Novela - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was marked by a fantastic Halloween atmosphere and nice vibes. The music was decent, and the service was exceptional. Serena was the star of the show, immediately assisting with drinks and sporting a great costume. She provided great service! Regarding the food, the chicken slider was a solid 8/10. However, the Cesar salad was a disappointing 3/10, described as pretty basic. The drinks were decent.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The drinks had zero alcohol, and when I inquired, I was told it was due to the law and they couldn't make strong drinks. The place was also very loud, making it hard to have a conversation. Additionally, there was no parking available. While the food received a 4/5 rating, the issues with the drinks, noise, and parking significantly detracted from the overall experience.

My experience at this restaurant was centered around its beautiful venue, which is perfect for enjoying drinks and watching occasional live bands. The drinks themselves were stiff and there was a great selection. I inquired about Chartreuse, and the staff was helpful in answering my question.

As someone who works in the service industry and is very observant, my experience here was 10/10. This place was recommended by another industry member, and I can see why! Everyone here is attentive. The atmosphere is super cute, and Francisco, the bartender who took care of me, will guide you to the best drinks and best spots. I 10/10 recommend.

This is a nice place for a date or to chill with friends! I really enjoyed the cozy vibe, the great food, and the tasty drinks. I'm definitely coming back!

My experience at this bar was great. It has a nice modern feel and is typically full of tech people, making it lively. The mixed cocktails were great. The service was rated 5/5, and the atmosphere was rated 4/5. We had no wait time, and the noise level was loud but still allowed for conversation. The price per person was $20–30.

For those who enjoy a strong drink, the Jay Gatsby cocktail is a must-try. It's nicely balanced. As a Bourbon drinker myself, I really enjoyed it even though it contained no Bourbon; it reminded me of a Bourbon Old Fashioned.

If you're looking for a chill spot while visiting San Fran, you should skip this one. Although I'm happy for the business that they had a packed venue for the viewing party they had for Lover's Island, it ended up taking over the scheduled Monday live jazz show that I had traveled to attend. The event ended up being canceled without any notice to those who RSVPd for the Jazz show, any updates to the website, or the company's Instagram account. Even the hostest seemed like she thought the event was still taking place. If you're in town for a short period, I'd rethink visiting this spot since it could be a waste of your time.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially during their Happy Hour. I highly recommend trying the punch flight and a dozen oysters. If you're lucky, ask for Jeremy as your server; he provided excellent service.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered 3 drinks, and unfortunately, they all tasted awful. The cocktail selection was also quite limited. On a Friday night, the establishment seemed understaffed, leading to a noticeable lack of service. Overall, it was a disappointing visit.
