Very nice place to relax and have a drink. Food was very good. Try the carnitas sopes. Staff was friendly as well.

My mother and I visited SLO a few days back and thoroughly enjoyed eating here. As a result of my mother's recent medical complications, she has had to abide by a severe diet that often precludes her from enjoying restaurant meals with friends and family. The NOVO staff, however, were unbelievably accommodating, sitting down with me prior and going in detail over what ingredients she can and can't intake, before prescribing potential substitutions and offering her not just one, but a few options. She LOVED IT! It has been incredibly hard to find restaurants that have been so willing to provide a warm and tailored meals. So thank you to everyone!

Novo made my partner and I's two year anniversary feel special even though the weather was so bad. We didn't special request anything, we just put in our reservation that we were there for an anniversary, and they went above and beyond. Our waitress, I do not remember her name, was extremely friendly and helpful. She checked in on us frequently enough that we didn't feel forgotten about, but infrequently enough that we didn't feel put upon. It was a busy night and, with the rain, everyone was sat in their downstairs dining room. I'm amazed no one dropped anything going up and down those stairs! Big thank you to the staff at Novo for making our night memorable!

Driving from LA to Sonoma, we got off 101 in SLO just after lunch hour looking for lunch. We find Novo with a late afternoon menu, perfect. Food was good local and fresh. Enjoyed salad and spring rolls by the creek and were back in the road within an hour.

Adorable creek side seating, fast service, great about allergies, and the king salmon was delicious! 21+ try the tropical sangria!

Delicious food with fusion tastes and cozy upbeat atmosphere. This little place has something for everyone! Wide selection of wines and other drinks and not so usual foods. Refreshing change to dining! Reminds me of something you might experience in the upscale Manhattan area. This place is hopping so you may want reservations!

Patio is lovely with the beautiful sounds of the stream.

Popped in for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing views in the patio and the salad was absolutely fantastic! Love the way they combined the citrus with the blue cheese and hazelnuts in their grilled salmon salad. If you’re in town, this place is a must.

Everytime I come back to visit friends and family I come to Novo. Having dietary allergies, and restrictions Novo always accommodates. Yet they don't skimp on the quality and taste. Someone who is pescatarian, dairy free and gluten-free it's hard to find restaurants that make food that I can get excited about. Novo does a nice California bistro style with some Asian fusion mixed into their dishes very well. The service is always prompt, yet personable and just overall great experience. Which is how dining out should be, otherwise it's just about consuming and I can do that at home. Novo is a great package for dining. Also love their restaurant Robin's in Cambria too. Wonderful family worth supporting!

Thank you so much for the amazing service and great food!!! I got married that day and my group and I were just amazed at the amazing service. Also, since it was Valentine’s Day, it was hard making a wedding group reservation with other restaurants, I tried booking that day and you guys were the only ones to step up and say you’d love to accommodate me. I appreciate it so much from the bottom of my heart, it means a lot. Thank you so much for making my day so memorable!!!

Very Good, Very Good. Could not finish the pappardelle, I was stuffed. My only note is I think the noodle was on the thick side.

We shared the Meze Plate and that was probably my favorite. The falafels were on point and flavor was awesome. I had the special - confit duck spring rolls, which were good but a little too sweet for me. However, it still had a good crunch. Everything else seemed really good from my group.

Perfect ambience and delicious food! Had the veggie chow, mezze platter and the veg soup and absolutely loved it! Great for special occasions! Oh and the deserts are also lovely!

We ordered five things and each and every one of our orders was so flavorful. My 5 yo niece kept saying yummy for everything. All their preparations are very meticulously planned and served. Chao Novo was my favorite. Their patio area makes for a great view. We loved our lunch. Highly recommend if you are in San Luis Obispo downtown.

Little disappointed. Wouldn't be in a rush to return

The views with the outside seating are great but not all can be seated to view the river. They have white tents and plastic walls to keep you dry and warm. Plus they have heaters that blow warm air in the tent. The waiter was on top of every and did not let our drinks be dry. The Huevo Ranchero is highly recommended.

Great food and even better service. All the staff was extra nice and accommodating, they even brought a water bowl for our puppy that was dining with us on the patio

Really great choice of a variety of foods. Server was attentive and checked in often. Also brought a heating lamp since it was a bit chilly. If you only have 1 or 2 days in town, would definitely recommend to pick this place!
