuban which is the best in NE Ohio. read more

We love Bar Nova! The vibe is fun, The food is amazing, and the drinks are to die for! We've had a great experience there every time we've been!! read more

I had no idea Bar Nova existed, when I stumbled onto a FB post about this place I had to give it a try. Sat at the bar, dining alone. Bartender was great, knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. Ordered the fresh mozzarella cheese squares as appetizer which was delicious and entree Cavatelli with braised beef was also amazing. I will say however, the Cavatelli was "swimming in sauce" my plate had 60% sauce to 40% pasta so next time I will ask for 80/20 pasta to sauce. Would have given five stars otherwise read more

Love this little place. Great food, great drink menu. It's a very small place so you have to get there early. I really enjoy sitting at the bar. Friendly staff. read more

This is a nice little place with a great cocktail menu, and very good food. I highly recommend the Maple Old Fashioned! My girlfriend loves French onion soup, and said theirs is one of the best she's had. I had a pork dish that was on the specials menu and it was excellent. We'll definitely go back. read more

This place is fantastic!!! It was our first time at Nova yesterday and what a treat this place turned out to be. From the hostess beautiful smile to our excellent server Desiree, the bar tender who brought our food, to the actual food itself our lunch experience was great!!! Meet balls and mushroom flat bred were superb! French fries crispy and hot, like the supposed to be! Plain hamburger for my husband ( meat and potatoes type of guy) was very good as well! Thank you Nova...for the delicious food and for the kindness and professionalism of your wonderful staff! read more

If I could do a half star or less I would. After 10 mins we were finally greeted. 15 more minutes we finally got our drinks and got to place our order. After 30 mins of waiting for our appetizer. We left. When we asked where our appetizer was, we were told, "we have tickets to the floor, your food will be out shortly." I counted. There were 10 total tables. We left after an hour of being there and waiting without ever getting any food. NOT going back read more

Love this place! Always enjoyed Nemo's Grille, and this spinoff does not disappoint. Cocktails are great pours, and the bar staff is very good. Been here a bunch and there are so many great menu items! Burgers are outstanding, but my favorites include: The short rib Cavatelli (big portion, so good!), Short rib tacos with manchego cheese cole slaw (3 soft tacos, plenty for a meal), and the Cuban sandwich is the best on the west side. I love to order a meal and take home a Cuban for lunch the next day. I so wanted to give them 5 stars, but I think the wine by the glass selection needs to either expand or rotate more often. I know, high class problem, but other than that, this place kills it every time without fail. read more

Food tonight was great. Service too was fantastic. It was the first Fri of Lent. My only complaint is how LOUD it was. Maybe I'm getting old, but we could barely hear my husband's aunt and uncle. Lots of groups of insanely loud women who don't know how to use inside voices. My ears are literally still ringing. We sat on the enclosed porch, but the bar area was even louder. This place might be better visited early week when not so crowded. Hopefully, they can do something to dampen the sound. read more

We had a great first visit. The cocktails were yummy, the fried mozzarella was perfect and the flatbreads were delicious. Nothing to complain about! read more

If I could give them no stars, I would. I've got to kind of agree with the lady that says the staff are racist. My husband and I went in and were told it would be a few minutes for them to clean off a table. 15 minutes later another (white) couple walks in and are seated outside which we declined to do. When the other couple came back in because it was too cold they were seated at the bar ahead of us. Another 10 minutes later and we're told we would have to get on the waitlist because the table they were going to sit us at was now magically reserved. In addition to all that, there's no waiting area and insufficient parking read more

Had the short rib tacos, margherita flat bread, and skillet cookie for dessert. Everything was fantastic. Great service and drink selections, will be back again ASAP. read more

Bar Nova - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Avon, Ohio

This is one of our favorite spots! They're food is amazing and the atmosphere is so welcoming! The service is also top notch! They are taking measures to keep everyone safe during Covid. If you are looking for a warm cozy spot with delicious food, I highly recommend a trip to Bar Nova! read more

Best French Onion Soup on the planet ! This is a very small venue with limited seating. Nice for two to four people but not good for large gatherings. Their burgers are also very good. Noise is a problem due to poor acoustics. Overall a place worth trying. read more

Our favorite place to go!! The best service ever and amazing food. On the weekends they have wonderful specials. Always enjoy sitting at the bar too. Great atmosphere. read more

Best old fashioned cocktails! And the meatballs! I love everything about this place.

Bar Nova is excellent! I've driven past several times and have made a note to stop, and I'm glad I finally did. The decor has a rustic feel, and their new patio really is a beautiful, great spot to have a meal. We started with the queso fundido, and it was fantastic! A little spicy because it had chorizo, but that was what I loved about it. The chips were homemade and they were excellent! They were almost like a cross between pita bread and tortilla chips. Our group was raving about them. I had the Romano crusted chicken sandwich for dinner and it was fabulous as well. The flavor was very good and the portions are huge. I always like to have leftovers the next day, so that was a bonus. Overall a great spot for drinks and dinner, I can't wait to go back and try some more menu items. Keep up the great work! read more

Came for brunch... social distancing waitress wearing masks disinfecting tables 〰not consistent. food had chicken & waffles- chicken tasteless, breading was ok waffles dry; overall too dry and with syrup too sweet, it lacked feeshness; French toast stuffed was ok... nothing worth to come back; Mac and cheese- texture, sauce, pasta very good but lacked salt. Coffee not hot and drinks expensive for what u get. Service took an hr to get order taken, another 45 min for bread to arrive and then another 20 for food... waitress either new or clueless as she will repeatedly come back to ask clarification of order, was not familiar with side orders and flavor options for mimosa/Bellini. parking overall totally dissatisfied and disappointed read more

Go there in person and the food is great. Would not recommend ordering food to be delivered. We ordered food that was supposed to be delivered within an hour. They have changed delivery time twice now. Risk you take with delivery but otherwise food is good. read more

Great food and service a little pricey but the varied menu was a real plus. The onion soup was outstanding.

Food never disappoints! I love that they have weekly specials. It's nice to try new things that's not on the menu everyday.

Went there with a friend from 4:30-6:00 for happy hour. Our bill was 80.00. Some woman came over and told us we had to leave because we were sitting to long. They were rude and made us feel like we were criminals for sitting at their. There were no happy hour specials fyi. read more

Very creative menu and the food was delicious. We'll be back!

While I'm no stranger to Nova's menu, I have to say tonight's carry out was perfection. In this crazy 6' environment of take out only Bar Nova did not disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfectly and packaged smartly (bun and sauces the on side). I wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you. read more

It'll you like a good old fashion this is where you get them, literally the best dunk I've ever had. I always get the tacos and they've never once disappointed. The owner is a very nice man, and has represented this community positively. read more

Food was fantastic, service great as well. Lovely atmosphere, looking forward our next visit.

Always drive by this place everyday, on my way home from work. Finally stopped one night. The food was very good!! The environment was very cute, patio amazing. Definitely a date night place. The night we dined there, the service was HORRIBLE! Took forever to get our drinks, refills and she never checked on us. The food was very goo, so I'm willing to give it a second chance. read more

Great farm to table local restaurant. Vegetarian friendly. Perfect drinks in a welcoming atmosphere. Be sure to check out this local place. -- Dr. Bosley read more

Okay so I have to explain this review because the 3/5 stars is solely because of the atmosphere. We went to dinner here for the first time and the food was AMAZING. Our waitress was VERY good but the "outside" patio was terrible for sound. There was a group of 6 and the sound echoed so badly I couldn't even talk to my boyfriend at all, like I understand BAR Nova but the acoustics were so echoed I couldn't hear my boyfriend order his food and he was sitting right next to me. I didn't expect it to be quiet but we almost left because it was SO. LOUD. I would suggest to the owners to seriously consider some kind of privacy noise blockers or something. Anyways back to the other points. So I ordered the Mac and cheese and it was sooooooo good. The best Mac and cheese I have ever had in my life and I am an avid Mac and cheese lover. The food was so hot we had to wait for it to cool down before we could eat it (we were happy about this) the table and chairs were comfortable and I honestly prefer booths but I wasn't uncomfortable. Overall I did enjoy the food and would return but I wouldn't go again on a Saturday night due to the level of noice and the big inconvenience it provide for my boyfriend and myself. read more

I have to say I'm kind of floored. I think I had what might just be the best meatball sub I have ever had. FULL STOP. I am not exactly sure what made it so good- the fact that finally it was a sub where the meatballs weren't completely killed with garlic? Perhaps it was that the meat was so very tender, but still solid? OR maybe it was the delicious blend of cheese? The great bread? Oh my word. I'm sitting here stuffed and even though I can't fit in another crumb I am already thinking about when to have this again. It is a $14 meatball sandwich folks, and yep. I would order it again in a second and it was worth every delicious penny! read more

Great atmosphere and wonderful food. Had a nice evening out and enjoyed the Brie appetizer very much.

I've been here twice and both times were very nice experiences. Food is fantastic and there's a great beer selection to choose from. The owner is very nice and greeted us when we arrived and when we left. This is a great place to go and have a craft beer without all of the crowds and craziness. You don't feel rushed here and the service is great. I highly recommend the flatbreads! read more

Perfect!!!! Food quality and service both were terrific! Cavetelli were awesome. Wife had grilled-cheese, "best she ever had". Drinks were not skimpy. Don't think twice about visiting this place. read more

Shrimp tacos! They are fantastic, order them every time. Love the deco and the atmosphere. Great bar line up. Will continue to stop in!

Service was great! Attentive and friendly. Had a great meal. Started with the Gin and juice which was refreshing after a day of driving.Husband had the chicken tacos which were really good and I had the house salad which was fresh and awesome and the margherita pizza. All made with fresh ingredients and very tasty. Loved the decor and will definitely stop again on our way through from Wisconsin to the east coast. read more

Honestly, we were looking for a new neighborhood spot and we have finally found it! The service was impressive and the attention to details was "bar none"! We feel like they have our nona's recipes and the best atmosphere. Super clean. Highly recommend 10/10! read more
