Food was excellent, especially the sea bass and emu. The night we went, they were short staffed, but they were up front about it, and we weren't in any hurry. It took a while to get our initial drink order as a result, but the bartender did an amazing job. We have been many times, and always enjoy dining here.

We always love dining at Novanta. Service is always perfect and accommodating. We celebrated our son’s birthday tonight. Jessica brought dough for our grandkids to play with while we wait for our meals to arrive. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, put it on your “must go” list. You will be happy!

Plenty of good authentic Spanish choices here. If you can't decide go for a selection of Tapas, about 3 per person and a shared salad would be perfect. The empanadas are excellent and the Mussels w/ Chorizo and bread is enough for a meal in itself. This is our favorite go to restaurant for special occasions. Prices are reasonable for the great quality here.
