Nova

Service was excellent. We had the salted squid for entree, and pork cheeks and the chicken dish for mains and the dark chocolate cherry cake for dessert. Everything tasted amazing and was beautifully presented.

We enjoyed our meal and the service very much, thank you

Beautiful meal and wonderful staff.

Scrumptious meal, slick service, tasty coffee and cake. Will be back!

My friend and I are all about wanting to try lots of flavours and so opted for sharing all our choices. The staff were really accomodating and provided extra plates for sharing. We started with two entrees: baked caprice gnocchi and pea and ricotta fritters. Both were truly delicious with lots of punchy flavours and already we were delighted with our selection. Next we shared a seared tuna main which was good. Finally we choose two cakes from the cabinet: a chocolate cherry gateaux with rich ganache and a lemon ricotta cake. Both were heavenly. The service was attentive and engaging. Hard to believe that with the First Table 50% discount we only paid $20.62!! As we left we discussed that it almost seemed wrong that we’d had so much tasty food for such economical price. Throughly recommend both Nova and First Table. Already we’re planning our next experience.

The food is really really good. Thank you.

I like donuts with chocolate, it was so delicious!!!

The food was amazing. I had the beef fillet and it was very tender and very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious food, great value for money with 50% off, would definitely dine here again

Great food! Loved it all, the salt and pepper squid was our favourite and the nova cone and injectable donut were such fun! Our waiter was lovely and very friendly and mocktails were nice. 5/5 favourite food place in Dunedin

First time having a meal at nova, normally go for the well know injectable donuts, which are amazing.
When we first arrived all the waiters were so lovely and welcoming, seated straight away, and the waitress was so friendly and kind. The meals where just Devine. Very filling and looked amazing. Would recommend for a nice meal out.

Great steak great cake, great service. Highly recommend

First time we've eaten here, very nice place. Food very tasty, I had the steak. Service excellent. Thanks

Had a wonderful eveing as a family of 4 at Nova. Food was excellent, portion sizes great, Love the sparkling water when seated and continously topped up.
Amazing waiter Adam. Attentive and friendly, patient with elderly folk. Overall a fantastic experience.

Delicious food, steak was perfect the risotto was great and I don't usually like risotto.

We thought Nova was excellent, the special of the day was amazing, and I was particularly impressed that the fish was grilled with the kids meals. It was the service we received that made the evening really great, the waitress was fantastic and lovely, we’ll definitely make the a regular dining spot when we come to Dunedin.
Thank you

Exceptional food made with heart and soul! Could not fault a thing and can’t wait to come back to Dunedin again to taste Nova’s menu again. Very friendly staff too.

Lovely food and the head of house was very personable but professional.

Excellent entrees and desserts here. Desserts are the best, containing both classics and creative dishes. Food and drinks came out very quickly, even though the restaurant was full before a show at the Regent Theatre. Water refills were somewhat slow though. Ideal location in the Octagon

Had a lovely evening together!

Great service and food was delicious.Recommend the Japaese pancake and the fish and chips with slaw . Staff were attentive and nothing was an issue for dietary requirements .

Wonderful food and wonderful service, best place in Dunedin we have tried so far by a mile!

Average main food ; good Nova cone dessert . Nice staff.

Amazing!!

Another great meal. Perfect steak and mash. The the pear and raspberry cake was amazing. Great service. Most highly recommend

Had a fabulous evening at Nova- such a cosy evening in the middle of a cold Dunedin week! Had the fish of the day and the steak and both were absolutely phenomenal. The fish dish was one of the best I have had all year. Finished with the famous Nova cone and a classic, Creme Brûlée. Both were delicious. 100% would recommend, the deal is insane. Basically getting a free dessert and a cheap main but top quality food and service- thank you First Table!!!

Had a great meal, perfect for the family with kids menu.
And huge donuts for dessert.

The salted caramel donut is good. There are several flavours you can choose. The restaurant is in a good location, you’ll find it easily in the Highly recommended.

fabulous service, exceptional food...would highly recommend anyone going here...and definitely will go back

We ordered the Beef Fillet with Smokey Mashed Potatoes, Mushroom Duxelle roll, jus, medium rare. It was very delicious and we were very happy with the quality of the ingredients that they used. It was just the right amount. The service was excellent. Nothing was a bother. We were seated in the table which had a plaque dedicated to J.M.S. who has been a customer for 30 years according to the information we gathered. Nice ambience, 5 STARS!

Great dining experience thank you - friendly staff and delicious food!!

Good food but we have to wait approx 20-30 minutes for the food. I ordered beef steak for medium rare but it turned out almost medium well (but it tastes good so yeah), while my friends ordered burger and lamb chops. We ordered the injected donuts dessert and they were really good. Overall good experience and would love to eat in nova again.

Lovely meal and great service. We had a really good evening out and will definitely be back - the staff are friendly and very helpful

Excellent food and service

Excellent food, the chicken katsu burger was great! Good quality food and brilliant service.
