Stumbled upon this restaurant after hiking Mammoth Cave on a Saturday afternoon. No wait and seated right away. Cocktails were good. Voodoo chicken pasta was a little overcooked and the pasta fell apart easily. The flavor was good. The chicken biscuit sandwich was really good but the potatoes that came with it were too big and not cooked long enough. Overall, decent local restaurant and we'd probably return.
Our vacation was in Destin Fl. Destin is a wonderful vacation spot. Normally we do not go to the same place twice but we will go back to Destin. There is plenty of fun activities and entertainment there to do, such as Dolphin sightseeing and Crab Island. The food there was delicious and many places to choose from. The only negative comment about this trip is the Hotel that Monster Reservations Group chose for our stay which was the La Quinta INN by Wyndham located in Miramar Beach Fl. Piss poor service is what we received . I will turn down a free vacation if I had to stay there again
Shrimp and grits was rice and creamy. I had not had fried grits cakes and was a nice surprise. Shrimp popped in my mouth: great. The creole rice was great. The liver did not overpower the dish but evident. It is worth the stop. Service very friendly. The space was a bit noisy but it is that kind of place- fun.
it's in a bit of a strip mall (ish) but it's in downtown bowling Green it's a quaint area. So thanks to my fellow yelpers I tried the jambalaya I'm thinking to myself jambalaya in bowling Green Kentucky but EVERYONE should try this jambalaya it's a bit on the spicy side which I absolutely love but it tasted so good and I have to say it was the exact perfect amount of rice with sauce two beautiful pieces of bread I use the last one to soak up the sauce amazing I have to say I'm still shocked. I did just go in and get it to go but the staff was very nice easy to order online and pretty darn quick I'm here for the week I guarantee you I'll eat there again.
As my bf and I were road tripping back home, we were in the area around dinner time and decided to stop for some food. I found this place on Yelp and liked the menu and it had great reviews so I was all for it. We found parking easily, as it's in a shopping plaza. We didn't expect the place to be packed on a Tuesday night but it was! The ambiance is cute, trendy, and seems like a family friendly spot. We put our name on the list and not too long after we were seated. Our server, I believe her name was Zayda, was awesome. Having been on the road for a few days our brains were mush and we were so indecisive. She was so patient with us and attentive... we loved her! To start we ordered the Bacon Wrapped Dates and the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. We enjoyed them, they were nice and hot and were the perfect balance of salty and sweet. As for the Brussel sprouts, my bf didn't care for them too much but I enjoyed them a lot. I feel like most places just burn the Brussel sprouts to a crisp and they're too dry and flavorless, but these were great! They had flavor thanks to the avocado & vinaigrette with it. My bf just said it was too different for him he prefers the usual dry kind. To drink they had pineapple high noons (the best flavor) in stock so that was a win for me! For our entrees, my bf ordered the fish special that night (minus the shrimp since he's allergic). The lady sitting at the table next to me ordered something that looked so good so I asked Zayda what it was and she informed me it was the veggie bowl with added salmon to it. Done, I was sold! I was already torn between ordering the veggie bowl and the Parmesan salmon so this was the best of both worlds! Our food came, and we loved our dishes! They were fresh and light and good portions. Even my bf said if we had this place where we lived he would come basically every day. Prices are great, food is great, service is great, it couldn't get any better. We then understood why they're busy on a Tuesday night. Instead of desert for the night, I opted for a Lavender Vanilla iced latte. It was delicious and kept me up for a while as we continued further on our roadtrip. Not sure if we'll be in the area again but if we ever are, we would certainly come back! Couldn't recommend this place any more!
This place was recommended as a great place to eat. I will definitely go back! I met a friend for an early "linner" at 4:30. We started with the Novo Board. The spicy pimento cheese and fig jam were delicious. The waitress was helpful as we asked what to order. She recommended the voodoo chicken and chicken sliders as her favorites. We went with her suggestions. Delicious. She was helpful and attentive.the portions were huge. The place was filling up when we left. Delicious food, cool joint, chill vibes, nice servers. What more could you want?!
Food awesome, decoration perfect, service a little slow. The feel is perfect. Decor fitting the establishment. Server knew so I will cut him some slack. Food off the charts.
Service was great and food tasted amazing!! Ordered two drinks and both were mixed well. Would definitely come back
Stopped for dinner after the Lost River tour at 7:00. Busy but got seated in about 20 mins vs 30 min estimate (good job!). Florentine pasta very good(lots of mushrooms) with creamy sauce. Fish and chips crunchy with flaky fish inside. Fries similar to those at a fair (yes, malt vinegar available). Margherita pizza very good (new pizza oven per server!) with lots of cheese and crispy edges crust. Bulgogi bowl good; flavorful and hot (temperature). Server kept drinks full!
Great vibe, decor, seating options. Our first Server was extremely polite and made spot on recommendations (we took both of them :) Unfortunately, I had to give only 4 stars because the second server was less attentive and you could tell she was at the end of her shift as she was anxiously waiting for us to finish up. The salad was perfect as-is, perfectly dressed! Only suggestion would be on the pasta - it lacked flavor. We didn't get any protein in it which may be the missing piece as meat or shrimp would be seasoned & add to the dish. To improvise we added some lemon juice from fresh lemon wedges, perfect! Otherwise we would definitely come here again!

My girlfriend and I ordered the fish and chips from here recently! The fish was fried really good and was flaky. I felt it did need some seasoning but the breading was good. The fries (chips) were seasoned well and were plentiful. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good value and the food was good. I give it a 3.5 stars. Service was really good and the food was good! I recommend. read more

Previously I gave a a generous review of five stars based on cocktails. And the cocktails are still pretty good. But we stopped by here on a Saturday for the first time at brunch time. Service was extremely slow, as one server was assigned to the entire section (we were seated in the lounge). That's not her fault--that's a management problem. I ordered the steak and eggs, rather than what I figured would be a messy burger, or the frittata, or avocado toast. I thought this dish would be the least likely to be screwed up. But the steak, served as tips, was full of sinew and fat. And it was about as burned as you can make steak. The breakfast potatoes were also burned until they were hard. The eggs overdone. This was such a huge miss for me. read more
A loittle ways off the interstate, we came here for lunch before going to the Corvette Museum. As upscale a gastropub as you would find anywhere in an upscale strip mall. The interior has plenty of open space. When we arrived there was plenty of seaating but they asked us to sit at a high top in the bar. Fortunately the stool/chairs are comfortable. Turns out most patrons refuse these tables. As expected burgers, salads, and pizza cover the menu. Every dish has been upgraded by the kitchen in some way and they do a good job. I ordered the burger of the week, very good. I would have preferred a different side to fries but didn't notice a vegetable friendly option. One of our party ordered the wedge salad and we jokingly renamed it the hemisphere salad, the portion size is huge. read more

Found this place on Yelp while driving to Nashville. I had the Novo burger which was great as were the hand cut fries. Wife had the Brisket torta which while a bit messy, she thought was great. I washed it down with a SuhBrah NEIPA from Streetside Brewing which I really liked. Bartender Megan was very courteous and quick to check in with us. Highly recommend this place. read more

Took a trip out for my wife's birthday, and struggled to find a nice local joint with a diverse food selection and flavors. We finally settled in Novo Dolce, and we were impressed! Service was high quality, the server was very accommodating and kind to our kids. It was a welcoming environment with a friendly ambiance as well. If they're serving the red snapper, do not pass it up. read more
Wow - what a absolutely stunning dining experience. This gastro pub surpassed our expectations! My colleague from PA & myself from WI were here on business & love this place. We ordered our food which included the salmon plate entree & stuffed mushroom appetizer. It literally was on our table within 10/15 minutes. We ordered the fantastic fall drink with a toasted marshmallow in it. We split the chocolate mousse cake to top off the dining experience. Our waiter, Jack was pleasant & really hustled waiting on us. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food was great! So many options to choose from! Great prices too & service was fast. Not crowded & got in easy. Lots of TVs too to watch sports. read more
I went in for lunch well after the lunch rush was over (about 1:30 or so), was greeted and seated, and my server brought water at my request. I was working, so (sadly) couldn't enjoy a glass of wine with my lunch. That might have made a difference. Eager to try it for the first time, I ordered Shrimp and Grits, which the menu described as "Bacon, mushrooms, peas, and Cajun cream sauce." Mushrooms and peas, yes. Cajun cream sauce? Creamy, but certainly not "Cajun" spicy. Bacon? Not that I could tell. The dish was clearly freshly prepared and served piping hot. Despite the lack of spice, the sauce WAS fairly tasty. The shrimp and sauce were served over two grilled cakes of grits, which were steaming hot but also a little bland. Bottom line is that I left thinking I didn't understand why so many people rave about shrimp and grits. Kinda meh. And the service was also kinda meh. Not bad, just not great. If I had someone dining with me -- or had that glass of wine -- I might not have noticed or cared. But as it was, I give the entire experience three stars overall. read more
I would give 5 stars just for the espresso martinis that Manuel made. He was not only a wonderful bartender, he was a super server. I enjoyed more than one, and that's all I'll say about that. I had fish and chips to eat. It was very good, and I don't usually like coleslaw, but theirs is really good. My daughter had penne pasta with shrimp, mushrooms, and a garlic cream sauce. It's not on the menu, but they fixed her up! Her only complaint was that the shrimp still had the tails on it. She truly has no idea how spoiled she has been when I've cooked for her. read more
We had a delicious dinner here. We sat outside on the "patio" which is more just tables on long the sidewalk of the strip mall. It worked for us and it was nice that they had it as an option. Our server was polite and attentive. Food came out promptly and was delicious. The pasta, tuna poke, Brussels sprouts, and salad were absolutely amazing. The club was good but it definitely would be better for someone who doesn't like much seasoning on their food. Drinks were good!! We will definitely be back. read more

Very good pasta (spicy!) and draft beer, had a nice chat with Megan who gave great service behind the bar and got to straw test a new drink special for Cinco de Mayo! Will be back again if I'm ever in the area read more
Got to this place about 45 minutes before closing. They couldn't have been nicer! I had a Caesar salad and the Voodoo pasta which had a kick, but just enough, not too much! Very good! The staff was very friendly and attentive. It is located within a strip mall, but they have a nice and clean place. read more

This place was unreal! Service was excellent! Atmosphere is great. The food is out of this world good! I had the snapper and the Brussels sprouts. My wife had a one of their recommended dishes. This will be my mandatory stop if I am anywhere near bowling green. read more

This restaurant gave us a really nice experience while on our vacation. We had to eat out on the patio, as indoor dining was closed under Governor's orders. But it was a beautiful day. Our server was great. Very attentive to us and very patient with our slow drink ordering and food ordering. The food was SOOO SOOO good. We ordered the Voodoo Chicken Pasta (spicy!), and the Shrimp and Grits. Both were absolutely divine. Portions were gigantic. They had a good draft beer and bottled beer selection. The prices where kind of steep, especially for lunch. But the food and the service make up for it. read more

I am confused by the name. What is the latest name of this business? Is it Novo 2.0?
I believe both names are used. The Novo 2.0 is more a descriptive nick-name that seems to have come about by virtue of updates made to the menu, and an added specialty bar space as they reinvented themselves post C19. The formal legal name is…
