Very cute ambiance creekside. Came here with a party of 8. Everyone enjoyed their food! I quite liked my savory crepe. Total bill came out to $163. The only complaint I have is that our food took a very long time to come out...

A Californian fusion restaurant as it offers quite a few Asian dishes. If course, we skipped those, with the exception of the shrimp roll which I thought was good, but the skin was kind of dried up (probably made ahead). The scallops were wonderfully delicious, cooked just right, great sauce. The racks of lamb were pretty good, a bit overcooked. Of course, the patio seating area was a great place to enjoy these delicious dishes!

I don't frequent this place, but I have a friend who went to Poly who always goes when she visits. I've always been a fan of the location and of the owners, but have never been as impressed with Novo as I have been with Robin's. The location is fantastic, you can't beat having dinner overlooking the creek while in SLO. The food is usually really good, but there have definitely been a few times that the food wasn't cooked well. Unfortunately this last experience was the same, mostly good, but still not great. Our group ordered a couple of drinks and then also brought a bottle of wine. We all requested water as well since we would be dining for awhile. The waiter while cheery and fairly helpful, wasn't the most attentive, and left water glasses empty for long periods of time (15+ minutes) which was terrible. Our cocktails were great and the bartender was super friendly, but even he botched the order a little bit. One of the 3 drinks was supposed to be neat, but he served it on the rocks ruining the drink. The food was good, the salmon bisque is an absolute staple and is worth coming back for on its own. The other food we ordered included Chow Novo, Lavender Lamb, and Lettuce Wraps. The waiter was very helpful with the recommendation for the beef with the lettuce wraps and the chicken with the chow novo, otherwise we probably would have had chicken and tofu. Thankfully his recommendations were spot on, the beef was fantastic with the lettuce wrap. Made for a really nice balance and the beef wasn't very heavy like you'd normally expect. Chow Novo also was spot on, noodles were perfect, seasoning nice and light, very light oil and the chicken was nice and tender. The big disappointment of the night was the lamb. It is usually a go to for me when I dine here, but the last two times it has been burnt on the outside and overcooked. Of the three chops only one had even a hint of red in the meat. I used to order this and it would be a nice light char on the outside and a fairly deep red in the center of the chop. Who ever the chef is now likes to give a heavy char and leave the lamb 90%+ brown which is a shame. Overall, still a good experience, but stay away from the lamb these days.

Everything is wonderfully prepared, but the Salmon Bisque is Knock-your-socks-off Fabulous!! Order it some cool evening enjoying the stars on the lovely patio. Oooh life is GOOD!
