Editorial Review for Nova Bar & Restaurant – by Daniel Liszt
The Scene
This minimalist SoMa lounge feels like a modern coffee shop. Curtains flank the entrance and sparse wall decorations consist of a couple mirrors. The 30-something crowd is here to socialize, not to see and be seen. Maroon velvet-backed booths run the length of the narrow room, ideal for groups. Above the mirror-backed bar, several honeycomb-shaped lamps add a yellow glow to the area.
The Draw
A handful of infused vodkas are always available. Selections rotate weekly and add zing to standard drinks, like a frothy pineapple-infused cosmo or kickin' jalapeno-infused bloody mary. The menu features several entrees, as well as small plates, like lobster quesadillas and mac and cheese. The Perfect Burger is a winner, while ribs are so tender, they fall off the bone. Complementing Nova's casual vibe is an outstanding mix of jazz and reggae playing at nearly subconscious levels. Some nights also feature DJs and live bands.

I just returned from lunch at one of my favorite SOMA lunch spots. As usual, the food & service were strong and the atmosphere full of happiness. We split the Mac & Cheese and as usual it was outstanding. In addtion, we ordered salads- the Wedge & the Chopped Cobb. The Wedge was tasty and generous. The Chopped Cobb was huge and looked great. We made a reservation so were seated promptly as Nova can get busy at lunch time on a Friday. I suggest making one.

In from Phila. Found Nova thru City Search. Food delicious - order everything and share. Must order Lobster & mushroom Quesadilla, Crab Cakes, Chicken PotPie. All salads great. Don't miss Sunday Brunch. Fritatta's excellent. My personal favorite Apple Cinnamon French Toast -to die for. Bartenders & waiters/waitresses friendly and colorful. Forgot the calamari - excellent. Quaint restaurant - a real treat.
