Always good. And the best server in SF, Katie! No, really. The absolute, hands down, always positive, on the ball, pleasant, hard working server in ALL of SF. Don't take my word for it, jus go.

Great down to earth bar two blocks from AT&T Park. Best place to grab reasonably priced drinks before, during and after the game. The place is run by a Detroiter/Midwestern Gentleman

Bottomless mimosas for brunch hours on the weekends for $10. My pizza was bland but the eggs benedict or sliders are a good choice. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Lorelei is the mixologist in the house. Make sure she makes your drinks if she's there. PS: Natalie is still the best server :)

The new veggie burger is awesome, add avocado and get some onion rings. Soooo good if you're super hungry. Gets really crowded during games. Staff is always awesome.

French toast and mac n cheese, amazing! And they serve tatot tots, it's a win, win no matter what you order.

This is a great bar, very great service. Make sure you ask for Miles. He is the shit....even for a NY Giants fan.

This Mac & cheese is offfffffff the chain! Get it with some bacon!
Ali RaizinMay 18, 2013
Try the bacon bloody Mary's, some of the best in the city. It has to be the jalapeño-infused vodka.

This is our neighborhood bar after work. Nova just updated their already phenomenal menu to new heights. Eat: beefeater, mac 'n cheese, grilled chicken, fettuncini... actually, everything's great.

Ask for Natalie as a server. She's the best. Mario's also a great bartender. Try their bottomless mimosas - cure for any hangover :)

If you get french toast, get syrup on the side. Otherwise the toast is literally in a lake of syrup. You'll prob get diabetes from all the sugar.

Awesome white elephant party with my team, and the mushroom lobster quesadilla is delish!

the roast chicken dinner is excellent, and come back for brunch - they have all kinds of eggs benedict, delicious!
Mia LeeDecember 7, 2009
I love their bar menu (esp the lobster quesadilla and mac n cheese), but the brownie a la mode leaves something to be desired.

Come here before a Giants game when 21st Amendment is way too crowded.
Amanda CooperNovember 23, 2009
Portobello mushroom burger or lamb sliders, and a chilled pineapple-infused vodka shot are the best things about Nova! Read more
Jarvis JohnsonAugust 11, 2013
Service here is really bad. Servers get easily distracted by conversation and next thing you know you've waited 20 minutes to pay.

The macaroni and cheese at Nova is a guilty pleasure. Sit in the back to feel like you have your own "regular" table.
