    We thoroughly enjoyed the red snapper, and the wait staff was amazing. Great New Year’s Eve dinner away from the crowds on Seven Mile!

    We had a great dining experience at Nova. The food came out a little slow as they were very busy, but the staff continually gave us updates. All our food was terrific including the tuna tartare, which I highly recommend, the poke bowl, sushi roll, red snapper and the gnocchi bolognese. I definitely recommend this spot.

    Lovely healthy food, wonderful service, incredible views. The ideal spot to rest and nutrient-up after long day of walking! I had seared avocado, ceviche and house salad- all three had fun twists on classic items. Love the unique flavours and additions to each. The almond matcha was incredible, so frothy and delicious bitter green tea. The virgin mojito is genius, I am going to start making this at home (coconut water, mint, lime). Sitting poolside which is oceanside, watching divers head out and boats passing. This was the ultimate in body and mind soothing. Tyron and Reggie were so warm, welcoming, personable and fun. Thank you both for a perfect experience!
